UNSPSC 39111505: Recessed lighting

UNSPSC 39111505 Recessed lighting, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply and installation of recessed and specialty lighting fixtures that state and local governments procure for facility renovations, retrofits, and new construction across diverse property types. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reveal purchasing spanning LED ceiling fixtures for gymnasiums and aquatic centers, theatrical lighting systems for school auditoriums and performing arts venues, field lighting equipment for sports complexes, and decorative pole-mount LED units for municipal displays. Issuing bodies include county school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Cherokee County Schools, Gatesville ISD, Northside ISD, Bibb County Public Schools), county governments (Gwinnett County, Bernalillo County), cities (Phoenix, Sarasota, Pembroke Pines, Dallas, Bartow, Hattiesburg), and special-purpose districts (Orange County Transportation Authority, Lee County Port Authority). School districts represent the largest segment of recent activity, particularly for theatrical and gymnasium lighting retrofits driven by facility modernization and energy-efficiency mandates.

Activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary volume in Michigan, Arizona, Mississippi, and Colorado. Representative recent opportunities include the Pinellas County School District's competitive sealed bid for Theater Lighting Renovations across three high schools with an approximate total contract value of $1.68 million (sealed electronic bids due March 10, 2026); Bibb County Public Schools' RFP 26-039 for LED field lighting at seven middle school practice fields and the Ed Defore Sports Complex with proposals due May 21, 2026 via Bonfire; Gwinnett County's IWQ 125942 for facility lighting at the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center with quotations due March 17, 2026; the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ 250263 for lighting supplies on a blanket renewal basis with a $50,000 two-year budget (quotes due June 11, 2026); and the City of Bartow's ITB 26-18 for sports field lighting installation at the Carver Recreation Center with bids due July 22, 2026 and mandatory pre-proposal meeting July 9, 2026. Many solicitations carry prevailing wage requirements, Davis-Bacon compliance obligations where federal funding applies (particularly CDBG-funded projects), and licensing mandates for electrical contractors. Response windows typically range from two to four weeks, with sealed electronic submission through OpenGov, Bonfire, or municipal e-procurement portals becoming standard. Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing, past performance references, and technical specification compliance.
