UNSPSC 39111533: Fluorescent strip

Fluorescent light fixture in the shape of a rectangular strip used in commercial and industrial applications.

UNSPSC 39111533 Fluorescent strip (Commodity) encompasses LED and theatrical lighting fixture procurement, replacement, and related installation services that state and local governments are actively buying—though recent solicitations reveal a notable mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being purchased. The code is appearing under solicitations for LED lighting system replacements at recreation centers, schools, and municipal facilities; theatrical lighting console and fixture upgrades at performance venues; parking and roadway lighting installations; and ballasts and capacitors for industrial lighting maintenance. Issuing bodies span school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Gatesville ISD in Texas, Cherry County Schools in Georgia, Gull Lake and Oak Park Schools in Michigan), counties (Gwinnett County and Volusia County in Georgia and Florida, Bernalillo County in New Mexico, Portage County in Wisconsin), cities (Sarasota, Bartow, and Pembroke Pines in Florida; Hattiesburg in Mississippi; Dallas and Wheat Ridge in Colorado), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority in California, Charlotte Area Transit System in North Carolina), and universities (Texas State University, South Dakota State University). Repeat buyers include Pinellas County Schools (three separate theatrical lighting renovation solicitations across multiple high school locations) and Gwinnett County (multiple lighting fixture and ballast procurements).

Activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Michigan, and California, with secondary volume in North Carolina, Colorado, New Mexico, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include Sarasota County's Quick Quote for 45 LED lighted silhouette pole mount decorations (response due July 23, 2026, under solicitation 2026QQ778), City of Bartow's ITB for electrical contracting to install and activate a sports field lighting system (ITB 26-18, bids due July 22, 2026, with mandatory pre-proposal meeting July 9, 2026), Pinellas County Schools' sealed bid for theater lighting renovations at Palm Harbor University High School (response deadline May 15, 2026, under solicitation 26CD020, approximately $501,000 contract value), Gwinnett County's competitive sealed bid for ballasts and capacitors on an annual contract (quotes due June 12, 2026, under PE77023NONST2026000000134, approximately 200 units annually each of 1500W metal halide ballasts and capacitors), and Bernalillo County's Request for Bids for electrical supplies including exterior and interior LED light fixtures and lighting controls (bids due April 8, 2026, under RFB #43-26-BC, with state resident, small business, and pay equity business preferences available capped at 18% total). Davis-Bacon wage standards, HUD Section 3 requirements, and prevailing wage determinations appear frequently in school district and CDBG-funded municipal projects, materially restricting the bidder pool and imposing labor compliance obligations.
