UNSPSC 39111612: Area lighting

Lighting done for external large areas.

UNSPSC 39111612 Area lighting, a Commodity code, covers LED and conventional lighting fixtures for exterior and interior applications that state and local governments procure on an as-needed or project basis—including parking lot light fixtures, field lighting systems, pole-mounted holiday decorations, and comprehensive venue or facility lighting upgrades. The issuing bodies span school districts, counties, cities, transit authorities, and airport authorities, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity. State and local procurement under this code ranges from small consumables orders (Gwinnett County purchasing approximately 200 metal halide ballasts and capacitors annually) to major infrastructure projects (Bibb County Schools designing and installing LED field lighting at seven middle schools; City of Bartow's $500,000-plus sports field lighting installation funded by CDBG). Representative recent solicitations include Parkway School District's RFQ for LED lighting supplies on an as-needed basis with $35,000 estimated annual spend (due July 30, 2026), Sarasota County's Quick Quote for 45 LED lighted silhouette pole-mount holiday decorations (due July 23, 2026), and the City of Bartow's ITB for electrical contracting services to install and activate a sports field lighting system at the Carver Recreation Center under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements (due July 22, 2026).

Geographic activity is widely dispersed across the United States. Recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Sarasota County, City of Bartow, Orange County), Georgia (Crisp County, Bibb County Schools, Cherokee County Schools, Gwinnett County, Heart of Georgia Regional Airport), Texas (City of Waco, City of Frisco, City of Brownsville, Trinity Metro in Fort Worth), and other states including Michigan, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Oregon, Colorado, and New Mexico. Work ranges from consumable supply contracts and maintenance to design-build and retrofit projects, with evaluation criteria typically emphasizing cost, contractor qualifications, experience with comparable projects, and compliance with applicable codes and prevailing wage standards. Many solicitations incorporate federal funding (CDBG, FTA, TxDOT, FAA Airport Improvement Program), triggering Davis-Bacon wage compliance, Buy America certifications, and disadvantaged business enterprise participation requirements.
