UNSPSC 39111708: Emergency exit illuminated sign

UNSPSC 39111708 Emergency exit illuminated sign is a Commodity code that in practice captures a much broader range of electrical equipment, lighting systems, and power infrastructure products than its title suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are purchasing LED lighting fixtures for sports fields and facility lighting upgrades, UPS and battery maintenance services, lighting consoles for civic centers, video monitoring and access control system maintenance, airfield lighting components, extrication equipment for fire rescue operations, and emergency power generation systems for disaster response — a mix reflecting the catch-all nature of how jurisdictions tag electrical and emergency-response equipment procurements. Issuing bodies span county governments (Santa Clara County, Collier County, Lee County Port Authority, Pinellas County), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, Bibb County Public Schools), cities (Charlotte, Pembroke Pines, Fairburn, Dunwoody), fire rescue agencies, airports, transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System), utilities departments, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives like Sourcewell. Repeat buyers are scattered and no single jurisdiction dominates recent activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Minnesota. Representative solicitations include Bibb County Public Schools' RFP 26-039 (posted April 21, 2026, due May 21, 2026) for LED field lighting design and installation at seven middle schools with mandatory pre-bid and site visit on April 29, 2026; the City of Charlotte's RFP 269-2026-1988 (posted February 12, 2026, due March 12, 2026) for maintenance and support of video monitoring and access control systems across 50 transit facilities; Sourcewell's RFP 061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across multiple states; and Collier County's RFP 25-8416 (originally February 11, 2026, proposals March 18, 2026) for a pool of qualified disaster response contractors supplying power generation, emergency shelters, and equipment. The code's actual procurement activity does not align neatly with its nominal scope, suggesting vendors should review individual solicitation descriptions rather than relying on the code title to identify relevant opportunities.
