UNSPSC 39111806: Light boxes

UNSPSC 39111806 Light boxes (Commodity) encompasses LED-based decorative and functional lighting fixtures that state and local governments procure for outdoor display, facility illumination, and specialized applications. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers sourcing holiday-themed LED silhouettes for municipal decoration, LED retrofit fixtures for recreation center and school gymnasium upgrades, theatrical lighting systems for performance venues, and emergency/specialty lighting for aquatic centers and transit facilities. Issuing bodies span city governments, county departments, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose facilities. Sarasota County sought 45 LED holiday decorations (Quick Quote 2026QQ778, July 23 deadline); the Pinellas County School District has pursued multiple theater lighting renovation projects across high schools; Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation bid LED pool lighting replacement (PE77023NONST2026000000500, March 13 deadline); and the City of Daytona Beach Ocean Center procured six new Followspot theatrical units (ITB 26-B-62JJ, April 8 deadline). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Sarasota, Pinellas, Broward, Volusia), Georgia (Gwinnett, Cherokee, Bibb), Michigan (Oak Park, Gull Lake, Bloomingdale), and Texas (Dallas, Gatesville), with additional procurement in Colorado, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Mississippi, and California.

The code shows active demand across multiple facility types. Decorative pole-mount LED fixtures cater to seasonal/municipal branding; LED retrofit work dominates school and recreation center modernization, driven by energy-efficiency mandates and aging infrastructure; and theatrical lighting console and fixture upgrades serve performing arts venues. Procurement vehicles include RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices, with response windows typically 10–30 days. Recurring buyers include Pinellas County Schools (multiple high school theater projects), Gwinnett County (facility lighting), and city recreation/public-works departments. Many opportunities carry Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements (federal CDBG or HUD funding), mandatory pre-bid/site-visit requirements, and technical specification stringency (NEC compliance, fixture model equivalency, installation timelines 90–120 days). Insurance and bonding thresholds range from $500,000 to $5,000,000 general liability depending on project scope. Award typically flows to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, though some districts weight qualifications, past performance, and timeline capability alongside cost. Set-aside programs appear sporadically (DBE, MBE, WBE in federal-aid projects); cooperative purchasing and state-level agreements influence some evaluations. The activity is robust and ongoing across the surveyed jurisdictions.
