UNSPSC 39111808: Grilles

UNSPSC 39111808 Grilles is a Commodity code that encompasses decorative and functional grille products, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows the code is being applied to LED lighting fixtures, lighting systems, and lighting replacement projects—a significant scope mismatch between the nominal code definition and actual procurement. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span holiday pole-mount LED decorations (Sarasota County Quick Quote 2026QQ778, quotes due July 23, 2026), lobby and gymnasium lighting retrofits (Pembroke Pines and Bartow municipal projects), theatrical and auditorium lighting system installations across multiple school districts, and LED conversion projects at parks, transit facilities, and educational campuses. The issuing-body mix includes county transportation authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), municipalities (Sarasota County, Pembroke Pines, City of Bartow, City of Daytona Beach), school districts (Pinellas County, Bibb County Public Schools, Cherokee County Schools, Gull Lake Community Schools, Bloomingdale Public Schools, Northside ISD, Gatesville ISD), state departments (Texas Facilities Commission, State of Illinois, South Dakota State University), and special-purpose districts (Lee County Port Authority, Orlando Utilities Commission). Pinellas County Schools appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple RFPs for comprehensive theater lighting renovations at individual high schools and across three-location packages, with one contract valued at approximately $1.68 million across all three locations combined. Geographic spread is broad: recent activity concentrates in Florida (Sarasota, Pembroke Pines, Daytona Beach, Lee County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Bibb County Public Schools, Cherokee County Schools), Michigan (Bloomingdale Public Schools, Gull Lake Community Schools, Oak Park Schools), Texas (Bartow, Gatesville ISD, Northside ISD, Dallas), and scattered activity in Colorado, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Illinois, Connecticut, New Mexico, North Carolina, Minnesota, and South Dakota.

Representative solicitations include the Sarasota County Quick Quote for 45 LED lighted silhouette pole-mount decorations (RFQ, due July 23, 2026, $50,000 budget cap); Orange County Transportation Authority's blanket renewal contract for lighting supplies at four facilities on an as-needed basis (RFQ, two-year term, $50,000 budget); Pinellas County Schools' comprehensive theater lighting renovation at three high school locations (IFB/RFP, approximately $1.68 million across all sites, 120-day completion requirement, one-year warranty required); Bibb County Public Schools' LED field lighting installation at seven middle school practice fields and one sports complex (RFP 26-039, due May 21, 2026, mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit, 75-percent local workforce requirement); and Gwinnett County's Bethesda Park Aquatic Center lighting replacement (IFB, sealed bids due March 13, 2026, pre-bid conference February 24, 2026). Davis-Bacon wage requirements, HUD Section 3 compliance, and prevailing-wage obligations apply to federally funded projects including CDBG initiatives. The mismatch between the grilles commodity code and lighting-system procurement suggests either systematic miscoding at source or a data-quality issue warranting clarification before pursuing opportunities under this code.
