UNSPSC 39111830: Lighting cross arm

An arm that is perpendicular to a vertical pole that is used to align space and separate lights hung in close proximity.

UNSPSC 39111830 Lighting cross arm, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within electrical infrastructure that state and local governments acquire primarily for utility system maintenance, field lighting retrofit projects, and specialized installations where cross-arm-mounted fixtures serve specific operational or safety functions. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code, however, show little alignment with cross-arm hardware itself; instead, they reflect broader lighting procurement activity spanning fixture replacements, lighting system installations, theatrical lighting upgrades, and emergency field lighting—work that may incidentally involve cross-arm components but is not primarily about cross-arm procurement. The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Education, Pinellas County School District, Bulloch County Schools, Forsyth County Schools, Gatesville ISD, Northside ISD), counties (Harris County Precinct 3, Milwaukee County, Portage County, Lee County Port Authority, Santa Clara County), cities (Lubbock, Sarasota, Tucson, Bartow, Pembroke Pines, Douglasville, Bridgeport), and transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority). Gwinnett County Board of Education appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple school renovation projects involving interior and exterior lighting components.

The recent opportunities show activity primarily in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Bulloch County, Forsyth County), Florida (Pinellas County Schools, Sarasota County, Lee County), and scattered across Texas, Wisconsin, Arizona, and other states. Representative recent solicitations include Bulloch County Schools' LED Lighting Project #FY2027-Phase 03 at Mill Creek Elementary (RFP, due November 5, 2026) for LED fixture retrofit with specified product lists; Pinellas County School District's Electrical Maintenance Repair Services (ITB #26CD037, due October 8, 2026) covering fixture installation and maintenance across school facilities; and Gwinnett County Board of Education's interior renovation projects at Corley ES (IFB, due November 17, 2026), Simonton ES (IFB, due November 10, 2026), and Bay Creek MS Addition (IFB, due October 29, 2026). A significant theater lighting initiative appears in Pinellas County School District's Theater Lighting Renovations solicitations (multiple school sites, estimated $1.68 million combined value). However, the code itself shows little recent activity tagged specifically to cross-arm procurement; the mismatch suggests this Commodity code may be receiving incidental tagging on broader lighting and electrical construction scopes where cross-arm components are not the primary driver.
