UNSPSC 39112001: Light tower

UNSPSC 39112001 Light tower (Commodity) encompasses portable and stationary LED lighting equipment that state and local governments procure for temporary and permanent outdoor illumination at sports facilities, parking areas, airfield infrastructure, recreation centers, and public venues. Recent solicitations show that the actual buying spans from single-unit purchases of specialized fixtures to large-scale LED system replacements, with emphasis on energy efficiency, operational reliability, and compliance with standard footcandle requirements across athletic fields, transit facilities, and municipal infrastructure. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Parkway School District, Crisp County, Bibb County Public Schools, Cherokee County School District, New Buffalo Area Schools), county governments (Sarasota County, Orange County [California], Harris County Precinct 2, Gwinnett County, Bernalillo County), cities (Madison, Gainesville, Waco, Brownsville, Temple, Salem, Bartow, Pembroke Pines), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Trinity Metro), and special-purpose airport districts (Lee County Port Authority, Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California, with additional recent procurement in Colorado, Wisconsin, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, and Arizona. The code shows heavy recent activity through both competitive bidding and as-needed supply agreements across municipal and education sectors.

Representative recent opportunities include Parkway School District's LED lighting supply RFQ (due July 30, 2026) for approximately $35,000 over twelve months on an as-needed basis; Sarasota County's Quick Quote for 45 LED lighted silhouette pole-mount holiday decorations (due July 23, 2026) with a $50,000 not-to-exceed bid ceiling; Crisp County, Georgia's athletics fields LED lighting upgrade RFQ (due July 28, 2026); and the City of Bartow's ITB for sports field lighting installation at Carver Recreation Center (due July 22, 2026) including four 1,500-watt LED fixtures per pole on eight existing structures with associated 200-amp electrical service, representing a CDBG-funded project subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wages. Bernalillo County's RFB for electrical supplies (due April 8, 2026) included exterior and interior LED light fixtures across multiple bid lots on a four-year indefinite-quantity discount agreement, requiring 30-minute emergency delivery within the Albuquerque Metropolitan area. Orange County Transportation Authority's blanket renewal for lighting supplies (two-year term, $50,000 budget) specifies delivery within four days of order to facilities in Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Irvine. State and local procurement under this code often includes specifications for contractor qualifications (licensed electricians, manufacturer certifications), insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability depending on project scale), and performance standards including energy consumption metrics and warranty periods from one to twenty years.
