UNSPSC 39112301: Color changer

UNSPSC 39112301 Color changer, a Commodity code, covers lighting fixtures and equipment that modify or adjust light color, wavelength, or output characteristics in built environments. State and local governments procure color-changing fixtures primarily for traffic signal modernization (GPS-synchronized signals with advanced detection), municipal venue lighting (high-performance spotlights for arenas and performance spaces), holiday and seasonal decorative lighting, airfield illumination systems, and specialized exhibit or display lighting. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies across cities (Fort Worth, Brownsville, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Cooper City), counties (Cameron, Santa Clara, Lee), a state agency (Illinois), and a regional transit authority (Trinity Metro) bidding equipment, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and training services. The mix tilts toward municipal transportation and venue operations; however, the code shows limited coherence — recent opportunities span traffic signals, decorative holiday lights, theatrical spotlights, airfield fixtures, and light towers, suggesting issuing bodies tag diverse lighting work under this commodity rather than treating it as a unified procurement category.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Cameron County and the City of Brownsville both issued traffic signal modernization IFBs (due July 28 and May 21, 2026) for the Carbon Reduction Program, specifying advanced detection systems and GPS time-sync equipment across multiple signalized intersections. The City of Orlando issued IFBs for high-performance xenon spotlight systems at the Kia Center (original due November 2025; reissued April 2026, due March 12), requiring Lycian Model 1295 ELT fixtures, installation, and three-year maintenance. Trinity Metro in Fort Worth posted parallel RFPs for the Central Station Tree Lighting Project (due April 2026) covering transformers, ground boxes, conduit, and GFCI protection at pavilion areas. The City of Cooper City issued an IFB for holiday lighting and decorations (due July 23, 2026); the County of Santa Clara requested a quotation for a Generac Mobile Hypercube Light Tower (due July 9, 2026); the State of Illinois ALPLM solicited ETC track-lighting equipment and programming for the Citizen City exhibit (due May 28, 2026); and Lee County Port Authority procured ADB Safegate airfield lighting fixtures on a sole-source basis (due May 22, 2026). Activity is recent and geographically scattered, but the underlying work—fixture supply, installation, electrical integration, and maintenance—aligns with the code's nominal scope. Vendors pursuing this code should expect competitive sealed-bid and RFP structures, mandatory pre-bid attendance in some cases, Davis-Bacon compliance on federally funded projects, and routine insurance and bonding requirements.
