UNSPSC 39112307: Lighting bars

UNSPSC 39112307 Lighting bars (Commodity) encompasses theatrical and architectural lighting fixtures installed in performance venues, museums, and public infrastructure—specifically LED track-mounted fixtures, control systems, and related electrical infrastructure that state and local governments procure for auditorium renovations, cultural exhibits, and transportation facilities. Recent solicitations show state agencies, school districts, and transit authorities acquiring complete lighting systems with control consoles, dimming equipment, and installation services rather than components alone. The work spans theatrical venues (museum exhibits, school auditoriums) and outdoor public spaces (bridge replacements, airfield operations, transit stations), with a clear trend toward LED technology and integrated control systems requiring vendor expertise in both equipment specification and on-site commissioning.

State library systems, school districts across multiple states, county transportation authorities, and municipal transit agencies dominate the recent activity. The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (Illinois) issued an IFB in May 2026 for ETC theatrical lighting and control systems including thirteen Irideon fixtures, fifteen Selador fixtures, a Unison Mosaic control system, and eight days of certified technical services—deliverables required within 60 days of contract execution with a 4% Business Enterprise Program minority/women/disability participation goal. The Jordan School District (Utah) posted an IFB in April 2026 for theatrical lighting and AV upgrades at Elk Ridge Middle School, specifying ETC ColorSource and Ion Xe equipment with mandatory pre-bid walk-through on May 6, 2026, and May 14, 2026 bid deadline. Bibb County Public Schools (Georgia) issued an RFP for LED field lighting at seven middle schools and a sports complex, due May 21, 2026. Trinity Metro (Fort Worth, Texas) solicited electrical infrastructure for tree lighting at Central Station in dual RFP releases (March 12 and April 15, 2026, due April 9 and April 30 respectively), each requiring transformers, ground boxes, conduit, and GFCI protection. The code sees concentrated activity in the Southeast and Mountain West (Florida, Georgia, Utah, Texas) with secondary presence in Illinois, reflecting school district capital budgets and transit authority facility upgrades.
