UNSPSC 39112403: Lighting power supply and control units

UNSPSC 39112403 Lighting power supply and control units (Commodity) comprises theatrical lighting control systems, LED field lighting installations, architectural lighting controls, and airfield lighting systems that state and local governments procure for venue renovations, facility upgrades, and infrastructure maintenance. Recent solicitations show school districts dominating this code's activity, with theatrical lighting console replacements and sports field illumination representing the largest volume of current work, alongside smaller procurements for audiovisual broadcast infrastructure and specialized airfield lighting compatibility. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Bibb County Public Schools in Georgia, Harlingen Consolidated ISD in Texas, and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county port authorities (Lee County Port Authority in Florida), city governments (Boulder County and City of Pembroke Pines), and transit-adjacent entertainment venues. Work ranges from single-location console replacements ($501,000 at Pinellas County) to multi-site theatrical renovations ($1.68 million across three high schools) and comprehensive field lighting systems with dimming and remote control capability. Contractors must typically hold active state electrical licenses, demonstrate five years of continuous operation, and provide evidence of two or more comparable projects in lighting systems or theatrical installations within the prior five years.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary opportunities in Colorado, Mississippi, Texas, and New Mexico. The Pinellas County School District appears twice in the most recent block—once for a single-location theater lighting renovation (ITB 26CD020, due May 15, 2026, approximately $501,000 plus $50,000 contingency) and once for a three-location theatrical system rebid (RFP 26039, due March 12, 2026, approximately $1.68 million total). Bibb County Public Schools issued RFP 26-039 for LED field lighting at seven middle schools and the Ed Defore Sports Complex (due May 21, 2026, evaluation on cost 50 points, timeline 20 points, experience 20 points, company overview 10 points), with a mandatory pre-bid meeting April 29, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools, the nation's seventh-largest school system, solicited studio equipment including lighting kits via ITB 26049 (due April 13, 2026, estimated $300,000 annual spending). Lee County Port Authority issued a sole-source procurement (SS260065LB, due May 22, 2026) for ADB Safegate airfield lighting fixtures and parts at Southwest Florida International Airport and Page Field. Bay Waveland School District in Mississippi solicited auditorium lighting upgrades (RFB 3170036006, due June 23, 2026). Boulder County, Colorado bid materials for over 850 LED fixtures and Wattstopper DLM lighting controls at the Boulder Hub renovation (BID24426, due February 23, 2026, materials only, labor by county staff). No set-asides or disadvantaged-business restrictions appear in the recent block, though Bibb County emphasized 75 percent local workforce residency and minority and small business subcontractor utilization.
