UNSPSC 39121102: Meter centers or sockets

UNSPSC 39121102 Meter centers or sockets is a Commodity code that classifies electrical distribution hardware and related components procured by state and local governments. However, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reveal a significant scope mismatch: the opportunities actually being solicited include comprehensive electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio, Texas); law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative for multiple Washington counties and national participating entities); and video monitoring and access control system maintenance (Charlotte Area Transit System, North Carolina). Only the first solicitation arguably touches meter-related hardware within the code's nominal scope, while the second and third are unrelated to meter centers or sockets. The issuing bodies span independent school districts, state cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple counties, and transit authorities, reflecting fragmented procurement across different sector types.

The recent activity concentrates in Texas and Washington, with secondary activity in North Carolina. Northside Independent School District posted IFB 2026098 on June 8, 2026 with a July 1, 2026 response deadline for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services to San Antonio; the District required all vendors to respond to the new IFB or risk losing future business with the District, replacing expiring contract 2025-100. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and other public entities nationwide, with proposals due June 16, 2026 through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The City of Charlotte issued RFP #269-2026-1988 on February 12, 2026 for maintenance of 1,023 cameras and 153 emergency communication devices across transit facilities, with proposals due March 12, 2026 and contract commencement July 1, 2026. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for meter centers and sockets specifically.
