UNSPSC 39121103: Panelboards

UNSPSC 39121103 Panelboards, a Commodity code, encompasses the fabrication, installation, replacement, and maintenance of electrical panelboards, control panels, switchboards, and circuit breaker assemblies serving power distribution, emergency response, and facility operations across state and local infrastructure. State and local governments procure panelboards primarily for water and wastewater treatment facilities, correctional institutions, utility substations, pump stations, and building systems upgrades, often bundled with control system integration, testing, and warranties. Issuing bodies include utility authorities, county departments, city water systems, university facilities management, school districts, and state corrections agencies. The work commonly involves UL 508A certification requirements, compliance with the National Electrical Code and NFPA standards, factory acceptance testing, and emergency response availability. Broward County, Hillsborough County, Fairfax County, and the Kissimmee Utility Authority appear as repeat buyers across recent solicitations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Mississippi, and Virginia, with Florida showing the highest concentration of recent opportunities. Representative recent opportunities include the Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for circuit breaker replacement at the Marydia Substation (October 2026, sealed bids November 15, 2016), Hillsborough County's ITB for pump station control panels and enclosures estimated at $3.66 million over two years with weekly delivery requirements (September 29, 2026), Broward County's open-end procurement for fabrication and refurbishment of water and wastewater control panels with unit pricing and $80,000 annual pass-through allowances (June 22, 2026), the City of Bartow's specification for a new Master Lift Station Motor Control Center with post-bid shop drawings and SCADA integration, and Fairfax County's five-year term contract for switchgear testing and preventative maintenance across eight wastewater facilities with 48-hour routine and 2-hour emergency response requirements (June 9, 2026). Control panel work frequently carries prevailing wage obligations and federal compliance riders such as Davis-Bacon or FEMA requirements; local preference and small business enterprise set-asides appear selectively in Florida and Georgia procurements.
