UNSPSC 39121110: Circuit breaker switchboard

UNSPSC 39121110 Circuit breaker switchboard (Commodity) covers the procurement of circuit breakers, switchboards, and related electrical distribution equipment by state and local governments. State and local buyers under this code are sourcing replacement and new-installation circuit breakers ranging from 15 kV vacuum units to 1600-ampere air breakers for utility substations, water and wastewater treatment facilities, correctional institutions, and municipal power systems. Recent solicitations show utility authorities, county public works departments, state departments of corrections, and independent school districts all acquiring hardware and installation services for circuit protection and load management. The work typically includes not only the breakers themselves but also associated control systems, relays, transformers, testing, and commissioning—indicating that the code captures both commodity supply and the technical services required to integrate equipment into operational electrical systems.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Florida (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Hillsborough County, Broward County, Bay County), Texas (Lubbock Power & Light, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Northside Independent School District), Mississippi (University of Mississippi), Michigan (City of Jackson), Illinois (Department of Corrections), Virginia (Fairfax County), Georgia (City of Lavonia), and Wisconsin (Portage County). Representative recent opportunities include the Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for Marydia Substation 15 kV circuit breaker replacement (posted October 19, 2026, sealed bids due November 15, 2016, awarded to Terry's Electric at $74,710.27), Hillsborough County's ITB for pump station control panels and enclosures (posted August 28, 2026, bids due September 29, 2026, estimated contract value $3.66 million over two years with ten bidders ranging $2.5 million to $5.1 million), Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for outdoor 15 kV vacuum circuit breakers (posted August 27, 2026, proposals due September 24, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Corrections' small-purchase procurement for a 1600-ampere breaker replacement at Dixon Correctional Center (posted July 13, 2026, proposals due July 16, 2026, contract ceiling $26,520). Broward County issued two sequential IFBs for water and wastewater control panel fabrication and refurbishment on an open-end indefinite-quantity basis (posted May 26 and May 21, 2026, responses due June 26 and June 22, 2026), each with estimated annual pass-through allowances of $38,000 to $80,000. Fairfax County's five-year switchgear testing and preventative maintenance contract (posted May 12, 2026, bids due June 9, 2026) requires 24/7 service availability and maintenance across eight county facilities. School districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles also appear in the activity mix—Pinellas County Schools issued an IFB for electrical supplies including distribution equipment (posted September 28, 2026, bids due March 27, 2026, estimated annual contract value $950,000). Procurement activity under this code reflects steady demand for both commodity supply and integrated electrical systems work, with contract values ranging from under $30,000 for emergency repairs to multi-million-dollar panel fabrication and testing agreements.
