UNSPSC 39121308: Outlet box

A box or receptacle designed to facilitate connections to a wiring system.

UNSPSC 39121308 Outlet box is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure outlet boxes as components within broader electrical equipment, parts, and supplies contracts. Recent solicitations show outlet boxes are typically sourced as line items within larger electrical supply agreements serving maintenance, repair, and construction needs across diverse public facilities. The code captures individual box units—typically standard electrical enclosures for mounting outlets, switches, or related terminations—as part of comprehensive electrical inventory procurement. Issuing bodies span school districts, transportation authorities, utilities, counties, and municipalities. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) solicited electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services under IFB2026098 with a July 1, 2026 response deadline, explicitly requiring outlet boxes and related components for districtwide maintenance. Pinellas County School District issued IFB 26-AM-008 for electrical supplies encompassing conduit, raceways, wiring devices, and related components including outlet boxes across 27 categories, due March 27, 2026. Orange County Transportation Authority (Orange County, California) requested industrial electrical supplies under RFQ 250243 due March 30, 2026, budgeted at $10,000 annually for delivery to two facilities in Garden Grove and Santa Ana. The Maryland Administrative Office of the Courts solicited electrical services through RFP K26-0046-89 for outlet and receptacle installation across four service regions, with proposals due April 17, 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, and the upper Midwest, with secondary presence in Oregon and Wisconsin. School districts appear as repeat buyers—Pinellas County and Northside Independent School District both pursued comprehensive electrical supply contracts in the first half of 2026. Transportation authorities (Orange County TA, Jacksonville TA, Charlotte CATS) and municipal utilities (Florida Keys Electric Cooperative) also source outlet boxes and electrical components regularly. Recent solicitations frame outlet boxes within as-needed supply agreements on fixed-price or discount-based schedules rather than project-specific bids. Delivery terms emphasize FOB Destination with rapid fulfillment (within 48 hours to four calendar days in some cases), firm pricing without escalators during initial contract terms, and manufacturer's standard warranties. Incumbent contracts appear to roll over—Northside ISD explicitly noted that failure to respond to the new electrical equipment IFB would impact future business opportunities with the district. No set-asides or restricted participation are evident in the recent opportunities; cost and responsiveness drive award decisions.
