UNSPSC 39121310: Utility boxes

UNSPSC 39121310 Utility boxes, a Commodity code, is rarely reflected in actual state and local purchasing activity. Recent solicitations tagged with this code involve electrical equipment, control panels, circuit breakers, and protective devices that sit outside the scope of utility boxes as traditionally understood—freestanding or wall-mounted enclosures for housing utility connections or infrastructure. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity; issuing bodies across school districts, utilities, counties, and state departments are procuring electrical service cabinets, control panels for water systems, breaker replacements, RV power pedestals, and switchgear testing rather than utility boxes per se.

Across the recent opportunities, issuing bodies span wide geographic distribution and organizational types: the Illinois Department of Corrections, Fairfax County Virginia, Broward County Florida, City of Jackson Michigan, Portage County Wisconsin, City of Charlotte North Carolina, Franklin County Georgia, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, City of Phoenix, and Northside Independent School District San Antonio represent a cross-section of state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities. No single jurisdiction appears as a standout repeat buyer under this code. Activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin, with scattered solicitations in Oregon, California, and Minnesota. Representative recent work includes Fairfax County's June 2026 IFB for switchgear testing and preventative maintenance (five-year term contract, sealed bids due June 9, 2026); Broward County's May 2026 open-end indefinite-quantity procurement for fabrication and refurbishment of FEMA-compliant water and wastewater control panels (responses due June 22 or 26, 2026); the Maryland Administrative Office of the Courts' March 2026 RFP to establish master contractor pools for electrical services across four service regions (proposals due April 17, 2026); and City of Jackson Michigan's July 2026 sealed-bid solicitation for electrical-to-code upgrades at residential properties funded through CDBG (due July 8, 2026). The code taxonomy mismatch signals that pursuit decisions should pivot to the actual work being bought—electrical infrastructure services and equipment—rather than literal utility boxes.
