UNSPSC 39121328: Fire rated poke through box

UNSPSC 39121328 Fire rated poke through box is a Commodity code that covers electrical penetration enclosures and fire-rated cable or conduit routing boxes installed in floor slabs, walls, and other fire-rated building assemblies to maintain fire integrity while allowing service runs to pass through. Recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a much broader scope of electrical equipment, switchgear, control panels, and power distribution work. The issuing bodies span utility authorities, county governments, school districts, universities, and municipal agencies across multiple states. Work being solicited includes pump station control panels with complex electrical configurations, outdoor circuit breakers rated for high voltage, motor circuit protectors and electrical distribution components, switchgear testing and preventative maintenance, control panel fabrication and refurbishment for water and wastewater systems, and emergency electrical services such as breaker replacement at correctional facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for pump station control panels and other enclosures (a $3.66 million two-year contract requiring UL 508A certification, with ten bidders submitting proposals ranging from $2.5 million to over $5.1 million), Broward County's open-end procurement for fabrication and refurbishment of water and wastewater control panels with $80,000 in annual pass-through allowances, Fairfax County's five-year term contract for switchgear testing and preventative maintenance across wastewater treatment and pump stations, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's bid for an electrical switchboard system for the Estelle Unit correctional facility.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Hillsborough County, Broward County, Kissimmee Utility Authority), Texas (Lubbock Power & Light, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Michigan (City of Jackson), with activity also reported in Illinois, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Mississippi. The Kissimmee Utility Authority issued IFB #17-003-CV for circuit breaker replacement at Marydia Substation with two bidders competing on lump-sum pricing (Terry's Electric at $74,710.27 and Engineering Enterprises at $77,500.00). Pinellas County School District issued ITB #26-AM-008 for electrical supplies across 27 categories with a contract valued at approximately $950,000 annually, while Lubbock Power & Light issued RFP #7137-26-ELD for three outdoor vacuum circuit breakers rated 15kV with delivery by March 21, 2027. Illinois Department of Corrections issued a small purchase with emergency conditions for 1600 AMP breaker replacement at Dixon Correctional Center with a contract not-to-exceed $26,520. University of Mississippi issued multiple sealed bids for 161/46/13 kV three-winding power transformers (material only). The code shows sustained activity across utility operations, wastewater infrastructure, corrections facilities, and educational institutions, with pricing discipline enforced through sealed competitive bidding and term contracts supporting ongoing maintenance and capital equipment needs.
