UNSPSC 39121500: Electrical controls and accessories

Electrical devices for regulating flow of electrical energy

UNSPSC 39121500 Electrical controls and accessories is a Class code encompassing discrete electrical components and assemblies that state and local governments procure for transit operations, facility maintenance, water infrastructure, and law enforcement equipment support. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing dual fixture light assemblies, receptacle/switch covers, power converters, solenoid lock switches, fuses, subpanels, lift station control panels, floats, transducers, network switches, industrial electrical supplies, connectors, and standardized Schneider Electric SCADA components. Transit authorities, water management districts, county sheriffs' offices, cities, school districts, and independent special districts constitute the issuing-body mix, with Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple recent procurements. The procurement vehicles span IFBs, RFQs, and ITBs, with DART consistently using BONFIRE portals for bidding access and emphasizing FOB Destination terms, Net 30 payment, and strict delivery timelines as material contract requirements.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and California. DART in Dallas County, Texas has posted at least four recent component solicitations in the past six months—dual fixture light assemblies (October 20, 2026), receptacle/switch covers (October 20, 2026), power converters (October 16, 2026), and 10A traction power fuses (September 21, 2026). Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Polk County, Florida has solicited lift station control panels, floats, transducers, and ancillary equipment across multiple IFBs in summer 2026. Hillsborough County, Florida competitively bid $519,787.19 in Schneider brand electrical components for a two-year term (June 2026). The County of Orange, California Sheriff-Coroner procured 144 line items of connectors and miscellaneous parts; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas sought electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services; and the St. Johns River Water Management District in Florida issued a $135,000 three-year electrical services contract. Geographic spread beyond these three states includes Connecticut (City of Torrington), Georgia (City of Atlanta), Utah (Herriman City), and multi-state cooperative vehicle activity through Sourcewell. Delivery requirements are consistently stringent—DART mandates FOB Destination with freight included and penalizes late delivery with default termination; Orange County specifies four-day delivery windows; and Chatham County Sheriff's Office requires factory-sealed, new Cisco equipment only, restricting bidding to authorized distributors.
