UNSPSC 39121500: Electrical controls and accessories

Electrical devices for regulating flow of electrical energy

UNSPSC 39121500 Electrical controls and accessories, a Class code, encompasses the supply and installation of control system components—switches, panels, floats, transducers, and related equipment—that state and local governments procure for water systems, transit authority operations, facility upgrades, and critical infrastructure. Recent solicitations show these entities buying lift station control systems, SCADA panel upgrades, network switch installations, electrical connectors and components, and specialized controls for wastewater treatment facilities, with work ranging from simple parts supply to integrated system replacements requiring field installation, testing, and commissioning.

Issuing bodies across the code include independent water authorities (Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Florida), county governments (Hillsborough County Water Resources Department, Orange County Public Works), school districts (Bibb County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District, Gordon County School System), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Orange County Transportation Authority), cities (Atlanta Department of Aviation, City of Dallas, City of Charlotte, City of Torrington), state agencies (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Massachusetts), and special districts. Water utilities and transportation authorities emerge as repeat buyers. Geographic spread centers on Florida (Tohopekaliga Water Authority, Hillsborough County, Orange County), Texas (DART, Northside ISD, Dallas), Georgia (Gordon County Schools, Bibb County Schools), with activity also in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Utah, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Tohopekaliga Water Authority issuing IFB26027 (lift station control panels, floats, transducers, due July 16, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing ITB-26-00277 (Schneider electrical components for SCADA control panels, estimated value $519,787.19, due June 18, 2026), and City of Torrington issuing EST014062326 (electrical services and repairs on an as-needed basis, due June 23, 2026). Other solicitations target switches for pump operations (ITB-26-00138, mercury float switches, estimated $60,000 over two years), network infrastructure (Gordon County Schools RFP for fiber and core switches funded through E-Rate, due March 16, 2026), and specialized components like 23KV distribution reclosers (Massachusetts Bid #26-05, due March 17, 2026) and SCADA upgrades (Massachusetts wastewater SCADA replacement, due April 23, 2026).
