UNSPSC 39121522: Electrical contacts

UNSPSC 39121522 Electrical contacts is a Commodity code covering electrical switching and control components—specifically motor control centers, soft-start units, control panels, subpanels, and associated electrical enclosures—that state and local utilities, water districts, and facility managers procure for pump stations, lift stations, and water treatment operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing replacement motor control centers (MCCs) with integrated breakers, starters, and control wiring; pump station control panels fabricated to National Electrical Code and NFPA 70 standards; electrical subpanels for multifamily housing renovation; and soft-start replacement parts and services. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal utilities and water districts (City of Tampa Wastewater Department, City of Orlando, Hillsborough County, West Basin Municipal Water District, City of Santa Fe Buckman Direct Diversion), a county government (Bay County), a county water authority (Riverside County), a state environmental agency (Maryland Environmental Service), an affordable-housing nonprofit (Alameda Affordable Housing Corporation), and a school district (Northside Independent School District). Most recent activity centers on water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades rather than general electrical supply.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida and California, with recent competitive sealed bids and RFPs posted by Hillsborough County (pump station control panels, $3.66 million over two years, ITB-26-00393, bids due September 29, 2026), West Basin Municipal Water District in Torrance, California (motor control center replacement, Request for Bids, bids due March 31, 2026), and the Alameda Affordable Housing Corporation in California (74 subpanels at Esperanza Apartments, RFQ with mandatory bid walk August 11, 2026, submissions due September 10, 2026). Additional activity includes the City of Tampa's single-source Intent to Bid for Solcon Soft-Start products (due October 2, 2026), the City of Santa Fe's PLC and SCADA replacement project (RFP FY26-RFP-036, submissions due December 18, 2025), and Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, and repairs (due July 1, 2026). Maryland Environmental Service issued a competitive sealed bid for electrical system upgrades at Janes Island State Park with a 15% MBE participation goal (bids due August 7, 2026). Sourcewell issued a cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and broader state and local participation (proposals due June 16, 2026).
