UNSPSC 39121552: Electrical control modules

UNSPSC 39121552 Electrical control modules (Commodity) covers the replacement, installation, integration, and commissioning of control systems and electrical switching equipment at water treatment facilities, municipal water districts, wastewater reclamation plants, transit systems, and airports. State and local procurement under this code reflects deep technical work—motor control center replacement with 480-volt switchgear, medium voltage soft starter installation at booster stations, programmable logic controller replacement on SCADA systems, and network switch upgrades—rather than simple component procurement. Issuing bodies include municipal water and wastewater utilities (West Basin Municipal Water District, Eastern Municipal Water District, Orange County Utilities), cities (Phoenix, Santa Fe, Charlotte), counties (Hillsborough, Monroe, Bibb), and school districts (Northside Independent School District, Bibb County Public Schools), with water and wastewater facilities accounting for the plurality of recent activity.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in California, Florida, and the Upper Midwest. West Basin Municipal Water District solicited an RFB for TRWRP 93 Motor Control Center Replacement (480-volt MCC2 demolition, procurement, and installation with grounding and testing) with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 12, 2026, and electronic bids due March 31, 2026.
