UNSPSC 39121570: Recloser

Switches that will automatically open to break a circuit if they detect electrical problems, and then attempt to close the circuit at timed intervals.

UNSPSC 39121570 Recloser (Commodity) covers electrical switching equipment and related installation services that state and local governments procure for infrastructure upgrades, facility maintenance, and operational support. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring network switches, electrical contact kits, solenoid lock switches, and float switches—often bundled with labor for removal, installation, testing, and integration into existing systems. The code spans water utilities managing pump operations, transit authorities upgrading SCADA controls and network infrastructure, school districts installing intercom and network equipment, corrections departments maintaining electrical systems, and county water resources departments procuring control components.

Activity appears across multiple issuing-body types with no single dominant buyer. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has posted multiple switch-related ITBs (mercury float switches, Square D contact kits, Schneider electrical components) over recent months, signaling sustained procurement demand from county utilities. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority has issued multiple RFQs for electrical components including solenoid switches and power converters with narrow four- to six-day response windows. Other recent solicitations include the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation's IFB for network switch replacement (due August 3, 2026), Texas Department of Criminal Justice's open solicitation for electrical switches (due April 29, 2026), Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, and supplies (due July 1, 2026), and Bibb County Public Schools' E-Rate-funded RFP for network switch upgrades (due March 2, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with additional opportunities in Connecticut, Minnesota, and Oregon. Most solicitations are ITBs or RFQs with fixed-price evaluation focused on brand compliance, delivery capability, and unit pricing; E-Rate-funded school procurements emphasize vendor compliance and technical expertise. Contract values range from $60,000 over two years (Hillsborough County mercury floats) to $519,787.19 over two years (Hillsborough County Schneider components), with established vendors required to maintain authorized distributor status and meet delivery windows of 15 to 30 days.
