UNSPSC 39121571: Non-contact touch switch

A product that can be operated like a touch from a distance by recognizing the pointing position and motion without directly touching it.

UNSPSC 39121571 Non-contact touch switch (Commodity) addresses electrical switching components and control devices that state and local governments procure for transit, facilities, and infrastructure maintenance. The recent solicitation record shows activity driven by transit authorities and county/municipal operations sourcing discrete electrical parts—covers, fixtures, fuses, converters, and specialized switches—for ongoing repair, replacement, and emergency response across stations, maintenance shops, parking facilities, and administrative buildings. Issuing bodies include Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART), transit authorities in Tarrant and Orange counties, county sheriff and criminal justice facilities, independent school districts, and county transportation departments. Work is predominantly transactional: single-item or small-lot RFQs and IFBs with tight turnaround, paired with longer-term IDIQ and standing-supply arrangements. Vendors must meet strict FOB Destination freight terms, Net 30 payment cycles, firm fixed pricing, and delivery schedules where timing failures trigger default termination.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with DART issuing multiple solicitations in rapid succession (October 2026: dual fixture light assembly, receptacle-switch covers, power converters, solenoid lock switches; May–September: traction power fuses). Trinity Metro (Tarrant County, RFQ IFB26T035, August 2026) established an IDIQ for ongoing electrical materials; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, IFB2026098, July 2026) solicited electrical equipment and repair services; Hillsborough County (ITB2600277, June 2026) bid $519,787.19 over two years for authorized Schneider components; Orange County Transportation Authority (RFQ 250243, March 2026) budgeted $10,000 annually for industrial electrical supplies. A Chatham County Sheriff's Office procurement (October 2026) and a City of Atlanta airport network-switch upgrade (August 2026) illustrate broader municipal and county facility needs. Sourcewell's cooperative law-enforcement-equipment RFP (061626, June 2026) signals multi-state public-entity bundling potential. Texas dominates the record; activity also visible in Florida, Georgia, and Washington state cooperative channels. Response dates cluster tightly (often one to two weeks from posting); many DART solicitations require BONFIRE portal registration and direct vendor bidding with no pre-bid or evaluation detail disclosed.
