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 is a Commodity code that spans electrical switching and control components. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show significant mismatch between the nominal scope and actual buying activity. The code nominally addresses proximity-based or non-mechanical switching devices, yet the recent opportunities block contains solicitations for network switches (Cisco Catalyst and Nexus models), mercury float switches, Square D contact kits, Schneider electrical components, solenoid lock switches, power converters, fuses, obstruction light assemblies, and general electrical supplies—none of which are non-contact touch switches as the code defines them. State and local procurement offices are tagging diverse electrical equipment categories under this Commodity code, suggesting either systematic miscoding or category drift across jurisdictions. The issuing bodies include city governments (Atlanta, Dallas, Charlotte, Norwalk), county authorities (Hillsborough County, Bibb County), school districts (Gordon County Schools, Northside Independent School District, Eugene School District 4J, Bibb County Public Schools), a state department (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), a transit authority (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Orange County Transportation Authority), and a purchasing cooperative (Sourcewell). Texas and Florida jurisdictions dominate recent activity, with secondary activity in Georgia, Connecticut, Oregon, and Washington state.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the code's actual usage. The City of Atlanta, Department of Aviation issued an IFB on June 30, 2026 (due August 3, 2026) for network switch replacement labor and installation services at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited bids for Schneider brand electrical components (ITB-26-00277, due June 18, 2026) valued at $519,787.19 over two years. Orange County Transportation Authority requested industrial electrical supplies (RFQ 250243, due March 30, 2026) with a $10,000 annual budget. Northside Independent School District solicited general electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (IFB2026098, due July 1, 2026). The Hillsborough County Water Resources Department sought mercury float switches (ITB-26-00138, due March 2, 2026) estimated at $60,000 over two years. The code shows active procurement but represents a catch-all category for electrical components rather than a focused commodity—vendors pursuing this code should verify exact equipment specifications in each RFP or IFB rather than relying on the code name alone.
