UNSPSC 39121602: Magnetic circuit breakers

UNSPSC 39121602 Magnetic circuit breakers (Commodity) covers replacement and installation of circuit breakers and related electrical protective devices at state and local facilities, with recent activity dominated by emergency repairs, infrastructure upgrades, and routine procurement of inventory stock. State and local governments soliciting under this code include correctional departments, universities, county utilities, cities, and school districts. The Illinois Department of Corrections is procuring emergency replacement of a 1600 AMP air circuit breaker at Dixon Correctional Center under small purchase with emergency conditions (due July 16, 2026), while Hillsborough County, Florida is sourcing motor circuit protectors for departmental use with a small local business enterprise set-aside carrying a response date of July 28, 2026. Geographic spread is concentrated in Florida, Illinois, Michigan, and Texas, with additional activity in Georgia, Oregon, and other states. Higher-volume, recurring activity appears in Florida and Texas, driven by utility authorities, county governments, and school districts managing aging electrical infrastructure and water treatment facilities.

Recent opportunities reveal a market spanning discrete component procurement through integrated electrical system upgrades. Northside Independent School District issued an IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services (due July 1, 2026), replacing an expiring contract with a requirement that all vendors respond to maintain future business. Broader infrastructure work appears in Broward County's two related solicitations for fabrication and refurbishment of water and wastewater control panels—both open-end, indefinite-quantity contracts requiring 24/7 emergency response capability, compliance with FEMA standards, and at least seventy-five percent in-house performance (due June 26 and June 22, 2026). Fairfax County, Virginia's IFB for switchgear testing and preventative maintenance on a five-year term (due June 9, 2026) reflects demand for specialized technical services on medium and high voltage systems. Smaller, discrete replacements such as Brevard County's electrical panel replacement at Lift Station #24 (due February 27, 2026) and the City of Austin's competitive procurement of CM52 network protectors and related protective devices (due March 10, 2026) round out the market. Set-asides and preferences are present but not universal; local business enterprise certifications and small business preferences appear in Florida and Texas solicitations, while federal compliance and prevailing wage requirements drive several others.
