UNSPSC 39121610: Surge suppressers

UNSPSC 39121610 Surge suppressers is a Commodity code that encompasses electrical surge protection devices and related components purchased by state and local governments for facility, infrastructure, and equipment protection. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local buyers are acquiring surge suppressers as part of broader electrical supplies and equipment procurement — not as standalone specialty items, but bundled within comprehensive electrical inventories for schools, transit systems, municipalities, and county facilities. School districts and county governments are the primary issuing bodies, supplemented by municipal engineering departments and state agencies like the Railroad Commission of Texas. The work involves supplying surge protection equipment alongside conduit, wiring, lighting fixtures, control devices, and related electrical infrastructure components to support maintenance operations, capital projects, and system upgrades across multiple facility types.

Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued IFB 2026098 on June 8, 2026, seeking sealed bids for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with a response deadline of July 1, 2026; Pinellas County School District (Florida) posted a parallel electrical supplies solicitation (RFQ 26AM008) on March 30, 2026, estimating annual contract value at approximately $950,000 and establishing a sixty-month pre-qualified vendor list; and Palm Beach County, Florida opened a pre-qualification process (RPQ 21-028/KP) on January 23, 2026, for electrical supplies and equipment from over 110 specified manufacturers, with an anticipated five-year contract value of four million dollars. Activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas school districts and county procurement offices, with sporadic participation from municipal engineering departments. No federal set-asides are named in the recent opportunities; however, Florida jurisdictions apply local and small-business preferences ranging from five to ten percent. Response deadlines and contract terms vary widely — school district solicitations typically run twelve months with optional renewals, while pre-qualification vehicles establish longer standing-offer arrangements. The code shows consistent activity but no dominant repeat buyer or geographic concentration beyond the school-district and county-level segments in the South and Southwest.
