UNSPSC 39121611: Ceramic fuses

UNSPSC 39121611 Ceramic fuses is a Commodity code covering the supply of fuses—primarily current-limiting and fast-response fuses in various amperage ratings—to state and local government buyers. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies purchasing individual fuses and pre-assembled fuse kits for electrical infrastructure and equipment maintenance. The buyers span county governments, school districts, transit authorities, and municipal utilities; Dallas County appears as a repeat buyer with multiple fuse solicitations since late August 2026, while the City of Austin, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Northside Independent School District, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) have also posted opportunities in the past six months. The scope typically includes fast-response (FRSR) fuses, current-limiting fuse kits with URD tap and mounting hardware, and component materials such as compression lugs, zinc-plated hardware, and Belleville washers, with approved manufacturers including Cooper Bussman, Reliance Electric, and Ferraz (Shawmut-Gould).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with Dallas County, DART, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, the City of Austin, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting opportunities between late April and late September 2026. Representative solicitations include Dallas County's IFB for FUSE FRSR 25 AMP (ref 2100700, due September 24, 2026) and FUSE FRSR 60 AMP (ref 2100402, due September 3, 2026); the City of Austin's IFQ 1100BAS1090 for current-limiting fuse kits with URD tap and mounting hardware (due May 5, 2026); DART's purchase order for a 40-amp, 1000-volt Ferraz fuse (due May 8, 2026, FOB Destination with Net 30 payment terms); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017729 for miscellaneous parts supplies including fuses on behalf of the Denton State Supported Living Center (due September 14, 2026, with a 12-month historical spend of $100,000.00 as a guideline). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, posted an RFP for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) that may include fuses as part of broader electrical supplies to multiple jurisdictions across the Pacific Northwest and beyond, though the specific commodity mix is not detailed in the posting.
