UNSPSC 39121613: Grounding devices or assemblies

UNSPSC 39121613 Grounding devices or assemblies is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure grounding devices and assemblies primarily as components in electrical infrastructure projects, including grounding rods, anchor rods with grounding functions, grounding resistors, and integrated grounding systems for utility and facility protection. Recent opportunities show these items sourced both as standalone equipment purchases and as integrated subsystems within larger electrical and lightning protection construction projects. Lubbock Power & Light issued a quote request in July 2026 for anchor rods with specific tensile-strength ratings and corrosion protection alongside copper cable, while the City of Tampa specified neutral grounding resistors and comprehensive grounding system design as part of a lightning protection installation at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy Facility (ITB 26P00192, due April 24, 2026), and Orange County, Florida solicited grounding system upgrades and replacements as components of broader electrical and mechanical facility upgrades (IFB Y26-604, due April 30, 2026). Issuing bodies include municipal utilities, county governments, special-purpose districts, and independent school districts, with repeat activity from Florida jurisdictions and Texas municipal utilities.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in Texas and Florida. Lubbock Power & Light (Texas), Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (Texas IFB 2025-100 replacement, due July 1, 2026), Orange County (Florida), the City of Tampa (Florida), and Brevard County (Florida) represent the primary recent buyers. Geographic spread extends to Georgia (Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority) and includes cooperative purchasing frameworks like Sourcewell (Minnesota-based cooperative procuring law enforcement equipment with participation spanning Washington state counties, Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, with nationwide and Canadian reach). Grounding devices and assemblies compete within broader electrical equipment and construction service categories; the code itself sees modest standalone volume but appears regularly as a component specification within utility infrastructure, facility protection, and electrical upgrade projects where grounding compliance with NFPA 780, UL 96A, and local electrical codes drives procurement.
