UNSPSC 39121615: Air circuit breakers

UNSPSC 39121615 Air circuit breakers, a Commodity code, covers the supply and installation of circuit breaker equipment that state and local governments deploy across utility, water and wastewater, correctional, and educational facilities. Recent solicitations show procurement spanning both replacement of existing breakers in energized substations and new breaker installations as part of broader electrical infrastructure upgrades, with issuing bodies ranging from municipal utilities and county water authorities to state correctional departments and university facilities.

The issuing-body mix reflects utility and infrastructure operations: the Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida procured 15 kV circuit breaker replacement at the Marydia Substation under an IFB posted October 19, 2026, with sealed bids due November 15, 2016, and two vendors submitting lump-sum bids between $74,710 and $77,500; Lubbock Power & Light (a municipal utility in Texas) requested three 15 kV outdoor vacuum circuit breakers under RFP #7137-26-ELD with proposals due September 24, 2026; the Illinois Department of Corrections procured emergency replacement of a 1600 AMP air circuit breaker at Dixon Correctional Center under small purchase with emergency conditions, with proposals due July 16, 2026 and a not-to-exceed amount of $26,520; and Fairfax County, Virginia, established a five-year term contract for switchgear testing and preventative maintenance services supporting wastewater facilities across eight county locations, with sealed bids due June 9, 2026. School districts, county water authorities, state agencies, and municipal utilities dominate recent activity. Geographic concentration appears in Florida (Kissimmee, Broward County), Texas (Lubbock), Virginia (Fairfax County), Illinois (Dixon), and Georgia (Lavonia water treatment), with scattered activity across the Midwest and South. The code reflects both commodity procurement (breaker units and components) and integrated installation and testing services within electrical system modernization projects.
