UNSPSC 39121616: Molded case circuit breakers

UNSPSC 39121616 Molded case circuit breakers (Commodity) encompasses replacement, installation, and emergency repair of medium-voltage circuit breakers rated 15 kV and above, as well as low-voltage protective devices in utility, municipal water and wastewater, correctional, and educational settings. State and local governments procure these under the code when replacing aging oil and vacuum circuit breakers at substations, upgrading electrical distribution systems at treatment plants and pump stations, and responding to emergency equipment failures at public facilities. Issuing bodies include utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida), county governments and their departments (Hillsborough County, Fairfax County), municipalities and their utilities (Lubbock Power & Light, City of Ocala), state corrections departments, and higher-education institutions (University of Mississippi). Recent opportunities show both straightforward equipment procurement and integrated service contracts combining supply, installation, testing, and maintenance.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Kissimmee, Hillsborough County, Broward County, City of Ocala) and Texas (Lubbock Power & Light, Estelle Unit correctional facility), with secondary activity in Mississippi, Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include the Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for replacement of three 15 kV circuit breakers at Marydia Substation (response due November 15, 2016, awarded to Terry's Electric, Inc. at $74,710.27); Lubbock Power & Light's RFP #7137-26-ELD for three 15 kV, 2000-ampere outdoor vacuum circuit breakers with protective relays (proposals due September 24, 2026); Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00393 for pump station control panels and enclosures (estimated $3.66 million over two years, bids due September 29, 2026, with ten vendors competing); and Fairfax County's IFB 2000004382 for a five-year switchgear testing and preventative maintenance contract covering eight facilities (bids due June 9, 2026). Opportunities range from single-unit emergency replacements (Illinois Department of Corrections, $26,520 maximum) to ongoing supply or service agreements with estimated annual values exceeding $3.6 million.
