UNSPSC 39121616: Molded case circuit breakers

UNSPSC 39121616 Molded case circuit breakers (Commodity) represents individual electrical distribution protective devices that state and local governments procure as inventory stock, replacement components within larger electrical infrastructure projects, and standalone equipment upgrades. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing molded case circuit breakers as part of comprehensive electrical supply contracts, emergency replacements at correctional facilities and utility operations, water treatment and wastewater system control panels, and routine maintenance restocking for school districts and county departments. The code draws activity from a diverse issuing-body mix including corrections departments, utilities, school districts, county purchasing offices, city public works departments, and special-purpose authorities. Universities, state parks, and air national guard facilities also source under this code when upgrading or replacing electrical infrastructure.

Geographic distribution spans Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and other jurisdictions, with no single state dominating recent opportunities. Representative recent procurements include the Illinois Department of Corrections emergency replacement of a damaged 1600 AMP air circuit breaker (Westinghouse Type DB50) at Dixon Correctional Center (small purchase with emergency conditions, July 16, 2026 response date, not-to-exceed $26,520); Hillsborough County, Florida's inventory procurement for motor circuit protectors and related electrical distribution components with a Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside (bids due July 28, 2026); Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (bids due July 1, 2026); and Broward County's open-end indefinite-quantity contract for fabrication and refurbishment of FEMA-compliant water and wastewater control panels requiring minimum three years' experience and 24/7 emergency response availability (bids due June 26, 2026, with estimated annual pass-through allowances of $38,000). Activity remains steady across municipal infrastructure upgrades, school district supply chains, utility operations, and emergency facility repairs, with pricing typically embedded within larger project bids or framework supply agreements rather than standalone commodity procurements.
