UNSPSC 39121618: Fuse wire

UNSPSC 39121618 Fuse wire is a Commodity code describing electrical fuses and fuse assemblies that state and local governments purchase for operational, maintenance, and capital equipment needs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring specific fuse types — fast-acting fuses rated at 25 amp and 60 amp, high-amperage current-limiting fuse kits assembled with mounting hardware and compression lugs, and general fuse inventory for electrical equipment stockpiling and replacement. The issuing bodies span county governments (Dallas County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, City of Austin), and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority). The code also appears in broader electrical equipment and parts solicitations where fuses form one line item among many maintenance consumables.

Activity concentrates in Texas, where Dallas County has issued two separate fuse bids (September 2026 and August 2026), the City of Austin solicited assembled fuse kits through IFQ 1100BAS1090 (due May 5, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought miscellaneous maintenance parts including fuses for the Denton State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017729 (due September 14, 2026, with a historical 12-month spend of $100,000 across all line items). The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority bid on a 40-amp, 1000-volt Ferraz-manufactured fuse (due May 8, 2026). A cooperative purchasing RFP through Sourcewell (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment represents a multi-state initiative but does not identify fuse wire as a specific line item in available documentation. Recent opportunities reflect straightforward commodity purchasing with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination freight terms, and Net 30 payment cycles; none of the Texas solicitations disclosed set-asides or preference programs in available materials.
