UNSPSC 39121618: Fuse wire

UNSPSC 39121618 Fuse wire (Commodity) covers electrical fuses and fuse assemblies that state and local governments procure for facilities, transit systems, and utility infrastructure—including current-limiting fuse kits rated for specific amperage and voltage, small package fuses (such as 3-amp ATC automotive fuses), and assembled fuse kits with mounting hardware and compression lugs. Issuing bodies range across school districts, municipal utilities, transit authorities, and city public works departments. The code sees activity from independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio; Pinellas County Schools, Florida), municipal utilities and public works departments (City of Austin, City of Phoenix), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and county jurisdictions participating in cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County, Washington).

Recent solicitations cluster in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Washington and Minnesota through cooperative arrangements. Representative recent opportunities include the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's IFB 2099023, posted April 30, 2026, seeking a Ferraz Shawmut-Gould 40-amp, 1000-volt fuse with bids due May 8, 2026; the City of Austin's IFQ 1100 BAS1090, posted April 29, 2026, for 150-amp and 200-amp current-limiting fuse kits with mounting hardware and URD tap applications, quotes due May 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM; and the Pinellas County School District's sealed electronic bid for electrical supplies (including fuses as one of 27 product categories), posted March 30, 2026, with bids due March 27, 2026. The City of Austin initiatives and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority both emphasize FOB Destination shipping with freight included, commercial warranties, and strict delivery schedules. School district and municipal procurements often accept current products from qualified manufacturers (Cooper Bussman, Reliance Electric, and Ferraz models specified in recent Texas solicitations) and occasionally reserve initial opportunities for certified HUBS or M/WBE vendors before opening to the broader market.
