UNSPSC 39121622: Automotive fuse

UNSPSC 39121622 Automotive fuse, a Commodity code, covers electrical fuses and related fuse assembly kits that state and local governments procure for vehicle fleets, transit systems, facility electrical infrastructure, and emergency equipment. State and local buyers under this code range from school districts and municipal public works departments to transit authorities and county purchasing offices. The work solicited includes both individual replacement fuses of specified amperage and voltage ratings and assembled fuse kits with mounting hardware, cable limiters, compression lugs, and hardware conforming to specific standards and approved-manufacturer lists. Vendors typically supply these components on an FOB Destination basis with freight included in pricing and must meet delivery commitments within specified timeframes; failure to deliver on schedule can result in contract termination or rejection.

Recent activity shows steady procurement across Texas and Florida jurisdictions. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) posted multiple fuse procurements in early 2026, including bids for 40-amp, 1000-volt Ferraz fuses (IFB 2099023, due May 8, 2026) and 3-amp ATC fuses in five-packs (reference 2096850MDMP, due February 19, 2026), both requiring FOB Destination delivery and Net 30 payment terms. The City of Austin Purchasing Office issued two Invitations for Quotation for current-limiting fuse kits in April 2026 (IFQs 1100 BAS1089 and 1100 BAS1090, both due May 5, 2026), specifying vendor-assembled 150-amp and 200-amp URD tap kits from Cooper Bussman or Reliance Electric. The Pinellas County School District included fuses among 27 electrical supply categories in a March 2026 sealed electronic bid (26AM008) with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $950,000. The Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) issued a broad electrical equipment IFB (IFB2026098, due July 1, 2026) that encompasses fuses alongside other electrical parts and supplies. Most opportunities require sealed bids or quotations through electronic portals (Bonfire, OpenGov, or agency-specific systems) and target responses within two to four weeks of posting.
