UNSPSC 39121626: Medium voltage fuse

UNSPSC 39121626 Medium voltage fuse is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of electrical protective devices rated for medium voltage distribution and industrial applications. Recent solicitations show governments buying fuses across a spectrum of voltage and amperage ratings — including 40-amp 1000V fuses, 3-amp ATC fuses, and assembled fuse kits with mounting hardware and cable limiters rated for underground residential distribution (URD) tap applications. School districts, municipal utilities, and transit authorities are the primary buyers. Pinellas County School District, City of Austin, and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) each posted fuse procurement notices in the past four months. The scope extends beyond individual fuses to vendor-assembled kits with specified materials (aluminum compression lugs, zinc-plated hardware, stainless steel washers) and approved manufacturers such as Cooper Bussman, Reliance Electric, and Ferraz. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Pinellas County in Florida), cities and their utilities (Austin, Phoenix), and regional transit authorities (DART in Dallas). The City of Austin actively procures fuse assemblies and kits through multiple IFQs targeting HUBS and M/WBE vendors initially, with broader posting if adequate quotes are not received from certified contractors.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority has posted two separate fuse solicitations in the past six months (IFB for a 40-amp 1000V Ferraz fuse due May 8, 2026, and an ITB for 3-amp ATC fuses due February 19, 2026). City of Austin issued back-to-back IFQs for fuse kits in April 2026 (IFQ 1100 BAS1089 due May 5, and IFQ 1100 BAS1090 also due May 5). Pinellas County School District in Florida posted a comprehensive electrical supplies solicitation (26AM008) on March 30, 2026 with fuses as one of 27 product categories; bids closed March 27, 2026, with board approval estimated for May 19, 2026 and an estimated annual contract value of $950,000. Northside ISD in San Antonio solicited electrical equipment, parts, and supplies (IFB 2026098) with fuses as a component, due July 1, 2026. The City of Phoenix issued a broader three-year electrical parts and supplies IFB (26-FMD-012) with a July 9, 2025 due date requiring local stocking distributors and single-percentage-discount bidding. Pricing on individual fuse purchases is driven by competitive quote or sealed-bid processes; no specific contract values are disclosed for fuse-only solicitations, though volume is typically measured in boxes of 20–50 units for assembled kits and packages of 5 for standard fuses.
