UNSPSC 39121634: Surge arrestor

Devices that are used to protect the transmission system from high voltage surges. They act as safety valves to limit high voltage surges by reducing voltage to values that will not damage equipment. Protect against lightening damage.

UNSPSC 39121634 Surge arrestor is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers a narrower scope than the code name alone suggests. Recent solicitations tagged under this code include general electrical supplies, equipment, and parts procurements—conduit, wire, cable, lighting fixtures, controls, distribution equipment, and related hardware—rather than surge arrestors specifically. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Northside Independent School District (Texas) and Pinellas County School District (Florida) both soliciting comprehensive electrical supplies through sealed-bid processes. A Palm Beach County, Florida pre-qualification process for electrical supplies and equipment vendors also falls under this code. These jurisdictions treat electrical supplies as standing or frame contracts, with school districts seeking to replace expiring agreements and establish ongoing vendor pools rather than one-time procurements.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with secondary representation in Wisconsin and North Carolina. The Northside Independent School District IFB 2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services carried a due date of July 1, 2026, and explicitly required incumbent vendors to re-bid or lose continuation rights. Pinellas County School District's sealed electronic bid solicitation for electrical supplies (26AM008) had a due date of March 27, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $950,000 and a one-year initial term renewable for two additional years. Palm Beach County's rolling pre-qualification (RPQ 21-028/KP) closes June 7, 2026, with an anticipated sixty-month term value of four million dollars across participating entities. These school district and county procurements typically include delivery requirements, manufacturer specifications, and insurance and compliance documentation, with local vendor preferences applied in Florida jurisdictions. The code shows consistent activity among public education and county infrastructure buyers seeking reliable electrical supplies on contract.
