UNSPSC 39121636: Current limiter

Device that regulates the amount of current that will pass through equipment to protect against damage to that equipment

UNSPSC 39121636 Current limiter is a Commodity code encompassing electrical protection devices and components that state and local governments procure as part of broader electrical equipment, supplies, and systems maintenance programs. Recent solicitations show the code operating within larger electrical supplies and equipment buys — school districts, county governments, and municipal utilities solicit current limiters alongside conduit, wire, fixtures, controls, and distribution equipment from manufacturers such as GE, Eaton, and Siemens. The work does not involve design or installation of electrical systems; rather, it centers on the procurement of component parts, replacement equipment, and repair materials that maintenance departments and facilities teams stock and deploy to keep electrical infrastructure operational across buildings, transit systems, and utility installations.

Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Pinellas County School District in Florida), county governments (Palm Beach County, Florida), municipalities (City of Madison, City of Charlotte), and regional transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and the broader Southeast, with cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell extending reach across multiple states and jurisdictions. Representative solicitations include Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (due July 1, 2026), Pinellas County School District's sealed electronic bid for 27 categories of electrical supplies with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $950,000 (due March 27, 2026), and Palm Beach County's rolling pre-qualification process for electrical supplies and equipment vendors (due June 7, 2026, with an anticipated sixty-month contract value of four million dollars). These opportunities reflect steady demand for current limiters and related protective devices as routine procurement within facilities maintenance and utility operations across school districts and local government agencies.
