UNSPSC 39121637: Arc suppressor

Devices used to extinguish electrical arcs

UNSPSC 39121637 Arc suppressor is a Commodity code that encompasses electrical protective devices and components state and local governments procure as part of broader electrical supplies, equipment, and maintenance contracts. Recent solicitations show this code tagged to electrical supplies purchasing, though the opportunities themselves span wide-ranging electrical procurement rather than arc suppressors specifically — school districts, transit authorities, and county purchasing offices are acquiring general electrical inventory (wire, conduit, lighting fixtures, control devices, distribution equipment) alongside protective components. The code appears in solicitations from Northside Independent School District seeking electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services; Pinellas County School District's comprehensive electrical supplies purchase covering 27 product categories; and Palm Beach County's pre-qualified vendor list for electrical supplies and equipment. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county governments, and special-purpose districts, with school districts appearing as repeat solicitors of electrical supplies and maintenance under this taxonomy.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Pinellas County and Palm Beach County school and county purchasing), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio), and sporadic activity elsewhere. The most recent representative opportunities are Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services with response due July 1, 2026; Pinellas County School District's sealed electronic bid for electrical supplies (approximately $950,000 annual value) due March 27, 2026, covering conduit, wire, lighting, fixtures, ballasts, and distribution equipment from manufacturers including GE, Eaton Cutler-Hammer, and Siemens; and Palm Beach County's rolling pre-qualification program (June 7, 2026 deadline) for electrical supplies and equipment vendors, with a sixty-month estimated value of four million dollars and five percent local preference for county-based vendors and certified S/M/WBE firms within ten percent of the lowest bid.
