UNSPSC 39121641: Hook fuse

A fuse with both ends in hook shape.

UNSPSC 39121641 Hook fuse is a Commodity code covering industrial electrical fuses—specifically current-limiting and fast-acting fuses rated at various amperage levels (25 AMP, 40 AMP, 60 AMP, 200 AMP) and voltages (1000V)—that state and local governments procure as maintenance and repair components for electrical distribution systems, facility infrastructure, and fleet equipment. Recent solicitations show counties, transit authorities, school districts, and municipal utilities buying fuses as part of broader electrical equipment and parts inventory replenishment. Dallas County has posted multiple fuse solicitations in the past two months, indicating recurring small-order purchasing tied to operational needs rather than large capital projects. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission on behalf of the Denton State Supported Living Center also included fuses among 18 miscellaneous maintenance supply line items in a recent IFB, with a 12-month historical spend of $100,000 across all items combined. The scope spans both off-the-shelf commodity fuses and vendor-assembled fuse kits with mounting hardware and specialized components such as cable limiters, compression lugs, and Belleville washers; approved manufacturers include Ferraz (Shawmut-Gould), Cooper Bussman, and Reliance Electric.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Dallas County, the City of Austin, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission all posting fuse and electrical-parts solicitations since late April 2026. The City of Austin's IFQ 1100 BAS1090 (due May 5, 2026) sought 150-amp and 200-amp current-limiting fuse kits assembled to specification with delivery to a warehouse on an FOB Destination basis, targeting certified HUB and M/WBE vendors initially before broader posting. Dallas County's solicitations 2100402 (60 AMP fuses, due September 3, 2026) and 2100700 (25 AMP fuses, due September 24, 2026) were bare-bones IFB postings with minimal scope detail. The Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (due July 1, 2026) replaced an expiring contract and required all vendors—incumbent and prospective—to respond or forfeit future business. Most opportunities are short-cycle—IFBs and IFQs with response windows of 5 to 14 days—and do not disclose contract values, terms, or performance timelines beyond delivery location and FOB arrangements.
