UNSPSC 39121650: Racking-in/out device with remote control

A device that allows operators to remotely operate and withdraw circuit breakers, etc.

UNSPSC 39121650 Racking-in/out device with remote control is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity does not align with its abstract name. The code shows no meaningful procurement opportunities centered on racking-in/out devices; instead, recent solicitations tagged under it span electrical maintenance and repair services, LED lighting conversion, chemical-resistant water system components, pond improvements, and electrical switchgear repair—none of which match the equipment category the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code's scope in practice covers a broader electrical services and equipment family than the commodity name implies. State and local governments are soliciting under this code through school districts (Pinellas County School District, Parkway School District, Northside Independent School District), municipal utilities (Tucson Water, Trinity Metro, Eastern Municipal Water District), cities (Palm Bay, Santa Cruz, Bloomington, Dallas, Huntsville, Meriden, Jackson, Palo Alto, Bartow, San Antonio, Owensboro, Wichita, Boulder County), counties (Brevard, Broward, Hillsborough, Los Alamos, Portage), special districts (City Colleges of Chicago, Mt. Hood Community College), and transit authorities (Trinity Metro). No single issuing body dominates; activity is geographically dispersed across Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, Oregon, New Mexico, Connecticut, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, and other states.

Representative recent solicitations include Pinellas County School District's IFB for Electrical Maintenance Repair Services (solicitation 26CD037, bids due October 8, 2026) spanning installation and maintenance of indoor fixtures, distribution and panel boards, underground and overhead wiring, auditorium lighting, parking lot and sports field lighting, solar systems, and EV charging stations on a 24/7 emergency-response basis with an estimated contract value of approximately $400,000; Parkway School District's IFB for LED Lighting Conversion and Controls (solicitation 2750, bids due October 20, 2026); City Colleges of Chicago's Job Order Contract for Electrical Low Voltage (solicitation MWJ2606, bids due October 21, 2026) covering IT/AV systems, low voltage installations, security products, access control, and CCTV across district facilities, with MBE and WBE goals of 25% and 7% and a maximum contract value of $5 million over 60 months; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for pump station control panels and other enclosures (solicitation ITB-26-00393, bids due September 29, 2026) on a $3.66 million estimated contract for UL 508A-certified fabrication and delivery of custom motor control centers. The geographic spread spans utility, municipal, school, and county procurement across multiple states, with concentration in Florida, Texas, and California where recent post dates cluster in August and September 2026.
