UNSPSC 39121901: Circuit breaker lockout

UNSPSC 39121901 Circuit breaker lockout is a Commodity code encompassing generator breakers, soft starters, and related medium-voltage electrical control and switching equipment that state and local governments procure for water utilities, municipal facilities, and infrastructure modernization. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing direct replacements for aging generator breakers rated in the 5,000-ampere and 2,400-volt range; medium-voltage soft starter units with comprehensive installation and commissioning; motor control center replacements; and switchgear upgrades tied to generator integration projects. The work spans both capital replacement at single facilities and framework agreements for broader purchasing access. Water utilities dominate the issuing-body mix, including Gainesville Regional Utilities (Florida), Eastern Municipal Water District (California), and Orange County (Florida), with additional activity from special-purpose districts and municipal water departments. School districts and county facilities management departments also use the code for electrical infrastructure upgrades, though less frequently than water utilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, driven by large-scale water utility modernization projects at reclamation and treatment facilities. Representative recent opportunities include Gainesville Regional Utilities' RFP 2026-077 for a direct replacement 5,000-ampere, 13.8 kV GE Magneblast Generator Breaker with responses due June 26, 2026, requiring onsite commissioning and a one-year warranty; Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP RFPAR3928 for a 2,400-volt medium-voltage soft starter unit, installation, and training at the Auld Road Booster Station, with proposals due May 9, 2026; and Orange County's IFB Y26-604 for electrical and mechanical upgrades at the Eastern Water Reclamation Facility, including 15 kV switchgear modifications and generator system replacements, with sealed offers due April 30, 2026. West Basin Municipal Water District's RFBTH0120 for the TRWRP 93 Motor Control Center Replacement (280-day completion window) and the City of Santa Fe's RFP FY26-RFP-036 for PLC replacement and SCADA modifications also reflect sustained demand. These buyers typically require five-year warranties, integration with existing Schneider Electric or similar systems, comprehensive insurance, and prevailing-wage compliance on public works projects. Activity is concentrated among regional and state water authorities rather than spread across dozens of issuing bodies.
