UNSPSC 39122002: Motor control drive DC

UNSPSC 39122002 Motor control drive DC is a Commodity code that covers variable frequency drives (VFDs) and related motor control equipment procured by state and local governments for industrial, facility, and infrastructure applications. State and local agencies buy VFDs as replacement units, supply-and-install packages, and service contracts to operate and maintain motor control systems at water treatment plants, wastewater facilities, airports, municipal buildings, and other infrastructure. The work spans both equipment procurement (new drives in various horsepower ratings and voltages) and ongoing maintenance and repair services, including diagnostics, refurbishment, programming, parts supply, and emergency response. Issuing bodies include water districts and municipal utilities (Eastern Municipal Water District, City of Phoenix Water Services, Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources), county governments (Gwinnett County, Riverside County), city procurement offices (City of Tampa, City of Phoenix), and specialized authorities (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority). Water utilities dominate the recent activity, reflecting the prevalence of VFDs in pump stations, filter plants, and booster stations.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with concentration in the Southeast and Southwest. Georgia and Florida account for significant recent activity, including DeKalb County's ITB for IT infrastructure at a tennis center (posted June 9, 2026, due July 13, 2026), the City of Tampa's single-source procurements for ABB VFD products and services (March 2026), and Gwinnett County's IFB for particle counter replacement at filter plants (posted March 13, 2026, due May 8, 2026). California and Arizona also show active procurement: the Eastern Municipal Water District's RFB for three 500 HP VFDs at Palomar Booster (posted March 26, 2026, due April 30, 2026), and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's five-year IFB for VFDs from multiple manufacturers across Maricopa County (due September 15, 2025). Washington State's Department of Ecology posted two opportunities for electrical maintenance services including VFD maintenance at its Lacey headquarters (IFB 2618 ADM, due July 20, 2026). The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's RFP for VFD repair and replacement services at Orlando International Airport and subordinate GOAA facilities (RFP 26-414, due March 31, 2026) represents specialized airport infrastructure demand. Set-asides favor small businesses and veteran-owned businesses where named; prevailing wage and workers' rights certifications are required on several public-sector contracts. No single vendor dominates the recent award history, though Stan Weaver & Company appears as incumbent or exclusive distributor for ABB VFDs in multiple Tampa and Hillsborough County single-source procurements.
