UNSPSC 39122212: Slide switch

UNSPSC 39122212 Slide switch is a Commodity code tracking individual electrical switching components purchased by state and local transit authorities, school districts, county governments, and municipalities for facility maintenance, vehicle systems, and infrastructure repair. State and local buyers are procuring slide switches as discrete line items within broader electrical parts and supplies contracts, or as single components for transit bus and rail systems. Recent solicitations show activity centered on replacement switches, control panel components, and components integrated into larger assemblies for mission-critical infrastructure—Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) has posted multiple solicitations for electrical switches and related components (solenoid lock switches, covers for receptacles and switches, lighting assemblies) under its BONFIRE procurement portal, with response dates in May and October 2026. Trinity Metro (Tarrant County, Texas) established an indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity contract for electrical materials including switches, while Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued an IFB in June 2026 for electrical equipment, parts, and supplies. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted a two-year ITB in May 2026 valued at $519,787.19 for Schneider brand electrical components to supply SCADA control panels at multiple warehouses, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited electrical switches for facility maintenance at Woodman Unit. A single misaligned opportunity—Chatham County Sheriff's Office seeking Cisco network switches in September 2026—falls outside the scope of the slide switch commodity code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (DART serving Dallas County, Trinity Metro in Tarrant County, Northside ISD in San Antonio, TDCJ statewide) and Florida (Hillsborough County, Tampa, and other counties), with peripheral activity in Georgia (City of Atlanta Department of Aviation) and Washington state (Sourcewell cooperative). Payment terms across these opportunities standardize at Net 30 from invoice or order receipt, whichever is later, with FOB Destination required and timely delivery treated as material to contract performance. Representative recent procurements include DART's IFB for a solenoid lock switch with controller transformer (Solicitation 2099242, due May 20, 2026), DART's RFQ for a 10A traction power fuse (Solicitation 2100964, due September 21, 2026), and Hillsborough County's two-year contract for authorized Schneider Electric components (ITB-26-00277, $519,787.19, due June 18, 2026). Vendors responding to these opportunities must register on issuing-body procurement portals (BONFIRE for DART, Euna Procurement for Hillsborough County, OpenGov for Tampa), maintain chain-of-custody documentation for factory-sealed components where required, and accept performance bonds and insurance requirements varying by issuing body.
