UNSPSC 39122217: Rotary switch

UNSPSC 39122217 Rotary switch is a Commodity code that covers discrete electrical switching devices, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the abstract category name. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local governments are actually procuring network infrastructure switches (core switches, Catalyst switches, Nexus data center switches), float switches for water system operations, contact kits for motor starters, and miscellaneous electrical supplies and equipment on an as-needed basis—none of which are rotary switches in the traditional sense. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: water authorities and departments (Hillsborough County Water Resources), school districts (Gordon County School System, Bibb County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District, Eugene School District 4J), municipal departments (City of Atlanta Department of Aviation, City of Dallas, City of Charlotte), state departments of corrections (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and regional transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority). Hillsborough County emerges as a repeat buyer, posting multiple competitive sealed bids for specialized electrical components and switches over the past six months.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas DART, TDCJ, City of Dallas), Florida (Hillsborough County, Orange County Transportation Authority), Georgia (Gordon County School System, Bibb County Public Schools), and North Carolina (City of Charlotte / CATS), with scattered activity in Connecticut, Oregon, and Washington state. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation's IFB/GS/DOA/2605-1260196 for network switch installation labor and materials posted June 30, 2026 with bids due August 3, 2026; Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00138 for mercury float switches posted February 5, 2026 with bids due March 2, 2026 and an estimated value of $60,000.00 over two years; the City of Dallas's sixty-month ID/IQ master agreement for electrical supplies (BE26-00029715) posted February 5, 2026 with bids due March 13, 2026; and Bibb County Public Schools' RFP 26-029 for network switch installation services posted January 30, 2026 with proposals due March 2, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope; mismatch between the rotary switch category name and the actual procurement mix suggests consideration of higher-level family or segment codes for improved targeting.
