UNSPSC 39122217: Rotary switch

UNSPSC 39122217 Rotary switch, a Commodity code, covers discrete electromechanical switching components that state and local governments procure for transit systems, facilities maintenance, and infrastructure operations. Recent solicitations reflect procurement of rotary switches embedded within larger assemblies—dual fixture light assemblies, solenoid lock switches with controller transformers, and power converters—as well as spot purchases of individual switch units and receptacle covers. The buying pattern shows transit authorities, school districts, county governments, and municipalities sourcing these components both through immediate-need RFQs and ITBs and through longer-term indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) frameworks for ongoing electrical maintenance and repair operations. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority dominates the recent activity, with multiple solicitations posted in May and September 2026 for specific switch components needed to maintain rolling stock and facility electrical systems. Issuing bodies also include Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Northside Independent School District, City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, Orange County Transportation Authority, and Chatham County Sheriff's Office. The mix spans state corrections agencies, regional transit authorities, school districts, and county governments across facility and vehicle maintenance workflows.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas—Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority alone posted five opportunities between May and October 2026—with additional solicitations from Tampa, Atlanta, and Orange County. Trinity Metro (Tarrant County, Texas) posted an IDIQ electrical materials contract in July 2026 encompassing ongoing procurement of parts for facilities and stations. Representative opportunities include Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's solicitation for an entire dual fixture light assembly (IFB 2100939, due October 20, 2026), a solenoid lock switch with controller transformer (ITB 2099242, due May 20, 2026), and a 10A traction power fuse (IFB 2100964, due September 21, 2026). Northside Independent School District issued an IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with sealed bids due July 1, 2026, replacing an expiring contract. Orange County Transportation Authority sought industrial electrical supplies via RFQ 250243 with a $10,000 annual budget. All DART solicitations require FOB Destination terms, Net 30 payment, and strict adherence to specified delivery schedules; failure to meet delivery timelines is grounds for contract default and rejection.
