UNSPSC 39122219: Level or float switch

UNSPSC 39122219 Level or float switch is a Commodity code that encompasses mechanical and electrical switching devices used to detect and regulate liquid levels in storage tanks, wells, lift stations, and similar industrial or municipal infrastructure. State and local governments procure these switches as capital replacement parts and maintenance supplies for water systems, wastewater treatment, fleet operations, and facility management. Recent solicitations show float switches being specified for water resources applications—Hillsborough County Water Resources Department ITB-26-00138, posted February 5, 2026 with response due March 2, 2026, sought mercury float switches (Type S and Type P configurations in standard and mini versions with normally open or normally closed settings) to trigger pump operations at predetermined liquid levels in wells and lift stations across the county, with an estimated contract value of $60,000.00 over two years. The code also captures electrical switching components more broadly in industrial and facility-maintenance contexts: Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IW248707 in June 2026 for electrical switches at the Woodman Unit, and Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued IFB2026098 in June 2026 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, and repairs on a replacement-contract basis. Issuing bodies using this code span water departments, school districts, state correctional facilities, and county maintenance operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with additional procurement from Oregon. Beyond dedicated float-switch procurements, the code appears tagged to broader electrical-supplies contracts where switches represent one line item among many; the City of Dallas ID/IQ electrical supplies agreement (BE26-00029715, due March 13, 2026) and Orange County Transportation Authority industrial electrical supplies RFQ (250243, posted May 5, 2026) encompass switch components within larger frameworks. Hillsborough County appears as a repeat buyer for specialized electrical components, having issued ITB-26-00123 for Square D Brand Contact Kits (due February 24, 2026, estimated value $184,000.00 over two years) and the mercury float switches procurement noted above. Geographic spread reflects municipal and county water infrastructure investment in Florida, combined with school district IT and facility upgrades in Georgia and Texas. The code sees steady but moderate activity—most opportunities are two-year term procurements with firm fixed pricing, emphasizing established distributors, manufacturer equivalents, and timely delivery to multiple warehouse or facility locations.
