UNSPSC 39122221: Switch part or accessory

UNSPSC 39122221 Switch part or accessory is a Commodity code that encompasses network switches, electrical switches, contact kits, solenoid locks, and related components procured by state and local governments for infrastructure replacement, facility maintenance, and operational systems. Recent solicitations reveal state and local buyers treating this code as a catch-all for switch-related equipment ranging from enterprise networking hardware to small electrical components for water systems and transit facilities. The City of Atlanta, Department of Aviation is replacing end-of-life network switches through an IFB due August 3, 2026; Hillsborough County Water Resources is bidding mercury float switches and Square D brand contact kits for two-year supply contracts; and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority is procuring fuses, power converters, obstruction light assemblies, and solenoid lock switches in rapid succession. The mix of issuing bodies spans municipal departments, county water and transportation agencies, transit authorities, school districts, and criminal justice departments. Northside Independent School District in Texas and Bibb County Public Schools in Georgia are soliciting electrical equipment and network switches respectively, indicating school system participation across the commodity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Oregon, and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Dallas is establishing a five-year ID/IQ master agreement for electrical supplies due March 13, 2026; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted multiple ITBs for electrical components with awards estimated at $60,000 to $184,000 over two-year terms; and the Gordon County School System in Georgia is sourcing network switches and cabling through an E-Rate-funded RFP due March 16, 2026. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority dominates the recent pipeline with four separate purchase order solicitations posted in February 2026 (solenoid lock switches due August 3, 2026; power converter due February 24; 10A traction power fuse due February 26; obstruction light assembly due February 24), all requiring BONFIRE registration and demonstrating high velocity in operational procurement. Sourcewell in Minnesota is managing a cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026, available to participating state and local entities nationwide. Brand-specific procurements (Schneider Electric components, Square D contact kits, Meraki switches, Cradlepoint routers) signal that switching and electrical component buys often require manufacturer authorization or sole-source justification, narrowing the vendor pool to authorized distributors and specialized suppliers.
