UNSPSC 39122238: Photocell switch

UNSPSC 39122238 Photocell switch is a Commodity code tracking the procurement of photocell switches and closely related electrical control components by state and local transit authorities, counties, school districts, and municipalities. Recent solicitations reveal state and local governments buying photocell switches, dual-fixture light assemblies, electrical outlet covers, power converters, fuses, solenoid lock switches, and broader electrical parts inventories under this code; the nominal code name understates the scope of electrical component procurement actually occurring. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority dominates the recent activity, posting five separate solicitations for discrete electrical items between May and October 2026, all requiring FOB Destination delivery with freight included, Net 30 payment terms, and strict adherence to delivery schedules as a material contract requirement.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, with Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (Dallas County) accounting for five IFBs posted from May through October 2026 (Solicitations 2099242, 2100939, 2100940, 2100964, and 2101441, all with response dates between May 20 and October 20, 2026), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) posting an IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services due July 1, 2026, and Trinity Metro (Tarrant County) seeking an indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity electrical parts supplier contract with response due August 20, 2026. Outside Texas, activity includes Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) seeking Schneider brand electrical components for $519,787.19 over two years (ITB due June 18, 2026), Orange County Transportation Authority (California) requesting industrial electrical supplies for a $10,000 one-year term (RFQ due March 30, 2026), and Chatham County Sheriff's Office (Georgia) procuring Cisco network hardware (due October 20, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment (Proposal 061626, due June 16, 2026) spanning multiple states including Washington, and the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation posted an IFB for network switch replacement labor and materials (due August 3, 2026). Transit authorities and transportation agencies show the highest recent volume; school districts and county governments represent secondary but steady demand.
