UNSPSC 39122238: Photocell switch

UNSPSC 39122238 Photocell switch, a Commodity code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally identifies photoelectric or light-activated switching devices, but recent solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect that scope. Instead, the opportunities named electrical supplies, network switches, contact kits, float switches, and fuses—products unrelated to photocell switching. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in source systems or that the code has been repurposed in certain jurisdictions' taxonomy usage without clear alignment to the published commodity name. State and local governments soliciting under this code span transit authorities, county departments, and school districts, with activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest over the past six months.

Recent opportunities include Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) solicitations for network switch components, fuses, and obstruction light assemblies across February and May 2026 via ITB; Hillsborough County Water Resources Department's ITB for mercury float switches (posted February 5, 2026, due March 2, 2026, estimated value $60,000.00); and Hillsborough County's ITB for Square D Brand Contact Kits (posted January 26, 2026, due February 24, 2026, estimated value $184,000.00). None of these directly address photocell switching. The City of Atlanta Department of Aviation (June 30, 2026 IFB for network switch installation labor), Gordon County School System (February 13, 2026 RFP for fiber cabling and core switches, E-Rate funded), and Northside Independent School District in Texas (June 8, 2026 IFB for broad electrical equipment and parts) also appear under the code. The code shows no clear pattern of photocell-specific procurement and may warrant review for accuracy in source data before committing pursuit resources.
