UNSPSC 39122239: Pull chain switch

A switch operated by pulling a chain to move the switch from on to off.

UNSPSC 39122239 Pull chain switch is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The source records show solicitations for network switches, electrical equipment and supplies, solenoid lock switches, mercury float switches, contact kits, fuses, power converters, obstruction light assemblies, and intercom systems—none of which are pull chain switches. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in how opportunities were tagged or that pull chain switches are rarely procured by state and local bodies under this specific code. Activity is driven by general electrical supplies procurement and network infrastructure upgrades rather than manual switching devices.

The opportunities that carry this code span multiple issuing-body types: airport authorities (City of Atlanta Department of Aviation), state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Northside Independent School District, Gordon County School System, Bibb County Public Schools, Eugene School District 4J), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Bibb County), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Orange County Transportation Authority, Charlotte Area Transit System), and municipal utilities (Hillsborough County Water Resources Department). Recent solicitations are concentrated in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB for mercury float switches (ITB2600138, due March 2, 2026, estimated value $60,000 over two years); the City of Dallas's sixty-month master agreement for electrical supplies (BE26-00029715, due March 13, 2026); and Bibb County Public Schools' E-Rate-funded RFP for network switch installation across 45 locations (RFP 26-029, due March 2, 2026, mandatory pre-bid February 11, 2026). The code appears to be a catch-all tag for diverse electrical component and control procurement rather than a reliable signal for pull chain switch demand.
