UNSPSC 39122244: Cutout switch

A switch with a single electrode to protect and operate a transformer. If the internal fuse is shut off, the cover is automatically open by gravity.

UNSPSC 39122244 Cutout switch is a Commodity code covering electrical cutout switches, fuses, contactors, solenoid lock switches, and related electrical control components that state and local governments procure for transit infrastructure, facilities maintenance, law enforcement operations, and emergency power systems. Recent activity shows transit authorities and counties buying these components for rail and bus fleet operations, facility upgrades, and emergency repair. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) has posted multiple solicitations since May 2026 for cutout switches, solenoid lock switches with controller transformers, 10A traction power fuses, power converters, and dual fixture light assemblies through its BONFIRE procurement portal, all with FOB Destination and Net 30 payment terms. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners procured Schneider brand electrical components including switches under ITB-26-00277 for $519,787.19 over two years. Northside Independent School District, San Antonio, sought electrical equipment parts and supplies via IFB in June 2026. City of Tampa purchased a GE model push-button inventory switch under RFQ in July 2026. The code also captures broader electrical component supply agreements: Trinity Metro (Tarrant County) established an IDIQ electrical materials contract in July 2026, and Orange County Transportation Authority sought industrial electrical supplies under RFQ in May 2026 at a budget of $10,000 for one-year initial term plus renewal.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and the broader Southeast, with DART serving as a repeat buyer in Dallas County. Issuing bodies include transit authorities (DART, Trinity Metro, Orange County Transportation Authority, Chatham County Sheriff's Office via network switch procurement), school districts (Northside ISD), and county purchasing offices. The sourcing pattern emphasizes urgent delivery and standardized components: DART enforces strict delivery schedules with grounds for default termination and requires triplicate invoicing to APInvoices@dart.org; Hillsborough County limited bidders to authorized Schneider distributors with no substitutions permitted for SCADA control panel standardization. Representative recent opportunities include DART Solicitation 2100939 (dual fixture light assembly, due October 20, 2026), DART Solicitation 2100964 (10A traction power fuse, due September 21, 2026), Trinity Metro IFB26T035 (IDIQ electrical parts supplier, due August 20, 2026), Hillsborough County ITB-26-00277 (Schneider electrical components, due June 18, 2026 at $519,787.19), and Orange County Transportation Authority RFQ 250243 (industrial electrical supplies, $10,000 budget). Delivery windows are typically four to fifteen calendar days; cost and lead time are material evaluation factors in urgent procurements.
