UNSPSC 39122245: Magnetic switch

A switch which is activated by magnetic force and is used to protect and control overload of motors by using the overhead relay.

UNSPSC 39122245 Magnetic switch, a Commodity code, covers electrical switching components and related parts that state and local governments procure for transit authority maintenance, facility operations, law enforcement infrastructure, and school district electrical systems. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing magnetic switches, solenoid lock switches, push-button switches, receptacle covers, fuses, power converters, and other electrical components as discrete line items within larger maintenance and repair contracts. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) dominates recent activity, posting multiple individual component solicitations (solenoid lock switches, power converters, 10A traction power fuses, dual fixture light assemblies) in May, September, and October 2026, all via BONFIRE with FOB Destination terms and Net 30 payment. Beyond DART, issuing bodies include school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio seeking electrical equipment, parts, and supplies), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners procuring Schneider electrical components; Chatham County Sheriff's Office acquiring network hardware), transit authorities (Trinity Metro in Tarrant County establishing an IDIQ electrical materials contract; Orange County Transportation Authority requesting industrial electrical supplies), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The code also captures broader solicitations for electrical equipment inventories and as-needed supplies supporting maintenance operations across multiple departments and facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas-area transit, Tarrant County, San Antonio, Hillsborough County) and Florida (Tampa, Hillsborough County, Chatham County), with secondary activity in Georgia (City of Atlanta Department of Aviation) and national cooperative purchasing under Sourcewell. DART's repeated postings suggest ongoing component procurement with tight delivery windows (two to seven days between posting and response) and material emphasis on timely fulfillment and freight responsibility. Representative opportunities include Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's October 2026 solicitation for a solenoid lock switch with controller transformer (Solicitation 2099242, due May 20, 2026, IFB format); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 ITB for Schneider electrical components with an estimated contract value of $519,787.19 over two years; and Northside Independent School District's June 2026 IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services replacing an expiring contract. Payment terms across all recent opportunities run Net 30 with invoices submitted in triplicate or electronically; delivery requirements are material to award, with failure to meet specified schedules grounds for rejection and default termination.
