UNSPSC 39122251: Detent switch

A type of switch that uses a mechanism to maintain the state of the switch

UNSPSC 39122251 Detent switch, a Commodity code, encompasses electrical switching components used across state and local operations—though recent solicitation activity under this code shows substantial mismatch between the nominal code scope and actual procurement activity. The opportunities tagged to this code include network switch installation labor and materials (City of Atlanta Department of Aviation), brand-specific electrical contact kits and float switches (Hillsborough County Water Resources), industrial electrical supplies (Orange County Transportation Authority and Northside Independent School District), Schneider Electric components for SCADA control panels (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and transit equipment including solenoid lock switches, power converters, fuses, and obstruction light assemblies (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority). The code also captures broader electrical equipment framework agreements (City of Dallas) and cooperative purchasing vehicles for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell on behalf of participating Washington counties and other jurisdictions). These opportunities reflect state departments, county water and transportation authorities, city transit systems, school districts, and regional purchasing cooperatives as issuing bodies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, City of Dallas, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio), Florida (Hillsborough County, Orange County Transportation Authority), Georgia (Gordon County School System, Bibb County Public Schools), and North Carolina (Charlotte Area Transit System), with scattered activity in Connecticut and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation IFB for network switch replacement labor and installation (due August 3, 2026); Hillsborough County's ITB for mercury float switches and Square D contact kits (due February 24 and March 2, 2026, respectively, at $60,000 and $184,000 estimated values); Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ for industrial electrical supplies at $10,000 budget (due March 30, 2026); Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, and services (due July 1, 2026); and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's multiple purchase order solicitations for fuses, power converters, and obstruction light assemblies (due February 24-26, 2026). The code shows active state and local procurement but primarily for electrical equipment categories that extend well beyond detent switches in nominal scope.
