UNSPSC 39122251: Detent switch

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

UNSPSC 39122251 Detent switch is a Commodity code covering individual electrical switch components and related hardware that state and local governments procure for transit system maintenance, facility operations, and equipment repair. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers soliciting detent switches alongside broader categories of electrical parts, receptacle covers, power converters, fuses, and solenoid-lock switches — all component-level items used in transit infrastructure, municipal facilities, and correctional operations. The issuing bodies are primarily transit authorities and county government agencies; Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) appears repeatedly as a major buyer of electrical components under this code tier, alongside Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, which has solicited ongoing Schneider brand electrical components. School districts and municipal departments also procure under related electrical-parts codes, and state correctional and criminal-justice agencies source electrical switches and related maintenance hardware.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. DART has posted multiple component solicitations in October 2026 — including a dual fixture light assembly (Solicitation 2100939, due October 20, 2026), a receptacle/switch cover (2101441, due October 20, 2026), a power converter (2100940, due October 16, 2026), and a traction-power fuse (2100964, closed September 21, 2026) — all with identical FOB Destination freight-inclusive pricing, Net 30 payment terms, and strict delivery-schedule enforcement. Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00277 (closed June 18, 2026) for Schneider electrical components carried an estimated $519,787.19 value over two years and required authorized distributor status and single-source bidding on all line items. Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited electrical switches for facility maintenance (IW248707, closed April 29, 2026). The City of Tampa sourced a G.E. model push-button switch under RFQ 26P00469 (closed August 17, 2026) with five-business-day delivery requirement. Trinity Metro and Northside Independent School District have pursued broader electrical-parts IDIQ and IFB contracts covering maintenance and emergency operations; Orange County Transportation Authority issued RFQ 250243 for industrial electrical supplies at $10,000 annually (closed March 30, 2026).
