UNSPSC 39122304: Reed relay

A relay that is structured by combining the coil that makes the move and the reed switch sealed in the glass tube together with the inert gas in encountering with the narrow gap for the reed made of a pair of a ferromagnetic substance.

UNSPSC 39122304 Reed relay is a Commodity code that covers electrical switching and control components used in industrial infrastructure, water treatment systems, and facility electrical upgrades. State and local governments procure reed relays as part of broader electrical equipment and control system replacements, typically bundled with related components such as motor control centers, programmable logic controllers, switchgear, and soft starters in water utility, municipal facilities, and transit operations contexts.

Recent activity under this code appears sparse and indirect. The named opportunities do not isolate reed relays as a standalone line item; instead, they embed relay procurement within larger electrical system modernization projects. The Hillsborough County Water Resources Department issued ITB-26-00138 (Mercury Float Switches, due March 2, 2026) and ITB-26-00123 (Square D Brand Contact Kits, due February 24, 2026)—both component-level electrical procurements for water utilities. The City of Santa Fe issued RFP FY26-RFP-036 (PLC replacement and SCADA modifications, due January 9, 2026) involving Schneider Electric control systems across 13 water system sites. Orange County, Florida posted IFB Y26-604 (Eastern Water Reclamation Facility electrical and mechanical upgrades, due April 30, 2026) encompassing neutral grounding resistor replacement, switchgear modifications, and protective relay upgrades. These water utility and municipal facility upgrades—originating from counties, cities, and special-purpose water districts in Florida, California, Georgia, and Arizona—suggest that reed relays and similar control components are acquired as parts of multi-million-dollar system replacements rather than as discrete commodity purchases. The code shows no recent standalone reed relay solicitations; pursuit should focus on prime contracts and subcontracting roles within larger electrical infrastructure modernization projects driven by utilities and municipalities upgrading aging control systems.
