UNSPSC 39122305 Meter relay is a Commodity code that encompasses electrical control and motor management equipment state and local governments procure for water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure operations. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures motor control centers (MCCs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), soft-start units, pump station control panels, and related electrical enclosures and replacement parts. State and local buyers under this code include municipal utilities (water and wastewater departments), county utility districts, transit-adjacent infrastructure authorities, and independent school districts managing facilities with motor-driven systems. Issuers span city wastewater departments, county commissioners managing countywide water systems, municipal water districts, and special-purpose water reclamation authorities. The work ranges from single-source replacement parts and warranty service (as in the City of Tampa's Solcon Soft-Start parts procurement) to competitive bids for fully engineered and fabricated control systems with UL 508A certification, factory acceptance testing, and emergency callout support (Hillsborough County's $3.66 million pump station control panel contract over two years). Procurement types include RFPs for professional engineering services and system integration, ITBs and RFBs for equipment supply and installation, and IFBs for term contracts covering electrical parts and repair services.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Tampa, Orlando, Hillsborough County, Bartow, Riverside County in California, Santa Fe in New Mexico, and West Basin Municipal Water District in California). The City of Tampa issued an Intent to Single Source for Solcon Soft-Start replacement parts and warranty service with an October 2, 2026 deadline.

West Basin Municipal Water District in California issued an RFB (RFBTH0120) for Motor Control Center replacement at the Torrance Refinery Water Reclamation Plant, requiring California contractor licensure, prevailing wage compliance, and Small/Local Business Enterprise participation, with substantial completion mandated within 250 days.
