UNSPSC 39122326: Socket relay

UNSPSC 39122326 Socket relay is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy electrical relays and relay components under this code primarily for industrial control and water/wastewater infrastructure applications, though the recent opportunities block does not surface solicitations explicitly tagged to this specific commodity code. The issuing bodies pursuing relay-adjacent electrical component procurements span school districts, municipal water authorities, county water departments, and cities, with water utilities appearing as repeat buyers in the current opportunity set. Work being solicited under related electrical component codes includes motor control center replacement, soft starter installation, float switch procurement, and contact kit supply — all control and switching devices that operate alongside or in lieu of relays in industrial settings.

Recent opportunities tagged to electrical component and control system codes show concentrated activity in California, Florida, and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Georgia, and Minnesota through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Water Resources Department's invitation to bid for mercury float switches (ITB 26-00138, due March 2, 2026), Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP for medium voltage soft starter installation at Auld Road Booster Station in Riverside County (RFP due May 9, 2026), and Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, and supplies in San Antonio (IFB 2026098, due July 1, 2026). These procurements typically require two-year contract terms with price adjustment clauses, UL or manufacturer certification, and compliance with prevailing wage and E-Verify requirements when federally funded. The code itself shows limited direct recent activity; vendors should monitor water utility capital projects and school district electrical maintenance contracts as the most likely near-term demand drivers.
