UNSPSC 39122329: Time relay

UNSPSC 39122329 Time relay (Commodity) spans electrical control components that state and local governments procure for water systems, industrial facilities, and infrastructure modernization projects. The code captures relay hardware used in motor control centers, pump stations, switchgear systems, and automated control applications where level sensing or timing functions trigger operational changes. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring time relays as part of broader electrical equipment and control system upgrades rather than as standalone line items; the code surfaces primarily in water districts, municipalities, and school systems managing aging or expanding infrastructure.

Water districts and municipalities represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, with Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) in Riverside County and Hillsborough County Water Resources Department appearing as active buyers. Solicitation activity concentrates in California and Florida, with additional opportunities in Arizona, Oregon, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include EMWD's RFP for a medium voltage soft starter (MVSS) installation at Auld Road Booster Station (due May 9, 2026) encompassing motor controls with time delay relay functionality integrated into a larger control system; Hillsborough County's ITB for mercury float switches (due March 2, 2026) that trigger pump operations at predetermined levels; and multiple municipal electrical equipment and control panel fabrication contracts where relays function as components within integrated systems. West Basin Municipal Water District's motor control center replacement (RFBTH0120, due March 31, 2026) and Orange County, Florida's Eastern Water Reclamation Facility electrical upgrades (IFB Y26-604, due April 30, 2026) represent mid-range infrastructure projects where time relays sit within larger switchgear and control modernization scopes. The code shows steady activity across water utility operations and facility management but limited standalone procurement volume; most opportunities position relays as subcomponents within system-level upgrades rather than discrete procurement categories.
