UNSPSC 39122330: Overload relay

UNSPSC 39122330 Overload relay (Commodity) represents electrical control and protection components that state and local governments procure as discrete units and as integrated subsystems within larger industrial control packages for water treatment, wastewater, and utility infrastructure. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are buying overload relays embedded in motor control centers, soft-start replacement assemblies, and comprehensive electrical control systems for pump stations and lift stations rather than as standalone commodity purchases. State and local buyers include water and wastewater utilities (city departments and special districts), county commissioners overseeing regional infrastructure, and independent school districts managing facility electrical systems. The City of Tampa's Wastewater Department, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Bay County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Bartow, West Basin Municipal Water District, the City of Santa Fe (Buckman Direct Diversion), and Riverside County have all issued recent solicitations involving motor control centers and control system upgrades in which overload relay protection is a critical component.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Tampa, Hillsborough County, Bay County, Bartow, and Riverside County in California) and extends to New Mexico, Texas, and Washington state jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for pump station control panels and enclosures (ITB-26-00393, response due September 29, 2026, estimated value $3.66 million over two years), the City of Bartow's procurement for a Master Lift Station Motor Control Center, the City of Santa Fe's RFP for Programmable Logic Controller replacement and SCADA modification (RFP FY26-RFP-036, responses due December 18, 2025), West Basin Municipal Water District's RFB for TRWRP 93 Motor Control Center Replacement (responses due March 31, 2026), and the City of Tampa's single-source intent for Solcon Soft-Start replacement parts and services (intent filing due October 2, 2026). Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued an IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (due July 1, 2026) replacing an expiring contract. These procurements are structured as ITBs, RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs with response timelines ranging from weeks to months and reflect ongoing utility infrastructure modernization and maintenance cycles.
