UNSPSC 39122331: Control relay

UNSPSC 39122331 Control relay is a Commodity code that encompasses motor control centers, soft-start controllers, and related electrical control equipment used in wastewater treatment, water reclamation, lift station operations, and other municipal utility infrastructure. State and local governments procure these units either as replacement equipment for aging systems or as components within larger facility upgrades, often bundled with installation, programming, testing, and ongoing maintenance services. The code sees activity from county water and wastewater departments, municipal utility agencies, and special-purpose water districts that manage treatment plants, pump stations, and reclamation facilities. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (particularly in Florida), city utilities departments, and independent special-district authorities such as West Basin Municipal Water District and the Buckman Direct Diversion system.

Recent solicitations span Florida, California, and New Mexico.
