UNSPSC 43222802: Circuit switchboard equipment

Mechanical, electrical, or electronic equipment which opens or closes telephone circuits, completes or breaks an electrical path, or selects paths or circuits within the telephone system.

UNSPSC 43222802 Circuit switchboard equipment is a Commodity code covering electrical distribution and control equipment that state and local governments buy for utility, facility, and infrastructure upgrades. Recent opportunities show procurement of generator breakers for power plants, service entrance switchboards for schools, and cloud-based phone systems—a wide scope reflecting how state and local procurement offices tag diverse electrical and communications switching equipment under this single code. Issuing bodies include special-purpose districts such as Gainesville Regional Utilities, school districts including Cache County School District and Montcalm Area Intermediate School District, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative. The work ranges from replacement of high-voltage breakers meeting specific GE specifications to new distribution switchboards with defined voltage and amperage ratings, vendor-managed implementations with warranty and insurance requirements, and catalog discount arrangements for networked supplies.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Utah, and Michigan. Gainesville Regional Utilities issued RFP2026077 in June 2026 for a direct roll-in replacement 5000 amp, 13.8 KV generator breaker with firm lump-sum pricing, five percent bid bond, and onsite commissioning support, with intent to award by July 17, 2026.
