UNSPSC 57070103: Power supply

A power supply is an electronic circuit that converts the voltage of an alternating current (AC) into a direct current (DC) voltage. It is basically consisting of the following elements: transformer, rectifier, filter and regulator circuits.

UNSPSC 57070103 Power supply is a Commodity code purchasing desktop and laptop power adapters, backup battery systems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and related AC/DC conversion equipment for enterprise and municipal IT environments. State and local governments procure under this code when replacing end-of-life power infrastructure, refreshing desktop or laptop fleets, or upgrading data center resilience. The issuing bodies span county information technology departments, municipal procurement offices, school districts, and state education agencies. Recent activity shows power-supply purchasing is typically bundled within broader computer-hardware or data-center refresh procurements rather than standalone solicitations, and quantities are driven by fleet size and replacement cycles.

Recent opportunities reflect power supplies as subordinate components within larger IT infrastructure projects. Collin County Information Technology procured power supplies as part of a $1.2 million IFB for Dell computers and peripherals (IFB 2026-390, response date October 15, 2026), requiring firm-fixed markup pricing from Dell Platinum or Titanium level resellers across 600 machines per year. The State of Texas TIPS cooperative framework (posted October 1, 2026, proposals due November 19, 2026) encompasses power supplies within a master-agreement vehicle for technology products and services available to state and local entities statewide. Orange County Transportation Authority's procurement of iPad tablets (IFB 260569, past-due September 17, 2026) included power supplies integral to cellular devices. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Collin County, Amarillo ISD, statewide TIPS procurement) and California (Orange County). The code shows steady but episodic demand tied to IT refresh cycles rather than continuous standalone procurement; vendors succeed by offering power supplies as authorized resellers through cooperative purchasing agreements or OEM partnerships, bundling delivery with broader hardware refresh projects, and maintaining pricing transparency and inventory availability aligned to school-district and county capital replacement schedules.
