UNSPSC 72151500: Electrical system services

The installation, repair and maintenance of structural electrical systems owned by others

UNSPSC 72151500 Electrical system services, a Class code, covers the installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance of electrical infrastructure and components in state and local facilities—grounded in recent solicitations for switchgear replacement, transfer switch installation, lighting retrofits, pad-mounted switch removal and installation, and emergency electrical repair services at water treatment plants, government buildings, colleges, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies span state departments (Washington Department of Labor & Industries, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, California Department of Water Resources), county governments (Denton County, Montgomery County, Collier County), cities (Lewisville, St. Petersburg, Thousand Oaks, Alpharetta, Brownsville), and higher-education institutions (Eastern Connecticut State University, Collin College, Reading Area Community College). A handful of repeat buyers appear across the recent opportunity set—Washington state colleges and community colleges, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Florida municipalities—but the code shows activity across a broad range of public bodies rather than concentration among a few frequent purchasers.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Washington, California, Florida, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's bid for removal and replacement of a 15.5 kV pad-mounted switch at Richmond State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017638, due August 7, 2026), Denton County's request for proposals on electrical and generator upgrades at four county facilities (RFP CSP262910, due August 6, 2026), the City of St. Petersburg's RFQ for continuing building operations and maintenance in four categories including electrical repair or replacement (RFQ26292, due August 20, 2026 with a $7 million total three-year budget), and the City of Lewisville's competitive sealed bid for electrical services at water and wastewater treatment plants (IFB 2652A, due August 10, 2026). The scope mix reflects both routine maintenance and emergency response contracts structured on an as-needed or continuing-services basis, as well as project-specific capital upgrades—switchgear replacements, generator installations, EV charging station infrastructure, and lighting system retrofits. Several solicitations require Master Electrician certification, in-person pre-bid meetings, and response-time guarantees; federal compliance requirements (prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, CDBG-DR, Texas Broadband Development Office) appear in a subset of opportunities. Activity remains steady through late July and into August 2026 across multiple jurisdictions and facility types.
