UNSPSC 72151514: Standby or emergency power maintenance service

The maintenance or repair of standby or emergency electrical power systems owned by others

UNSPSC 72151514 Standby or emergency power maintenance service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure planned and preventive maintenance, repair, and emergency response services for backup generators, emergency power systems, and automatic transfer switches across municipal facilities, public universities, healthcare institutions, and special districts. Recent opportunities show contracts for semi-annual generator inspections and servicing, comprehensive preventive maintenance with load bank testing, 24/7 emergency repair response, and parts replacement for diesel and propane generator sets ranging from 20 KVA to 800 KW capacity serving fire stations, water treatment plants, data centers, research facilities, and law enforcement operations.

State procurement offices, county facilities management departments, California state agencies (CDFW, Caltrans, Cal OES), Florida counties and school districts, and healthcare systems issue solicitations under this code. Repeat issuing bodies include Palm Beach County (multiple generator maintenance contracts), the California Department of Transportation, and state emergency management agencies. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Maryland, Alaska, and Texas, with recent solicitations from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (IFB with November 17, 2026 bid due for semi-annual maintenance at Fresno County salmon facility, estimated $60,000), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Georgia (ITB BL143-26 for on-call services across 300+ facilities, bids due October 19, 2026), Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (small-business-reserve IFB for three-year preventive maintenance and emergency response at Chestertown, bids due September 30, 2026), California Department of General Services (IFB 25-305525 for two commercial generators in Sacramento, bids due October 7, 2026), and Cal OES (bids for 18 pieces of emergency power equipment at Dixon and Corona warehouses, bids due July 6, 2026, three-year term). These contracts typically require C-10 or equivalent electrical licensing, proof of generator maintenance experience, insurance at $1 million general liability minimum, and response-time commitments (often two hours for emergency calls).
