UNSPSC 83101800: Electric utilities

UNSPSC 83101800 Electric utilities is a Class code covering the supply and installation of electrical infrastructure, power delivery systems, and related equipment serving state and local public agencies. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for water utility upgrades, wastewater treatment facility electrical work, pump station control systems, traffic signal installations, solar photovoltaic systems, natural gas pipeline infrastructure, utility billing and customer service systems, and emergency backup power or distribution equipment. The issuing bodies span water and sewer authorities, municipal utilities, county government departments, city public works and utilities divisions, transit authorities, and independent school districts. Recent activity shows a mix of large-scale utility infrastructure upgrades and smaller operational support contracts across the United States.

Recent solicitations demonstrate the breadth and geographic spread of activity under this code. Southwest Delaware County Municipal Authority (Pennsylvania) is procuring electrical and SCADA upgrades at the Woodbrook Pump Station and administration building, with bids due November 17, 2026 via PennBid using prevailing wage rates under Addendum No. 1. Collier County (Florida) is requesting sealed bids for electrical and chemical system work as part of lime softening improvements and a blend tank at the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant, with bids due September 21, 2026 and an anticipated project budget of $4.27 million. The Brunswick-Glynn County Water and Sewer Commission (Georgia) posted multiple bids for water and sewer main extensions with electrical and control components, with response dates in late August and September 2026. Lewisburg Borough (Pennsylvania) is soliciting bids on traffic signal and emergency preemption system upgrades with electronic submission via PennBid due September 2, 2026. The City of Statesboro (Georgia) is seeking bids for natural gas system upgrades with a 20 percent MFBE participation requirement and bids due September 10, 2026. Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina) and Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Delaware) regions, with scattered procurement in the Midwest and Texas. Prevailing wage requirements and bonding appear standard across most public-sector electrical work, particularly in Pennsylvania and other states with prevailing wage laws.
