UNSPSC 83101801: Supply of single phase electricity

UNSPSC 83101801 Supply of single phase electricity, a Commodity code, covers the delivery of electrical power to state and local water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure facilities. State and local governments procure single-phase electricity primarily as a pass-through commodity for water treatment plants, pump stations, lift stations, and related utility operations rather than as a primary procurement object; the code appears in recent solicitations as a line item or utility requirement embedded in larger infrastructure projects rather than as a standalone service contract. Issuing bodies include municipal water authorities, county utilities departments, city public works divisions, and regional water treatment facilities across the Southeast, with particular activity in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and the Carolinas. Representative recent opportunities include the Multi-Mart Water Association's solicitation for the 2026 Local System Improvement Project (IFB, due July 15, 2026), the City of Oxford Mississippi water distribution project (sealed bid, due April 30, 2026), the Jones County Board of Commissioners Highway 49 Water System Extension Phase 5 (sealed bid, due July 7, 2026), and the Eatonton-Putnam Water and Sewer Authority's Carter's Crossing Water Line Installation (sealed bid, due March 5, 2026).

The code shows minimal standalone procurement activity and is rarely the principal object of a state or local solicitation. When the code does appear, it typically tags utility service requirements or operational cost pass-throughs within larger capital projects—water main installation, treatment plant upgrades, or facility improvements—rather than contractual agreements for electricity supply or delivery. Geographic spread reflects water infrastructure development across the Southeast, with concentrated activity in rural and semi-rural water associations and municipalities in Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and Texas where system extensions, rehabilitation projects, and treatment facility upgrades drive infrastructure spending. No recent opportunities in the source block are explicitly structured as standalone electricity supply contracts; the code's presence in water utility project records suggests it functions primarily as a supporting utility classification for budgeting and compliance purposes rather than as an active procurement category for business development targeting.
