About NIGP 28080
NIGP 28080 Underground Cables and Wires, Solid and Stranded, Single and Multiconductor, Aluminum and Copper: Types UF, URD, USE, XLP, Etc. is an Item code capturing state and local procurement of copper and aluminum underground and primary distribution cables across utility, municipal, and infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying primarily 600-volt secondary cables, multi-conductor primary cables rated 15 kV and 25 kV, fiber optic cables, triplex and single-conductor configurations, and installation or replacement services; the scope extends to specialty items such as guy wires, control cables, and distribution feeder materials. Issuing bodies include municipal electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light, Orlando Utilities Commission, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida Keys Electric Cooperative), county and city governments (San Mateo County, Orange County Florida, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County Schools, Albany Georgia, Pasco County), transit and water authorities, and state departments (Caltrans, California Highway Patrol, Texas Department of Information Resources). San Mateo County and Hillsborough County appear multiple times as significant buyers of cabling and installation services.
Geographic activity spans Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, and Oregon, with notable recent concentration in Florida (Orange County water reclamation facility upgrades, Hillsborough County low-voltage cabling, Pinellas County Schools directional boring and conduit, Pasco County utility locating). Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County's RFP #ISD-20261906 for Structured Cabling and Installation Services (copper UTP Cat 6a, fiber OM3 and OM4, per-foot pricing, $300,000 to $1,000,000 estimated value, response due December 8, 2025); Orlando Utilities Commission and Kissimmee Utility Authority's RFP PR9071 for Wire & Cable (600-volt secondary, XLP and EPR primary cables, approximately 200 line items, response due March 27, 2026); Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00215 for Low Voltage Cabling services (five-year term, $8.7 million estimated value, response due April 24, 2026); and Lubbock Power & Light's municipal quote for 2,000 feet of 350 KCM 25 kV copper cable with EPR insulation and concentric neutral (response due July 15, 2026). Activity remains steady across as-needed, on-call, and term-contract vehicles, with price-indexed and firm-pricing structures both appearing.
