NIGP 28510: Cable Accessories: Clamps, Clasps, Clips, Closures, Reels, Splices, Wrappings, etc.

NIGP 28510 Cable Accessories: Clamps, Clasps, Clips, Closures, Reels, Splices, Wrappings, Etc., an Item code, encompasses cable management hardware and splice components that state and local governments procure as part of broader electrical, telecommunications, and infrastructure projects. Recent state and local solicitations reveal that the code captures not stand-alone accessories but rather bundled cable and related-component procurement—utilities, school districts, transit authorities, and municipalities are buying structured cabling systems, fiber optic installations, and wire-and-cable assemblies where splices, clamps, closures, and conduit accessories form integral line items within comprehensive infrastructure or electrical supply contracts. Gainesville Regional Utilities' RFP 2026-067 for annual wire and cable supplies establishes a three-year framework with suppliers furnishing overhead secondary, primary underground, and primary overhead conductor wire and cable under ASTM and IEEE standards, while Pinellas County School District's IFB 26-AM-008 for electrical supplies spans 27 product categories including conduit, accessories, raceways, wire and cable, and lighting components valued at approximately $950,000 annually. Issuing bodies span utility cooperatives, regional public power authorities, school districts, cities, counties, and transit agencies; repeat buyers include Pinellas County Schools (multiple solicitations for electrical supplies), utilities in Florida, and municipal public works departments across the Southeast and Southwest.

Activity concentrates in Florida (Gainesville Regional Utilities, Pinellas County Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Orange County Transportation Authority, Florida Department of Transportation District Six, and Florida Keys Electric Cooperative) and Texas (Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department pre-qualification for structured cabling and installation, State of Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative contract for cabling services and products), with secondary activity in North Carolina (City of Charlotte on-call cabling services RFP 269-2026-189 due May 18, 2026) and California (City of Long Beach fiber expansion project re-bid due April 2, 2026). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26043-DST for CCTV-LAN cabling services (structured cabling systems including Cat6 UTP, fiber optic, and coaxial cable) due April 24, 2026 with an estimated annual budget of $500,000 and mandatory Small Business Encouragement Program participation, and the State of Texas DIR's RFO COOP2026SOL-00008 for cabling services and related products (communication cables, fiber optic cables, cable accessories, pole line hardware, and installation services) open to cooperative contracts with responses due June 12, 2026 and a 26.0% VetHUB subcontracting goal.
