UNSPSC 24141707: Reel

UNSPSC 24141707 Reel (Commodity) encompasses electrical supplies, cabling systems, and related installation services that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for facility operations, infrastructure maintenance, and systems upgrades. Recent solicitations reveal a broad portfolio spanning electrical parts inventories for school districts and municipal departments, structured low-voltage cabling for data and communications networks, CCTV and access control cabling for security systems, and materials for electric utility distribution projects. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), municipal departments (City of Phoenix Public Works, City of Dallas, City of Charlotte), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Charlotte Area Transit System), and regional utilities (Florida Keys Electric Cooperative), along with cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of participating entities in Washington and Minnesota). State and local governments treat this code as a standing supply agreement category, establishing master agreements or blanket purchase orders with one or multiple vendors to fulfill routine operational demand without specifying quantities in advance.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations posted in Florida (Pinellas County Schools estimated annual value $950,000; Hillsborough County Schools estimated annual value $500,000; Orange County Transportation Authority at $10,000 initial term), Texas (Northside ISD; City of Dallas sixty-month ID/IQ for electrical supplies; State of Texas DIR cooperative cabling services RFO due June 12, 2026), North Carolina (City of Charlotte on-call cabling services RFP due May 18, 2026, with three-year initial term), and Arizona (City of Phoenix three-year contract with two one-year extensions beginning October 1, 2025). Multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell (RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026) extend reach across Washington, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26043-DST for CCTV-LAN cabling services with mandatory small business participation requirements and estimated annual budget of $500,000, Pinellas County School District IFB 26AM008 for electrical supplies across 27 product categories with $950,000 annual value, and City of Charlotte RFP #269-2026-189 for citywide on-call cabling services requiring BICSI certifications and structured labor and product pricing across a three-year term. The code also captures cooperative procurement vehicles and infrastructure materials (Florida Keys Electric Cooperative call for quotes for distribution feeder materials; City of Long Beach fiber expansion project materials and installation, rebid after initial bid rejection in June 2026). Cost-based evaluation dominates; jurisdictions typically weight price heavily (Dallas at 100 percent, Orange County at 100 percent) alongside qualifications and experience. Incumbent contracts are frequently expiring and triggering re-solicitations, signaling sustained demand for replacement agreements across recurring refresh cycles.
