UNSPSC 26120000: Electrical wire and cable and harness

UNSPSC 26120000 Electrical wire and cable and harness, a Family code, encompasses overhead and underground conductor wires, primary and secondary cables, and fiber optic cabling systems that state and local governments procure for utility infrastructure, fleet electrification, and telecommunications networks. Gainesville Regional Utilities (Florida) is establishing a three-year wire and cable supply agreement under RFP 2026-067 to furnish overhead secondary, primary underground EPR, underground secondary, and primary overhead copper and aluminum conductor wire, with award intended by July 17, 2026, and the contract commencing November 1, 2026. Separately, the City of Boston is soliciting street lighting wire supplies under a one-year contract with a bid deadline of March 18, 2026. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal utilities (Gainesville Regional Utilities), city public works departments (Boston), and single-purpose entities focused on infrastructure hardening and electrification—including school districts (Lansing Public School District procuring EV charger electrical infrastructure at the Hill Center with wiring, cabling, and grounding systems under SO-1860) and public authorities managing transportation electrification. State and local governments also use the code for structured cabling and data infrastructure: Connecticut State Colleges & Universities issued RFP 26-1371310 for telecommunications wiring and cabling services due May 1, 2026, and the City of Watertown, Massachusetts solicited DCFC station installation including electrical infrastructure under a May 5, 2026 deadline.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Texas, and Connecticut, with secondary procurement momentum in states pursuing EV and renewable infrastructure upgrades. Gainesville Regional Utilities' three-year supply contract emphasizes value engineering and consolidated shipping to reduce total cost of ownership, while the broader set of recent solicitations—spanning utility wire supply, school EV infrastructure, municipal street lighting, and telecommunications cabling—signals sustained investment in grid modernization and electrified transportation networks at the state and local level. Opportunities are competitive, typically awarded on lowest cost with secondary weight to delivery performance and technical compliance with ASTM and IEEE standards for conductor materials, insulation, and voltage ratings.
