UNSPSC 26120000: Electrical wire and cable and harness

UNSPSC 26120000 Electrical wire and cable and harness, a Family code, encompasses procurement of electrical wiring, cables, harnesses, and related connectivity products used in infrastructure, fleet, and facility maintenance across state and local governments. State and local opportunities under this code reflect broader asset maintenance and infrastructure modernization efforts: recent solicitations include support for emergency response equipment (fire department training props with integrated standpipe systems and pump manifolds requiring Class I standpipe valves, pressure-reducing valves, and associated piping), transit fleet servicing (miscellaneous auto and shop supplies for transportation authorities), utility and energy infrastructure (wire and cable supplies for electric utilities, fiber cabling work for city-wide networks, and electrical subpanel upgrades at multifamily housing), and specialized vehicle systems (EV charger electrical infrastructure for school districts). Issuing bodies span cities (Santa Monica, Albuquerque, Torrington), counties (Orange, Jackson, Walworth, Sacramento, Orange County Sheriff-Coroner), regional transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Charlotte Area Transit System, Broward County Transportation Department, Sarasota County Transit), school districts (Lansing Public Schools, Parkway School District), utilities (Gainesville Regional Utilities, Norwich Public Utilities), and state agencies (Kentucky Department of Education, Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources). Repeat procurement themes include fleet maintenance supplies and OEM parts, collision and body repair services, and infrastructure upgrades tied to federal funding (FTA, FHWA, Florida Department of Transportation 5310 grants).

Geographic activity clusters in California (Santa Monica, Orange County, Alameda, Gainesville, Tucson, Sacramento), Florida (Sarasota, Pasco, Albuquerque, Palm Bay, Marion County), Massachusetts, Connecticut, Kentucky, Missouri, and the Mid-Atlantic region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Santa Monica Fire Department's ITB for a mobile pump recirculation tank and standpipe training prop with integrated piping and standpipe valves (bids due October 26, 2026), Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB for miscellaneous auto and shop supplies to two facilities with firm pricing over two years and $500,000 estimated value (September 1, 2026 deadline, re-solicitation following lowest-bidder errors), the Housing Authority for the City of Alameda's RFP for electrical subpanel upgrades and circuit re-feeding at Parrot Gardens with prevailing wage and weighted-score evaluation (October 22, 2026 deadline), and Gainesville Regional Utilities' RFP for annual wire and cable supplies across multiple conductor types and voltage ratings over a five-year term with 95 percent on-time delivery requirements (June 25, 2026 deadline, intended award July 17, 2026). Opportunities frequently carry Davis-Bacon or California prevailing wage mandates, FTA Buy America or Title 49 CFR Part 26 DBE compliance, insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million general liability and commercial auto liability typical), and multi-year initial terms with optional renewals.
