UNSPSC 26121505: Fixture wire

UNSPSC 26121505 Fixture wire is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fixture wire primarily as part of broader electrical supply and equipment contracts that bundle wire, conduit, poles, transformers, lighting fixtures, and related materials for school districts, redevelopment authorities, and municipal departments. The wire appears in two contexts: as a cataloged item in standing multi-vendor supply agreements with school districts, and as a line item within large electrical infrastructure projects including distribution materials, site package construction, and institutional facility support. Issuing bodies include independent school districts in Texas (Donna ISD, Northside ISD), redevelopment authorities in Mississippi (Columbus Redevelopment Authority), and county governments (Hillsborough County). School districts treat fixture wire as part of routine maintenance and operational supply needs through catalog-discount RFPs and IFBs; redevelopment authorities and municipal entities procure it within comprehensive electrical site packages and grid improvement projects.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Mississippi. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued IFB 2026098 (due July 1, 2026) for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services as a blanket replacement contract, requiring all vendors to respond or lose future business with the District. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued RFP 011326-875 (due April 8, 2026) for a catalog-discount award to multiple vendors covering electrical and plumbing supplies including wire, boxes, conduit, and lighting fixtures for the 2026–2027 school year. The Columbus Redevelopment Authority in Mississippi issued multiple bids in April 2026 for the Parkview Development electrical site package—materials procurement (sealed bids due April 22, 2026) and construction labor (sealed bids due April 22, 2026)—encompassing overhead utility wire in multiple gauges totaling approximately 12,000 linear feet, underground cable, and related distribution infrastructure. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 2600002 (due March 3, 2026) for low voltage cabling services across five years at an estimated $1.7 million, emphasizing fiber and coaxial installation and repair alongside data and voice cabling infrastructure. Wire specifications in these procurements reference ANSI standards and IEEE guidelines; transformers and related equipment must comply with DOE energy conservation standards and factory testing protocols.
