UNSPSC 26121505: Fixture wire

UNSPSC 26121505 Fixture wire (Commodity) covers specialized electrical hardware and materials that state and local governments procure for infrastructure upgrades, utility maintenance, and facility electrification. Recent solicitations show the code is applied to purchases of wiring, conduit, breakers, lugs, fasteners, ground rods, couplers, insulators, cables, clamps, and related electrical components used in circuit installations, substation work, and equipment mounting. Issuing bodies span municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), city departments (Philadelphia Parks & Recreation or similar), school districts (Northside Independent School District), and county governments (DeKalb County). These agencies typically solicit under this code as part of standing electrical-supply contracts or project-specific installations, often using IFB or competitive quote processes and awarding on a whole or line-item basis to the lowest responsive bidder.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The City of Philadelphia posted an IFB (B2728135) on September 29, 2026, due October 13, 2026, for electrical installation at the Port Royal Radio Tower Site, including #12 THHN wire, EMT conduit, and breakers; the reference quote totaled $3,180.00 with a contract ceiling of $99,000 over up to four years. Lubbock Power & Light issued a competitive quote request (267017ELD) on September 28, 2026, due October 5, 2026, for 42 line items of specialized components including cables, lugs, and fasteners for delivery to the Erskine Substation. Northside Independent School District posted IFB2026098 on June 8, 2026, due July 1, 2026, for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services covering San Antonio operations. DeKalb County Government solicited on September 24, 2026, due October 1, 2026, for E-Poll Book encoder stabilizer brackets. Vendors pursuing this code should expect standing-supply and project-award cycles driven by utility maintenance schedules and capital-improvement timelines, with preference programs (LBE in Philadelphia) and insurance/bonding requirements standard.
