UNSPSC 26121519: Copper clad aluminum wire

UNSPSC 26121519 Copper clad aluminum wire, a Commodity code, reflects state and local government procurement of electrical transmission and distribution components, including copper and aluminum wire, cables rated for medium and high voltage, and related hardware for utility operations and infrastructure maintenance. Recent solicitations show that issuing bodies buy finished electrical wire and cable stock (bare or insulated copper, aluminum, and composite materials) for immediate installation or inventory, alongside related connectors, lugs, insulators, and fasteners. State-level departments, municipal utilities, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose districts issue solicitations under this code, with repeat buyers including Lubbock Power & Light, a Texas municipal electric utility that has posted multiple competitive quote requests for copper cable and anchor rods since July 2026.

Texas dominates the recent activity, with five of nine opportunities originating from Texas state entities (Texas Department of Information Resources, Texas Water Development Board), Texas municipalities (City of Lubbock, City of Austin), and Texas school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio). Geographic reach extends into Florida (Pasco County, Hillsborough County) and Wisconsin (City of Madison). Representative recent solicitations include Lubbock Power & Light's quote request (July 15, 2026 due date) for 2,000 feet of 350 KCM copper cable rated 25 KV with approved manufacturers including Southwire, Prysmian, and General Cable; the City of Austin's quotation for 3,000 feet of 7-stranded copper weatherproof wire meeting ANSI/ICEA S-70-547 (IFQ 1100 BAS1095, due June 25, 2026); and the Texas Department of Information Resources' cooperative purchasing contract for cabling services and products (COOP2026SOL-00008, proposals due September 24, 2026) serving state agencies, local governments, K-12 districts, and higher education, with historical sales of $11.1 million to $12.0 million annually across FY 2023–2025. Most opportunities specify FOB destination delivery, firm pricing for 10–30 days, and immediate or near-term fulfillment.
