UNSPSC 26121524: Insulated or covered wire

UNSPSC 26121524 Insulated or covered wire is a Commodity code that covers electrical wire and cabling products used in infrastructure, fleet, facility, and utility projects. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code appears to capture wire and conduit installation as part of larger electrical and mechanical upgrade work rather than standalone wire procurement. Orange County, Florida issued an IFB (Y26-604) in April 2026 for Eastern Water Reclamation Facility electrical and mechanical upgrades that included wire and conduit installation alongside 15KV switchgear modifications, generator replacements, and control system conversions; the work scope emphasized closed-transition generator transfer systems and comprehensive electrical system upgrades at a water treatment facility. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited a five-year low voltage cabling services agreement (ITB2600002) in February 2026, estimated at $1.7 million, encompassing fiber and coaxial installation and repair, horizontal and riser data and voice cabling, support infrastructure, testing and documentation, and ground and bonding systems. State and local buyers under this code span county departments (utilities, transportation, public works), school districts (facilities operations), and transit authorities. Florida appears to be the primary recent activity jurisdiction, with multiple county-level opportunities in Hillsborough, Orange, Brevard, and Sarasota counties alongside city-level work in Atlanta. The code shows meaningful activity concentrated in water utility and facilities infrastructure work where integrated electrical and cabling upgrades drive procurement.

Hillsborough County's low voltage cabling RFQ required contractors to maintain valid Florida electrical or limited energy systems licenses, deploy six full-time three-person crews with 24-hour repair response capability, and employ a BICSI Registered Communications Distribution Designer, with pricing subject to annual CPI adjustments and a firm five-year value of $1.7 million. Orange County's Eastern Water Reclamation Facility IFB closed April 30, 2026, and required Florida Electrical Contractor or General Contractor licenses, with comprehensive switchgear and controls integration experience and bond/insurance requirements including $1 million commercial general liability and pollution liability coverage; the prior proposal reference indicated a project cost in the range of $2.267 million. Both opportunities demanded substantial experience, licensure, and crew depth, reflecting the technical complexity of electrical infrastructure work in utility and facility settings. The code shows steady activity through Q1 2026 with infrastructure-focused issuers driving procurement; follow-up capacity in Florida utilities and county facilities maintenance appears stable.
