UNSPSC 26121534: Polymide wire

UNSPSC 26121534 Polyimide wire is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily for broadband infrastructure expansion, electrical transmission system upgrades, and data cabling installations across facility networks. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing polyimide-based wire and armored umbilical cables as components within larger cabling, networking, and electrical infrastructure projects rather than as standalone commodity orders. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is procuring broadband connectivity cabling services and video surveillance system installations across 80 correctional facilities statewide; Texas Education Service Center Region 4 (ESC 4) is soliciting cabling services and surveillance system installation across multiple school facilities; and the Kissimmee Utility Authority is purchasing Aluminum Conductor Composite Core transmission conductor wire for transmission line reconductor projects. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Information Resources), regional education service centers, utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), and special-purpose districts. A statewide cooperative purchasing vehicle administered by the Texas Department of Information Resources saw historical DIR cabling contract volumes of $11.1 million (FY 2023), $11.5 million (FY 2024), and $12.0 million (FY 2025), indicating sustained activity in copper and fiber optic cabling systems across Texas public entities.

The code shows active procurement across Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, and Mississippi. Recent representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFP (due November 9, 2026) for broadband cabling and video surveillance across 80 facilities statewide with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting at 3% participation for awards exceeding $100,000; the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB (due May 29, 2026) for ongoing low voltage cabling services including fiber, coaxial, and copper installations with an estimated five-year value of $9,213,350; and the Texas Department of Information Resources' cooperative master contract RFP (due September 24, 2026) for planning, design, installation, and maintenance of data, video, and voice cabling systems serving state agencies, local governments, and school districts across Texas. The University of Southern Mississippi pursued a sole-source procurement for 5,100 meters of armored electro-optical umbilical cable valued at approximately $239,300. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Texas, reflecting both direct state agency procurements and cooperative purchasing vehicles, with secondary activity in Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi centered on utility and county infrastructure modernization.
