UNSPSC 26121545: Portable electrical cord

Electrical cord with connectors on both ends that allow portability of connectivity.

UNSPSC 26121545 Portable electrical cord is a Commodity code that sees limited recent state and local procurement activity focused on blanket MRO supplies, electrical equipment, and facility maintenance consumables rather than portable cords as a standalone line item. State and local governments soliciting under this code include cities (Milpitas, Philadelphia, Austin, Charlotte, Tybee Island), counties (Hillsborough, Portage, Orange, Bergen, Riverside, Gwinnett, Clay, Escambia), school districts (Pinellas County, Northside Independent, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Donna Independent, Bibb County Public Schools), and transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Charlotte Area Transit System). A handful of repeat activity appears in Pinellas County Schools and Orange County jurisdictions, but no single issuing body dominates procurement under this code.

Recent opportunities show portable electrical cords embedded within broader electrical supplies and MRO procurement rather than requested as discrete items. The City of Milpitas issued IFB 26-229 in July 2026 seeking blanket purchase orders across five MRO supply categories (due July 23, 2026), which encompass electrical conduit and general maintenance supplies within a broader facilities-maintenance scope. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) posted IFB 2026098 in June 2026 for comprehensive electrical equipment, parts, supplies, and services (due July 1, 2026). The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase for surge protector extension cords (solicitation B2627293, due June 5, 2026), marking one of the few direct cord-related solicitations. Pinellas County Schools solicited electrical supplies across 27 product categories (IFB 26AM008, due March 27, 2026), specifying wire, cable, and conduit among line items but not isolating portable cords. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough, Orange, Pinellas counties; City of Tybee Island), Texas (San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston-area jurisdictions), and California (Oakland-area transit and county water districts), with scattered solicitations across other states including Georgia, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. The code shows steady but undifferentiated procurement activity—portable electrical cords are purchased as ancillary items within larger electrical-supply contracts rather than as high-value standalone line items, suggesting that firms pursuing this commodity will compete on price and availability within bundled MRO or electrical-equipment awards rather than through dedicated cord procurement campaigns.
