UNSPSC 26121602: Submarine cable

UNSPSC 26121602 Submarine cable is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice encompasses electrical transmission and distribution equipment, parts, and supplies used to connect power systems and support infrastructure maintenance. The Northside Independent School District's recent IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services demonstrates that this code in the state and local space captures a broader scope than the nominal "submarine cable" designation suggests — school districts and other public bodies use it to procure general electrical hardware, repair services, and rental equipment needed for facility operations and infrastructure upkeep. Issuing bodies under this code span independent school districts and likely other municipal and county entities requiring electrical system maintenance and component replacement.

The most recent solicitation activity appears concentrated in Texas. Northside Independent School District posted IFB 2026098 on June 8, 2026, with a sealed-bid response deadline of July 1, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all incumbent and prospective vendors to submit new bids or risk loss of future business. The IFB specifies that all proposals must include shipping and handling costs to the District's San Antonio, Texas location, but does not identify an estimated contract value, contract term, pre-bid meeting, or question deadline. Recent activity in this code appears limited to this single identified opportunity.
