UNSPSC 26121603: Control cable

UNSPSC 26121603 Control cable is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure control cables for traffic signal infrastructure, utility and industrial equipment integration, and facility electrical systems. Recent solicitations reflect narrow, equipment-specific buys—ABB recloser control cables for power distribution, traffic signal loop detector lead-in cables for signalization, and single twisted pair cables for traffic control devices—as well as incidental procurement through broader electrical and low-voltage systems contracts. The issuing bodies span cities, counties, school districts, and utility agencies. The City of Austin has posted multiple quotation requests for traffic signal cables within the last two months, indicating recurring demand for replenishment stock; Broward County and other Florida jurisdictions appear regularly across electrical and communications infrastructure solicitations that bundle control and signal cabling within larger systems work.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (City of Austin, Donna ISD, TxDOT Fort Worth District) and Florida (Broward County, Orange County, Hillsborough County), with scattered activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Fulton County) and Wisconsin (City of Madison). The City of Austin issued IFQ 1100 CPG 1077 on July 1, 2026, requesting an ABB Recloser Control Cable (32 pin), 50 feet, with quotes due July 8, 2026, through a two-tiered HUB/M/WBE solicitation. TxDOT Fort Worth District solicited traffic signal cable through Bonfire on April 28, 2026, with responses due April 24, 2026. More broadly, the City of Austin has issued multiple traffic signal cable quotations (IFQ 6200 AJC 1024 and IFQ 6200 AJC 1025) in May and June 2026 for single twisted pair and 5-conductor cables supporting traffic signal projects citywide, with response times of two to four working days. Hillsborough County issued ITB 2600002 on February 3, 2026, for a five-year low-voltage cabling services agreement valued at $1.7 million, which encompasses control cable installation and repair as part of broader network infrastructure work. The code shows steady, equipment-specific procurement activity rather than spike demand, with municipal traffic control and utility infrastructure representing the primary end uses.
