UNSPSC 26121621: Kaptan cable

UNSPSC 26121621 Kaptan cable, a Commodity code, covers structured cabling infrastructure and specialty electrical cable products that state and local governments procure for broadband connectivity, data networks, video surveillance systems, and utility transmission projects. Recent solicitations show demand for fiber optic and copper cabling installation services, armored umbilical cables for specialized equipment, and transmission conductor wire for utility system expansion and reconductoring work. The issuing body mix spans state corrections departments, education service centers, school districts, utility authorities, and county facility management operations. Work ranges from full-scope cabling design, installation, and maintenance contracts to single-item procurements for specialty cable components and transmission conductors.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with recent competitive procurements including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's broadband connectivity and video surveillance cabling RFP (696IT26O017, due November 9, 2026, requiring VetHUB subcontracting at 3% participation), Texas Education Service Center Region 4's sealed-bid solicitation for cabling installation across multiple school district facilities (696IT26O017, due November 9, 2026), and Hillsborough County's five-year low voltage cabling services ITB (ITB-26-00261, due May 29, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $9,213,350). The Texas Department of Information Resources is managing a cooperative purchasing vehicle for cabling services available to state agencies, local governments, and school districts statewide (COOP2026SOL-00008, closed September 24, 2026, with historical contract spend of $11.1–$12.0 million annually). Kissimmee Utility Authority's transmission conductor procurement (IFB 26-055-JG, due October 27, 2026) and the University of Southern Mississippi's sole-source umbilical cable purchase demonstrate niche opportunities for specialty cable products serving utility and research operations.
