UNSPSC 26121631: Outside plant coaxial cable

UNSPSC 26121631 Outside plant coaxial cable is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure this code in its literal scope; recent activity shows the code captures a much broader range of audio-visual system upgrades, security equipment installations, and electronic components procurement that incidentally involve cabling or network infrastructure but are not primarily about outside plant coaxial cable. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for coaxial cable itself. The City of Holly Hill, Florida is seeking a Commission Chambers audio and video system upgrade including wireless microphones, ceiling speakers, amplifiers, and digital signal processors (RFP 26PW01, due February 11, 2026); the City of Philadelphia Department of Aviation is requesting bids for electronic components and test equipment including multimeters and power supplies (IFB B2727931, due September 23, 2026); Northside Independent School District is requesting bids for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, and rentals (IFB IFB2026118, due September 24, 2026); and the City of Orlando is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive sound system upgrade at Camping World Stadium including loudspeaker systems, wireless microphone upgrades, digital signal processing, network upgrades, and electrical power upgrades (RFP RFP260476, due August 10, 2026). The Texas Department of Information Resources issued a cooperative purchasing RFO for cabling services and related products including data, video, and voice cabling systems using copper and fiber optic infrastructure (COOP2026SOL-00008, due September 24, 2026), indicating that infrastructure cabling does move under this code at the cooperative purchasing tier.

The issuing-body mix spans city governments (Holly Hill, Philadelphia, Orlando), county purchasing offices (Wake County, Collin County), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, Marion County Schools, Pinellas County Schools), state purchasing divisions (Texas DIR), and special-purpose districts. School districts appear as repeat buyers across multiple opportunities covering classroom projectors, AV equipment, and repair services. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, with secondary activity in North Carolina, Colorado, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Wake County's sealed-bid request for camera and intercom replacement at Hammond Road Parking Deck (IFB 26079, due August 20, 2026); Collin County's RFP for courtroom audio-video system refresh at Justice of the Peace Precincts 3 and 4 (RFP 2025-201, estimated $500,000); the Pinellas County School District's sealed-bid procurement for theater lighting renovations (ITB 26-CD-020, valued approximately $501,000); and the City of St. Marys, Georgia's RFP for audio-visual services for council chambers and court (RFP PE66960NONST2027000000057, due July 17, 2026). The code does not reflect recent activity for outside plant coaxial cable procurement in its literal form.
