UNSPSC 26121644: Bare aluminum electrical cable

Type of cable used to supply power in underground mining

UNSPSC 26121644 Bare aluminum electrical cable is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as components in broadband and data infrastructure expansion projects, utility transmission-line reconductoring, and facility cabling systems. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses structured network cabling (copper and fiber optic), transmission conductor wire for utility operations, and umbilical cable for specialized equipment, rather than standalone bare aluminum wire alone. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, regional education service centers, utility authorities, school districts, and municipal water departments — a mix reflecting the code's use across infrastructure modernization programs that require both materials and installation labor.
