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 representing the procurement of aluminum conductors and related cable materials for electrical infrastructure. State and local governments buy bare aluminum cable primarily as component materials for utility distribution, substation equipment, and facility electrical systems rather than as finished end-use products. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses both finished cable stock and materials integrated into larger infrastructure projects—from utility switchgear installations and water reclamation facility upgrades to airport terminal electrical work and on-call cabling services frameworks where aluminum conductors feature as part of comprehensive telecommunications or power distribution systems.

The issuing-body mix reflects utility, county, municipal, and state agency procurement across Florida, Texas, Oregon, California, North Carolina, and Connecticut. Municipal electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light, Orlando Utilities Commission), county project and facilities management departments (San Bernardino, Hillsborough), state transportation and military branches (Oregon Department of Information Resources, State of Oregon Military Department), cities and their utility commissions (City of Dallas Water Utilities, City of Phoenix), and independent school districts (Georgia Department of Education, Northside Independent School District) have posted recent opportunities. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners appears twice in the recent record with low-voltage cabling services RFPs (ITB-26-00215 and ITB-26-00261), both five-year agreements with estimated values of $8,741,746.98 and $9,213,350.00 respectively. Representative recent opportunities include Lubbock Power & Light's RFP 7124-26-ELD for Erskine Substation equipment and materials (due March 26, 2026), which specified disconnect switches, insulators, surge arresters, and bus conductors on an all-or-none basis; Orange County, Florida's IFB Y26-604 for Eastern Water Reclamation Facility electrical and mechanical upgrades (due April 30, 2026), encompassing 15 kV switchgear modifications and generator system upgrades; and the State of Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative solicitation COOP2026SOL-00008 for cabling services and related products (due June 12, 2026), which includes fiber optic cables, cable accessories, and installation services with a 26.0% VetHUB subcontracting plan goal. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, California, North Carolina, and Connecticut.
