A cable which is used in relay between toll switches or between broadcasting stations.

UNSPSC 26121653 Toll cable is a Commodity code that encompasses structured network cabling infrastructure, fiber optic transmission conductors, and armored umbilical cables for specialized applications across state and local government facilities. State and local buyers procure this code to support broadband connectivity, video surveillance systems, data network installations, utility transmission line upgrades, and marine research operations. Recent solicitations show demand for copper and fiber cabling systems (Cat 5e, 6, 7 fiber optic); transmission-grade aluminum conductor composite core (ACCC) wire for utility reconductor projects; double-armoured electro-optical umbilical cable for remotely operated vehicles; and associated materials such as data racks, wire management systems, patch panels, and connectors. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Information Resources, Texas Education Service Center Region 4, Georgia Department of Education), utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Dallas Water Utilities), county commissions (Hillsborough County, San Bernardino County), cities (Philadelphia, Long Beach, Dallas), school districts (Northside Independent School District, Commerce Elementary School), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and universities (University of Southern Mississippi). The code sees the most active recent procurement in Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, and Mississippi, with a substantial cooperative purchasing vehicle serving multiple state agencies and local governments statewide in Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP (696IT26O017, due November 9, 2026) for broadband connectivity cabling services and IP video surveillance systems across 80 correctional facilities statewide with a mandatory 3% VetHUB subcontracting participation goal; Texas Education Service Center Region 4 IFB (696IT26O017, due November 9, 2026) for structured network cabling and video surveillance installation across multiple facilities; Hillsborough County's ITB (26-00261, due May 29, 2026) for five-year low voltage cabling services at an estimated $9.2 million including fiber, coaxial, copper, and voice-data installation with 24/7 emergency support; Kissimmee Utility Authority IFB (26-055-JG, due October 27, 2026) for high-temperature ACCC transmission conductor wire across three transmission line reconductor projects with delivery between August 2027 and February 2028; and the Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative purchasing RFO (COOP2026SOL-00008, due September 24, 2026) serving state agencies, local governments, higher education, and K-12 districts with historical annual sales of $11.1 to $12.0 million across cabling services and related products. Bidders on utilities and multi-facility contracts face prevailing wage, apprenticeship, and bonding requirements; many require BICSI RCDD credentials and manufacturer certifications for copper and fiber systems.
