UNSPSC 26121659: Aluminum conductor quadruplex service drop cable

Insulated cable with aluminum conductor, used to supply 3-phase power to service entrance.

UNSPSC 26121659 Aluminum conductor quadruplex service drop cable is a Commodity code covering electrical conductors and cable assemblies used in utility distribution and facility infrastructure. State and local procurement under this code remains sparse; the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting aluminum quadruplex service drop cable as a named line item. Instead, the code appears to be tagged on opportunities that solicit broader electrical supplies, cabling services, or equipment—a mismatch between the narrow commodity definition and the wide net cast by issuing bodies using the code for general electrical procurement.

The issuing bodies active in electrical cabling and equipment procurement span school districts (Georgia Department of Education, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Donna Independent School District in Texas), county utilities and public works (Hillsborough County in Florida, San Bernardino County in California), city utilities (City of Dallas Water Utilities, Orlando Utilities Commission, Kissimmee Utility Authority), municipal electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light in Texas), state agencies (Oregon Military Department, Texas Department of Information Resources), and special-purpose authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, California, Oregon, North Carolina, and Connecticut, with no single region dominating. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for low voltage cabling services (ITB-26-00215, due April 24, 2026, estimated value $8.74 million over five years), the City of Charlotte's RFP for citywide on-call cabling services (RFP #269-2026-189, due May 18, 2026, with a 10 percent M/W/SBE participation goal), and Donna Independent School District's RFP for electrical and plumbing supplies via catalog discount bid (RFP 011326-875, due April 8, 2026). The code does not capture meaningful recent activity in its specific commodity scope; firms targeting aluminum quadruplex cable sales should monitor general electrical supply and cabling infrastructure solicitations rather than expect direct line-item demand under this narrow code.
