UNSPSC 26121660: Aluminum conductor duplex service drop cable

Cable used primarily for 120 volt outdoor and overhead service applications.

UNSPSC 26121660 Aluminum conductor duplex service drop cable is a Commodity code that encompasses high-voltage transmission and distribution conductors, aluminum-core cables, and related electrical distribution infrastructure used in utility and facility power systems. State and local governments procure this code primarily through utility authorities, school districts, and correctional or public facilities departments seeking transmission line upgrades, facility infrastructure expansion, and network connectivity cabling. Recent activity shows demand for both traditional aluminum conductor materials and specialized high-temperature composite variants (ACCC) for transmission reconductoring projects, alongside broader facility cabling infrastructure integrating power, data, and video systems into unified installations.

The issuing-body mix spans utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), state correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), education service centers and school districts (Texas Education Service Center Region 4, Georgia Department of Education, Northside Independent School District), and county facilities departments (Hillsborough County, San Bernardino County). Recent representative opportunities include Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for high-temperature ACCC transmission conductor wire for three reconductor projects with delivery deadlines spanning November 2027 through February 2028 (due October 27, 2026); Texas Department of Criminal Justice's RFP for broadband connectivity cabling and video surveillance systems across 80 facilities statewide with a mandatory 3% VetHUB subcontracting goal and response due November 9, 2026; and Hillsborough County's five-year ITB for low-voltage cabling services throughout the county with an estimated value of $9,213,350 and bids due May 29, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, California, and Mississippi, with Texas showing the strongest recent procurement velocity across TDCJ, ESC 4, and DIR cooperative contracting platforms.
