UNSPSC 26121661: Aluminum conductor underground service entrance cable

Cable used for 600 volt service entrance applications requiring high-heat, moisture and sunlight resistance.

UNSPSC 26121661 Aluminum conductor underground service entrance cable is a Commodity code tracking electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure components that state and local governments procure for utility operations, grid modernization, and facility electrification. State and local utilities, water authorities, school districts, and public safety agencies are soliciting underground service entrance cabling alongside related infrastructure—transmission line reconductoring projects using aluminum conductor composite core (ACCC) wire, broadband connectivity cabling for correctional and educational facilities, low-voltage data and communications cabling systems, and specialized electrical supplies for facility maintenance. The issuing bodies represent a broad cross-section: public utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), state correctional departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), school districts and education service centers (Texas Education Service Center Region 4, Georgia Department of Education, Northside Independent School District), county governments (Hillsborough County, San Bernardino County), municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Philadelphia, Long Beach Public Utilities), and transit agencies (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority). Texas appears as a repeat buyer across multiple solicitation types—RFPs, RFQs, IBFs, and ITBs—reflecting active grid and facility upgrades across the state.

Recent opportunities span transmission and distribution work (Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for 162,000 feet of high-temperature ACCC wire delivered across three projects between August 2027 and February 2028, with firm-fixed pricing and 100 percent performance bonds required); broadband and security infrastructure (Texas Department of Criminal Justice RFP 696IT26O017 for cabling services and video surveillance systems across 80 facilities statewide, with mandatory 3 percent VetHUB subcontracting participation and responses due November 9, 2026); and ongoing low-voltage cabling and support services (Hillsborough County ITB-26-00261 for five-year low-voltage cabling across the county, estimated at $9.2 million total value with 24/7 emergency response requirements and responses due May 29, 2026; Texas Education Service Center Region 4 sealed-bid procurement for structured network cabling and fiber optic connections across member districts, responses due November 9, 2026; and a Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative purchasing master contract for data, video, and voice cabling systems serving state agencies, local governments, and school districts, with $11.1 million to $12.0 million annual historical sales volume and responses due September 24, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, California, Mississippi, and Georgia, with cooperative purchasing vehicles expanding scope across multi-state service areas. Set-aside opportunities include VetHUB certification preferences in Texas and LGBTQ-owned business designations in Philadelphia; insurance, licensing, and BICSI credentialing requirements are standard for mid-to-large infrastructure work.
