UNSPSC 26121708: Battery cable assembly

Wiring or cable assembly for connection to automotive vehicle battery

UNSPSC 26121708 Battery cable assembly (Commodity) covers structured cabling products and installation services that state and local governments procure for information technology infrastructure, telecommunications networks, and facility connectivity across departments and new construction. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing copper cabling (UTP Cat 6a), multi-strand fiber optic cables (OM3 and OM4), and associated assembly work delivered on an as-needed basis with per-foot pricing models. The primary issuing bodies are county information technology or purchasing departments managing comprehensive cabling solutions across existing and new facilities. Solicitations emphasize technical compliance with TIA/EIA telecommunications standards, coordination with departmental representatives to accommodate operational schedules, and the ability to handle diverse installation scenarios including work traversing public thoroughfares.

The County of San Mateo posted RFP #ISD-20261906 in July 2026 seeking structured cabling and installation services with a contract value range of $300,000 to $1,000,000 and a response deadline of December 8, 2025, featuring a two-phase evaluation across organizational capacity, method and approach, and price. The solicitation includes a local business preference ordinance and requires proposers to demonstrate three years of experience, three successful government implementations in the last five years, SAM.gov registration, and compliance documentation. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for November 17, 2025, with questions due by November 24, 2025. Recent activity on this code remains limited to this single substantive California county opportunity; broader geographic and issuing-body patterns cannot be established from the available record.
