UNSPSC 26121815: Single core 600 volt class f automotive cable

A single core 600 volt automotive cable that operates within the minus 40degree to plus 200 degree centigrade range.

UNSPSC 26121815 Single core 600 volt class f automotive cable is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it does not reflect automotive electrical cable procurement. The County of San Mateo's RFP for structured cabling and installation services (RFPISD20261906, due December 8, 2025) solicits telecommunications infrastructure cabling — copper UTP Cat 6a, multi-strand fiber OM3 and OM4, and related installation labor — for county departmental networks and facilities. This scope aligns with building telecommunications systems rather than automotive applications. The one other recent record in the dataset is an administrative notice of the Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation and contains no procurement substance.

The mismatch between the code's automotive cable scope and the actual work being bought under it in recent state and local opportunities suggests this Commodity code sees little relevant activity in current public procurement. The San Mateo solicitation, estimated at $300,000 to $1,000,000 over an initial 36-month term with potential two-year renewals, targets telecommunications installation contractors with three years of experience, three successful government implementations in the past five years, and compliance with TIA/EIA standards. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for November 17, 2025, with questions due November 24, 2025. The evaluation emphasizes organizational capacity and experience (30 points), method and approach (40 points), and price (30 points), and includes a local business preference ordinance. Given the automotive cable code designation paired with data showing telecommunications cabling procurement instead, this Commodity code warrants careful classification review before pursuit.
