UNSPSC 26121817: Single core 600 volt class h automotive cable

A single core 600 volt automotive cable that operates within the minus 40degree to plus 250 degree centigrade range.

UNSPSC 26121817 Single core 600 volt class H automotive cable is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement under this designation shows minimal direct purchasing activity. The single substantive recent opportunity on record is the County of San Mateo's RFP #ISD-20261906 for Structured Cabling and Installation Services, posted July 16, 2026 with a response deadline of December 8, 2025. That solicitation encompasses a broad range of cable types — copper UTP Cat 6a, multi-strand fiber (OM3 and OM4) in configurations from 24-strand to 144-strand — priced on a per-foot basis for labor and materials combined. The county's scope does not isolate single-core 600-volt automotive cable as a line item; instead, it bundles all cable provisioning and installation into a unified on-demand contract with per-foot pricing across diverse cable families. Issuing bodies using this code include county information technology and facilities departments seeking comprehensive cabling solutions across multiple departments and facility types, both existing and new.

The County of San Mateo represents the primary recent activity under this code, with an estimated contract value between $300,000 and $1,000,000 over a 36-month initial term plus two optional 12-month renewals. The RFP is two-phased, awarding 110 total evaluation points across Organizational Capacity and Experience (30 points), Method and Approach (40 points), and Price (30 points), with a local business preference ordinance offering additional points. Pre-proposal meetings and Q&A cycles ran through November 24, 2025, with interviews potentially scheduled between December 2025 and January 2026. Contractors must hold three years of experience, demonstrate three successful government implementations in the preceding five years, and comply with TIA/EIA telecommunications standards. Geographic concentration is limited; only California shows a recent substantive opportunity. The code sees minimal state and local procurement volume overall, suggesting that single-core automotive cable, if purchased at all by state and local bodies, is either procured under broader cabling or electrical infrastructure codes or sourced through cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than standalone RFPs.
