UNSPSC 26121820: Multi core 60 volt class c automotive cable

A multi core 60 volt automotive cable that operates within the minus 40degree to plus 125 degree centigrade range.

UNSPSC 26121820 Multi core 60 volt class c automotive cable is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity primarily covers structured cabling and installation services for government facilities rather than automotive applications as the code name suggests. The County of San Mateo's RFP for Structured Cabling and Installation Services (RFPISD20261906, due December 8, 2025) exemplifies the actual scope: procurement of various cable types including copper UTP Cat 6a, multi-strand fiber (OM3 and OM4) ranging from 24-strand to 144-strand configurations, plus installation labor across county departments and facilities on an as-needed basis. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments and their information services or technology departments, which manage these procurements to support internal infrastructure modernization and maintenance. The work is delivered under per-foot pricing models that bundle materials and labor, with vendors required to meet minimum qualifications such as three years of experience, three successful government implementations in the prior five years, and compliance with TIA/EIA telecommunications standards.

The most recent activity centers on California, specifically San Mateo County, which is seeking proposals with an estimated contract value of $300,000 to $1,000,000 across an initial 36-month term with two potential 12-month renewals. The San Mateo RFP employs a two-phase evaluation across three criteria — Organizational Capacity and Experience (30 points), Method and Approach (40 points), and Price (30 points) — with a local business preference ordinance offering additional evaluation points. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for November 17, 2025, with questions due by November 24, 2025. Contractors must register with SAM.gov, demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage, and coordinate installation work across operational schedules while maintaining strict technical and quality control standards. The solicitation type is RFP, indicating competition on proposals rather than sealed bids.
