UNSPSC 26121828: Multi core 600 volt class c automotive cable

A multi core 600 volt automotive cable that operates within the minus 40degree to plus 125 degree centigrade range.

UNSPSC 26121828 Multi core 600 volt class C automotive cable is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under recent state and local opportunities posted against it. The County of San Mateo's RFP for Structured Cabling and Installation Services (RFPISD20261906, due December 8, 2025) seeks comprehensive cabling solutions across county departments covering copper UTP Cat 6a, multi-strand fiber (OM3 & OM4), and configurations ranging from 24-strand to 144-strand cables — telecommunications infrastructure cabling, not automotive cable. The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement scope suggests either a coding error in the county's tagging or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how this jurisdiction classifies cabling work.

The County of San Mateo RFP represents the only substantive recent opportunity in the source; the second record is a Williamson County administrative relocation notice unrelated to procurement. The San Mateo solicitation offers an estimated contract value of $300,000 to $1,000,000 over an initial 36-month term with two optional 12-month renewals, with per-foot pricing for labor and materials. The county prioritizes Organizational Capacity and Experience (30 points), Method and Approach (40 points), and Price (30 points), and applies a local business preference ordinance. Contractors must demonstrate three years of experience, three successful government implementations within five years, SAM.gov registration, and compliance with TIA/EIA telecommunications standards. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for November 17, 2025, with questions due November 24, 2025. The code shows minimal recent activity; businesses evaluating pursuit should clarify with the issuing body whether the automotive cable code is correctly applied to telecommunications cabling work.
