UNSPSC 26121843: Braided 600 volt class b automotive cable

A braided 600 volt automotive cable that operates within the minus 40degree to plus 100 degree centigrade range.

UNSPSC 26121843 Braided 600 volt class B automotive cable is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The single substantive recent opportunity posted under this code is the County of San Mateo's RFP #ISD-20261906 for Structured Cabling and Installation Services, issued July 16, 2026, with a response deadline of December 8, 2025—a solicitation that centers on copper (UTP Cat 6a) and multi-strand fiber cabling (OM3 & OM4) for telecommunications infrastructure across county departments rather than automotive cable applications. The procurement scope emphasizes telecommunications-grade structured cabling for building networks in existing and new county facilities, delivered on an as-needed basis with per-foot pricing for installation labor and materials. The county intends to establish a blanket services agreement with an estimated value between $300,000 and $1,000,000 over an initial 36-month term plus two optional 12-month renewals, with technical oversight by the Information Services Department and compliance validation against TIA/EIA telecommunications standards.

The County of San Mateo is the only identified issuing body with recent activity under this code. The solicitation applies a local business preference ordinance offering evaluation points to local businesses, non-profits, and small or micro businesses, and requires bidders to meet minimum qualifications including three years of relevant experience, three successful government implementations in the past five years, SAM.gov registration, and compliance documentation with Department of Industrial Relations registration. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for November 17, 2025, at 1:00 pm Pacific time, with questions due November 24, 2025. The code shows no broader geographic dispersion or repeat-buyer pattern in recent state and local postings; the mismatch between the code's automotive cable designation and the telecommunications cabling work actually being solicited suggests limited relevance of this Commodity code to active state and local procurement under its stated product classification.
