UNSPSC 26121846: Braided 600 volt class e automotive cable

A braided 600 volt automotive cable that operates within the minus 40degree to plus 175 degree centigrade range.

UNSPSC 26121846 Braided 600 volt class E automotive cable is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity spans structured cabling and installation services for government facilities, including copper, fiber, and mixed-media cable systems rather than automotive cable specifically. The County of San Mateo solicited comprehensive cabling solutions (RFP #ISD-20261906, due December 8, 2025) covering copper UTP Cat 6a, multi-strand fiber OM3 and OM4, and cable configurations from 24-strand to 144-strand, installed on an as-needed basis across county departments and new facilities with per-foot pricing for labor and materials. County governments and local public agencies issuing under this code are the primary buyers, procuring installation and materials as integrated services rather than cable inventory alone. The evaluation criteria—Organizational Capacity and Experience (30 points), Method and Approach (40 points), and Price (30 points)—reflect the labor-intensive nature of installation work, with local business preference ordinances adding competitive weight in some jurisdictions.

The San Mateo County opportunity dominates recent activity under this code, with an estimated contract value of $300,000 to $1,000,000 and an initial 36-month term plus two optional 12-month renewals. Vendors must demonstrate three years of experience, three successful government implementations within the past five years, and registration with the Department of Industrial Relations and SAM.gov. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for November 17, 2025, with questions due by November 24, 2025, and proposal submission required electronically by December 8, 2025, with potential interviews between December 2025 and January 2026. Contractors must meet TIA/EIA telecommunications standards and provide evidence of required insurance coverages. Geographic activity is limited to California in the recent opportunities block; no other states or jurisdictions appear in the available solicitations.
