UNSPSC 26121851 Multi core screened 600 volt automotive cable is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses structured cabling installation and supply services across diverse facility types. The County of San Mateo's RFP for structured cabling and installation services demonstrates that this code covers the procurement of multi-strand copper and fiber cables (UTP Cat 6a, OM3 and OM4 configurations ranging from 24-strand to 144-strand) bundled with comprehensive installation labor, technical oversight, and compliance validation. County governments and other local jurisdictions use this code to solicit turnkey cabling solutions on an as-needed basis, with per-foot pricing models that bundle materials and labor. Issuing bodies are primarily county purchasing departments and information technology departments, which oversee facility-wide infrastructure upgrades and ongoing telecommunications maintenance across multiple departments and locations.
