UNSPSC 31102701: Aluminum squeeze casting

Squeeze casting made of aluminum

UNSPSC 31102701 Aluminum squeeze casting, a Commodity code, describes metallic conductor and composite-core transmission wire products that state and local utilities procure for electrical infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations under this code reflect actual procurement of high-temperature aluminum conductor composite core (ACCC) wire for transmission line upgrades and reconductoring work. State and local utilities — particularly regional power authorities — are the primary issuing bodies, acquiring conductor wire in bulk quantities delivered on reels, often paired with installation support services and performance specifications tied to federal disaster-assistance or grid-modernization grant programs. The scope encompasses firm-fixed pricing, performance bonding, and compliance with federal environmental and labor standards, indicating that utilities treat these procurements as capital projects with stringent delivery windows and material certifications.

Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida posted the most recent opportunity under this code: IFB 26055JG, posted September 24, 2026, with bids due October 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST via electronic submission. The solicitation covers approximately 173,000 feet of ACCC transmission conductor wire across three separate reconductoring projects (lines 04-0112, 04-0609, 04-0410), with delivery windows spanning August 2027 through February 2028, plus 11,000 feet of system spare wire and installation support services. The contract incorporates FEMA reimbursement rider provisions and requires 100 percent performance bonding post-award. Pricing must follow a two-tiered format with fixed base product price and adjustable tariff-cost component with defined caps. The IFB represents a single, large-volume capital purchase typical of utility infrastructure refresh in the Southeast, where transmission system modernization and capacity expansion remain active procurement drivers.
