UNSPSC 31151703: Lifting cables

UNSPSC 31151703 Lifting cables is a Commodity code that captures wire and cable products used in mechanical systems installation and utility infrastructure work. State and local governments are acquiring lifting cables as components within larger mechanical and electrical projects—specifically as part of wastewater lift station replacements, electrical feeder installations, and mechanical systems upgrades. The recent solicitations do not isolate lifting cables as standalone procurements; instead, they appear as embedded specifications within broader infrastructure and facilities projects managed by school districts and municipal utilities. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Pinellas County School District in Florida, Norwalk Public Schools in Connecticut, Klein Independent School District in Texas) and municipal utilities (City of Lubbock, Texas; Orlando Utilities Commission, Florida), along with city procurement divisions (City of Albany, Georgia). These jurisdictions are soliciting integrated construction and mechanical services where lifting cables form part of the electrical or mechanical specification rather than as line items themselves.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Pinellas County School District's lift station replacement at Dixie Hollins High School, ITB #26-CD-033 with an estimated value of approximately $485,000 and bids due August 31, 2026; Orlando Utilities Commission's Preferred Contractor Network Program registration) and Texas (Klein ISD's mechanical services catalog discount with proposals due October 2, 2026; City of Lubbock's mechanical and electrical services RFP with proposals due August 12, 2026). The Pinellas County School District lift station project specifies two 10-horsepower submersible pumps, new three-phase electrical feeder infrastructure with #6 AWG and #10 ground conductors, and compliance with AWWA standards and the 2023 Florida Building Code, though lifting cables are not separately itemized in available documentation. The code shows little standalone recent activity; opportunities are embedded within larger mechanical-electrical construction or facilities-upgrade procurements rather than standing alone as cable supply or installation contracts.
