UNSPSC 31151710: Synthetic cable

A very strong thick rope made of synthetic material, with applications in construction and security. It is non-abrasive and very resistant.

UNSPSC 31151710 Synthetic cable is a Commodity code describing electrical and utility conduit, wire, and cable installation work that state and local governments procure for infrastructure upgrades, facility replacements, and utility system expansions. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show work ranging from directional-bore HDPE conduit installation between transformers to comprehensive lift station replacements involving force mains, gravity lines, and associated electrical feeder work; however, the majority of recent opportunities involve broader mechanical and electrical services rather than synthetic cable procurement or installation in isolation. State and local issuing bodies include school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Klein ISD in Texas, Norwalk Public Schools in Connecticut), municipalities (City of Albany Georgia, City of Lubbock Texas, City of Norwalk Connecticut), and utility commissions (Orlando Utilities Commission). Pinellas County Schools appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple postings for the Dixie Hollins High School lift station replacement ITB #26-CD-033.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas. The City of Albany, Georgia posted ITB PE64750NONST2027000000215 for 1–2 inch HDPE primary power conduit installation via directional bore with bids due September 8, 2026, while Pinellas County Schools (posted August 18 and September 28, 2026) solicited sealed electronic bids for lift station replacement including new force mains, gravity sewer, water and fire distribution lines, and electrical feeder infrastructure (estimated $485,000, bids due August 31, 2026, mandatory pre-bid August 12, 2026 at Dixie Hollins High School in St. Petersburg). The City of Lubbock issued RFP 26-19769-YB (proposals due August 12, 2026) for mechanical, electrical, welding, and machinist services including stainless steel welding and electrical installations and repairs for water utility facilities. Prime contractors must hold relevant trade licenses (Florida Utility Contractor licensing for the Pinellas project, for example) and demonstrate five years of comparable project experience; subcontractors must be licensed within their respective trades and pre-approved.
