UNSPSC 31151806: Laminated wire

A group of wire strands bundled or twisted together as a laminated functional unit.

UNSPSC 31151806 Laminated wire is a Commodity code tracking purchases of wire assemblies with insulation bonded to conductor surfaces. State and local governments buy laminated wire primarily as components within larger utility infrastructure projects—specifically as part of electrical feeder installations, control panel wiring, and conduit systems for water utilities, wastewater treatment facilities, and school district infrastructure upgrades. The issuing bodies pursuing this code span school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Klein ISD, Norwalk Public Schools), municipal utilities (Orlando Utilities Commission, City of Lubbock water utility), cities (City of Albany, City of Norwalk), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Representative recent solicitations show electrical work as a subordinate component of broader mechanical and infrastructure replacement projects—for example, Pinellas County School District's lift station replacement project (ITB #26-CD-033, bids due August 31, 2026, estimated value $485,000) specifies three #6 AWG conductors plus one #10 ground conductor for a new 208-volt, three-phase, 10-horsepower feeder serving the replacement pump and control panel, and the City of Norwalk's school electrical upgrade project (sealed bids due May 15, 2026) includes comprehensive electrical rewiring as part of HVAC and infrastructure modernization.

Activity clusters in Florida and Texas, with secondary solicitation activity in Georgia and Connecticut. Pinellas County Schools has posted the same lift station replacement bid twice (August 18 and September 28 postings, both due August 31, 2026), indicating either reposting or addenda cycles typical of utility infrastructure work. The Orlando Utilities Commission's Preferred Contractor Network registration (posted September 7, 2026) solicits 17 technical disciplines including electrical, though the PCN program is primarily a vendor-qualification mechanism rather than a direct procurement vehicle. The City of Lubbock's mechanical, electrical, welding, and machinist services RFP (proposals due August 12, 2026) covers onsite and shop fabrication for water utility facilities with automatic annual renewal and multiple award tiers, suggesting recurring utility service demand. No specific dollar volumes, set-asides, or incumbent vendor names are disclosed at the code level.
