UNSPSC 31152000: Security wire

UNSPSC 31152000 Security wire, a Class code, covers wire and cable used in security fencing, utility conductor systems, and gate infrastructure that state and local governments procure for wildlife management, utilities, water services, and municipal property protection. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span wildlife and parks departments, municipal utilities, and city water authorities. The scope of work includes barbed-wire fencing systems for land management and containment, utility-grade conductor wire and cable for electrical distribution, and ancillary hardware for gate and perimeter security. Recent solicitations show governments buying finished fencing materials (wire, posts, clips, gates) supplied on blanket contracts with labor performed by service providers, as well as bulk conductor wire and cable to utilities' exact technical and compliance specifications, including U.S.-manufactured materials meeting ASTM and IEEE standards.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, and North Carolina.
