UNSPSC 31152304: Copper or copper alloy wire

A type of wire made with the main material of copper or copper alloy.

UNSPSC 31152304 Copper or copper alloy wire is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers electrical and communications infrastructure components procured as part of broader law enforcement and public-safety equipment packages. The single recent opportunity on record—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026—solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of a multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle that includes Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and extends to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The scope suggests that copper wire components are being bundled within larger law enforcement technology and infrastructure solutions rather than procured as standalone commodity purchases, which is atypical for this code tier and may indicate either narrow recent activity or taggging misalignment between the solicitation's broader scope and the UNSPSC classification applied.

The geographic footprint reflected in the source is limited to Washington state and the Sourcewell cooperative's national reach, with no additional state-level or regional procurement signals identified. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, manages the cooperative procurement framework, though the specific products or vendors aligned with the copper wire commodity have not been identified in available documentation. No set-aside designations, award values, or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in the solicitation materials. The reliance on a single cooperative vehicle for the recent opportunity record suggests that copper or copper alloy wire procurement under this code may be episodic or that state and local jurisdictions are sourcing these components through broader technology and equipment cooperative agreements rather than through direct commodity RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs.
