UNSPSC 31163101: Quick disconnects

UNSPSC 31163101 Quick disconnects (Commodity) covers electrical connection components and related supplies that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, infrastructure support, and operational needs. Recent opportunities show the code capturing broader electrical supply categories rather than quick disconnects in isolation—issuing bodies are soliciting connectors, data cabling products, wire management systems, patch panels, and miscellaneous electrical equipment alongside specialized fastening and connection hardware. School districts, transportation authorities, and state cooperative purchasing vehicles dominate the recent activity, with Pinellas County School District and Northside Independent School District in Texas issuing separate IFBs for districtwide electrical supplies, the Orange County Transportation Authority issuing an RFQ for industrial electrical supplies, and the Texas Department of Information Resources establishing a statewide cooperative contract for cabling services and related products including connectors and fiber boxes. Issuing bodies consistently require delivery to multiple locations, firm fixed pricing, manufacturer warranties with parts availability guarantees, and compliance with insurance, debarment, and economic-sanctions certifications.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Florida, and Washington state, with cooperative purchasing vehicles extending reach across multiple jurisdictions and public entities. Pinellas County School District (Florida) issued ITB 26AM008 on September 28, 2026 for approximately $950,000 annually in electrical supplies across 27 categories, with bids due March 27, 2026 and evaluation based on highest average discount to Tra-Ser SX Electrical pricing. Northside Independent School District (Texas) issued IFB2026098 on June 8, 2026 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with a July 1, 2026 bid deadline, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all vendors to respond or lose future business. Orange County Transportation Authority (California) issued RFQ 250243 on May 5, 2026 for industrial electrical supplies with a $10,000 one-year budget, a March 30, 2026 quote deadline, and sole evaluation on cost. Texas Department of Information Resources issued COOP2026SOL00008 on August 7, 2026 for a cooperative master contract encompassing cabling services and related products (including connectors and patch panels) across multiple Texas zones, with proposals due September 24, 2026 and historical annual volume ranging $11.1 million to $12.0 million.
