UNSPSC 31201502: Electrical insulating tape

UNSPSC 31201502 Electrical insulating tape is a Commodity code that encompasses the purchase of electrical supplies and equipment, including tape, wire, boxes, conduit, lighting fixtures, and related components that state and local governments buy through both catalog discount contracts and as-needed service arrangements. The recent solicitations show that state and local issuing bodies use this code broadly to cover not just specialized insulating tape but comprehensive electrical supply procurement—including parts, equipment, and labor services—through renewable multi-year agreements. Soliciting bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio; Donna ISD in Texas), municipalities (Town of Berlin, Connecticut; City of Phoenix), county purchasing cooperatives (Bergen County, New Jersey; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority). The procurement mix reflects both catalog discount awards to multiple vendors and on-call service contracts for municipalities and districts that need responsive, localized electrical support.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Connecticut, Arizona, New Jersey, and Georgia, with the most active and recent solicitations appearing in the Texas school-district and cooperative-purchasing space. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative posted a $4.854 million catalog discount bid (ELEC2628) due May 28, 2026, seeking electrical supplies with a two-year award period; Northside ISD San Antonio issued an IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services due July 1, 2026; and Donna ISD in Cameron County, Texas, solicited electrical and plumbing supplies through RFP 011326-875 due April 8, 2026, with contract effective September 1, 2026. The Town of Berlin, Connecticut, posted RFP #2026-30 due June 25, 2026, for on-call electrical services with a two-year term commencing July 2026. Bergen County, New Jersey, through the New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, issued a cooperative bid (BC-Bid-26-28) due May 7, 2026, for electrical supplies and equipment with MBE, WBE, VBE, and SBE participation actively encouraged. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 26-FMD-012 for electrical parts and supplies (due July 9, 2025, for a three-year term beginning October 1, 2025) requiring local stocking distributors with 48-hour delivery capability. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority solicited electrical systems replacement planning and design services (RFP PE92200RFP2026000000078) due April 22, 2026, for a $12 million project scope that exceeds typical tape procurement but was tagged to this commodity code.
