UNSPSC 31201502: Electrical insulating tape

UNSPSC 31201502 Electrical insulating tape, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line but appears in procurement activity focused on broader electrical parts, services, and infrastructure needs across state and local government. State and local buyers solicit this code most often as part of larger electrical equipment, parts, and supplies contracts rather than as a standalone tape purchase. The mix of issuing bodies includes county precincts (Harris County Precinct 3), school districts (Pinellas County School District, Northside Independent School District), city colleges (City Colleges of Chicago), counties (DeKalb County), municipalities (Town of Berlin, Connecticut), transit and infrastructure authorities (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority), and cooperative purchasing consortia (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). Representative work includes on-call electrical services and maintenance for county facilities and schools, electrical low-voltage job order contracts for IT/AV and security systems across district facilities, and comprehensive electrical infrastructure and system upgrades at major facilities. The scope frequently encompasses repair, maintenance, and installation services for electrical systems and components, often bundled with materials, parts, and equipment procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, and the Chicago metropolitan area, with scattered additional opportunities in Connecticut and Texas. Recent opportunities include Harris County Precinct 3's ITB for electrical parts and related items (due October 26, 2026), Pinellas County School District's RFP for electrical maintenance and repair services including installation, testing, and 24/7 emergency response (estimated $400,000, due October 8, 2026), City Colleges of Chicago's electrical low-voltage job order contract for IT/AV systems, security, and access control across district facilities (maximum $5 million over 60 months, due October 21, 2026), DeKalb County's ITB for on-call electrical services (due September 17, 2026), and Northside Independent School District's IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (due July 1, 2026). A cooperative purchasing vehicle at Region 7 estimated expenditures of $4,854,470 for catalog electrical supplies over two years (award period June 18, 2026–June 18, 2028). The code shows consistent activity across multiple jurisdictions and contract structures—as-needed agreements, job order contracts, and multi-year supply arrangements—suggesting steady baseline demand for electrical materials and services in maintenance and operations contexts.
