UNSPSC 39121402: Electrical plugs

UNSPSC 39121402 Electrical plugs is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy electrical connectors, ground clamps, cable assemblies, terminal connectors, and component parts under this code—work that ranges from traffic signal cables and distribution system components to specialized high-amperage connectors for utility transmission. Recent solicitations show a mix of small-quantity quotations (250 units of ground clamps, 125 connector bolts) and larger as-needed supply contracts for electrical parts inventories. The issuing bodies span city utilities (Austin Energy, Lubbock Power & Light), county governments (Harris County, Orange County, DeKalb County), and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Orange County Transportation Authority), with school districts also active in theatrical and facility lighting systems that require electrical components. Activity is heaviest in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, though Connecticut, Wisconsin, Illinois, and California also show recent opportunities.

Recent representative solicitations include the City of Austin Transportation & Public Works Department's IFQ for various traffic signal cables (15,000 feet of 5-conductor cable, 5,000 feet of 7-conductor cable, and composite coax and shielded cable, due October 23, 2026); Austin Energy's quotation for 250 ground clamps rated #2/0 to #250 MCM (IFQ 1100 CPG1088, due October 7, 2026); and Lubbock Power & Light's quotation for 30 anchor rods with twin eyes and 2,000 feet of 350 KCM copper cable (due July 15, 2026). Harris County Precinct 3 posted an as-needed electrical parts ITB (due October 26, 2026) with minimal specification detail, and the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department awarded a three-year competitive sealed bid for 144 line items of electrical connectors and components (fuses, heat shrink tubing, power supplies, switches) from manufacturers including Panduit and Neutrik. Set-asides favor HUB and M/WBE vendors in Texas municipal solicitations; several Texas RFQs use tiered vendor notification (certified SBE/M/WBE first, then open posting if quotes are inadequate). Delivery windows typically range from 60 days FOB Destination to 4–10 days for as-needed stock supplies; award routinely goes to the lowest responsive bid. Contract terms run from single purchase orders to multi-year supply agreements with renewal options.
