UNSPSC 39121403: Locking plug

An electrical wiring device that employs a locking mechanism, such as insert and twist.

UNSPSC 39121403 Locking plug is a Commodity code. State and local governments use it to procure specialized electrical connectors and fastening hardware—ground clamps, connector bolts, terminal blocks, and yoke plates—for power distribution infrastructure, traffic signal systems, and facility electrical maintenance. The code spans both small consumable items purchased through competitive quote cycles and larger electrical equipment categories bundled into as-needed supply contracts. Issuing bodies include city transportation and utilities departments (Austin Energy, Lubbock Power & Light), county governments (Harris County, DeKalb County), school districts (Pinellas County, Northside Independent School District, Gwinnett County Public Schools), transit authorities (Trinity Metro, Orange County Transportation Authority), and consolidated city-county governments (Columbus Consolidated Government). Many jurisdictions establish annual or multi-year blanket-purchase agreements, master service agreements, or IDIQ contracts to consolidate small recurring buys under a single award, while others issue individual IFQs or ITBs for specific quantities of components.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas (City of Austin, Harris County, Trinity Metro, Lubbock Power & Light, Northside Independent School District, Galveston County), Georgia (DeKalb County, Peachtree City Airport Authority, Gwinnett County Public Schools), and Florida (Pinellas County School District). Representative opportunities include the City of Austin's IFQ 6200 AJC1026 (October 23, 2026 due date) soliciting multiple traffic signal cable types with UV rating and IMSA specifications; Austin Energy's IFQ 1100 CPG1088 (October 7, 2026) requesting 250 ground clamps with BURNDY or SEFCOR manufacturer options; Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB 27-0012 (October 28, 2026) covering 487 line items of electrical fixtures, parts, and supplies on an as-needed basis over two years with three optional renewals; and Lubbock Power & Light's quote request 26-7012-ELD (July 15, 2026) for anchor rods and 350 KCM copper cable. Smaller transactional buys appear sporadically—the City of Philadelphia's June 2026 micro purchase of surge protector extension cords and the City of Austin's September 2026 quote request for 125 connector bolts. Cooperative purchasing vehicles occasionally surface; Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (June 16, 2026) represents a multi-jurisdictional procurement framework spanning Washington counties and other public entities nationwide. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer—Austin consistently prioritizes HUB and M/WBE vendors on initial solicitation rounds before broadening distribution, while City Colleges of Chicago applies 25% MBE and 7% WBE participation goals on a job order contract for low-voltage electrical work.
