UNSPSC 39121420: Liquid tight connectors

UNSPSC 39121420 Liquid tight connectors is a Commodity code naming a single product line—metal connectors that seal electrical conduit and cable entries against moisture and dust ingress in outdoor and industrial applications. State and local governments procure these connectors as discrete components embedded in larger electrical infrastructure and building projects. Recent activity shows demand driven by traffic signal system upgrades, utility distribution modernization, theatrical and architectural lighting installations, and routine maintenance of electrical systems across public facilities. The issuing bodies span cities (Austin, Philadelphia), counties (Harris, DeKalb, Galveston, Orange County), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Orange County Transportation Authority, Trinity Metro), school districts (Northside Independent, Pinellas County, Gwinnett County), and consolidated governments (Columbus). City of Austin Transportation & Public Works is a repeat buyer, posting multiple electrical component solicitations including connectors and connector-adjacent items over recent months.

The City of Austin Transportation & Public Works Department issued IFQ6200AJC1026 in October 2026 requesting quotes on various traffic signal cables—including 15,000 feet of 5-conductor signal cable, 7-conductor cable, composite coax cable, and shielded twisted pair cable—all UV-rated for outdoor installation and delivered on reels compatible with City reel support, with quotes due October 23, 2026. The City of Austin Energy also issued IFQ1100CPG1088 in September 2026 requesting 250 units of ground clamps (#2/0 to #250 MCM EL-172, BURNDY or SEFCOR manufacture) for electrical distribution, with quotes due October 7, 2026. Pinellas County School District solicited theater lighting renovation services across three high schools in September 2026, encompassing removal and installation of theatrical lighting systems with programming and training—a project valued at approximately $1,680,000 with bids due in March 2026 (note: deadline appears to be from an earlier posting cycle). City Colleges of Chicago issued Job Order Contract MWJ2606 in September 2026 for electrical low-voltage work including IT/AV systems, security, access control, and CCTV, with a base term of 60 months or $5 million contract value, whichever comes first, and bids due October 21, 2026. Activity concentrates in Texas (Austin, Harris County, Galveston, Lubbock Power & Light, Tarrant County via Trinity Metro), Florida (Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, DeKalb County in Georgia), and Illinois (Chicago). No recent state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles or regional aggregators have posted solicitations specifically tagged to this code in the available records, though several jurisdictions note consideration of state-volume pricing in evaluation.
