UNSPSC 39121421: Electrical connector assembly

UNSPSC 39121421 Electrical connector assembly, a Commodity code, sees active procurement across state and local jurisdictions for electrical components, hardware supplies, and related equipment supporting infrastructure maintenance and system upgrades. State and local governments use this code to source terminal rings, bolted connectors, loadbreak elbow kits, deadbreak components, and connector assemblies for utility distribution systems, facilities electrical work, transit infrastructure, and water reclamation facility upgrades. Issuing bodies span city utilities (Austin Energy, Lubbock Power & Light), county water and transportation departments (Hillsborough County Water Resources, Orange County Transportation Authority), municipal airport authorities (City of Atlanta Department of Aviation), and transit districts (Dallas Area Rapid Transit). Recent solicitations show a mix of small component purchases alongside larger electrical system replacement projects, with many jurisdictions bundling connector procurement into broader maintenance supplies or electrical equipment contracts rather than issuing standalone commodity RFQs. The code appears frequently in cooperative purchasing agreements and blanket purchase order frameworks where multiple vendors are awarded to serve diverse departmental needs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, California, and Georgia. The City of Austin has posted multiple quotations for specific connector types—bolted 45-degree aluminum connectors (IFQ 1100 BAS1086, due March 17, 2026) and loadbreak elbow kits (IFQ 1100 AGM1008, due April 20, 2026)—both seeking FOB Destination pricing from authorized distributors. Lubbock Power & Light solicited quotations for anchor rods and copper cable (ITQ 267012ELD, due July 15, 2026). The City of Milpitas issued a broad IFB for maintenance supplies spanning five categories including electrical conduit and related components (IFB 26-229, due July 23, 2026, with local purchasing preference and California prevailing wage requirements). Hillsborough County solicited mercury float switches for well and lift station operations (ITB-26-00138, due March 2, 2026, estimated value $60,000 over two years). Smaller quotations appear from the City of Philadelphia for surge protector extension cords (micro purchase B2626890) and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority for ring terminals (RFQ 2096786MDMP, due February 6, 2026). Work is typically awarded on lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder basis, with firm fixed pricing required and delivery timeframes ranging from immediate to 30 days.
