UNSPSC 39121431: Cable gland connector

A type of connector used to terminate cable and povide strain relief.

UNSPSC 39121431 Cable gland connector is a Commodity code that encompasses connectors, termination hardware, and related electrical junction components that state and local governments procure for utility systems, facilities maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, and operational support. Recent solicitations under this code show a divergence between the nominal commodity classification and actual buying patterns. While the code name suggests specialized cable gland connectors, the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly seeking cable gland connectors. Instead, it documents state and local procurement across a much broader spectrum of electrical equipment, supplies, and services—ranging from janitorial and MRO supplies at the City of Milpitas to specialized electrical components (anchor rods, copper cable, loadbreak elbows, and bolted connectors) at municipal utilities and transit authorities.

The issuing-body mix reflects typical state and local structure: municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), county water departments (Hillsborough County Water Resources, Riverside County), city purchasing offices (Austin, Philadelphia, Tybee Island), county schools (Pinellas County School District, Northside Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Donna ISD, Bibb County Public Schools), county governments (Portage County Wisconsin, Orange County Florida, Orange County Transportation Authority, Bergen County New Jersey), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Charlotte Area Transit System), and special-purpose districts (Eastern Municipal Water District). Activity spans Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin, with particular concentration in Texas jurisdictions and Florida school districts. Representative recent opportunities include Lubbock Power & Light's July 2026 quotation for anchor rods and 350 KCM copper cable (due July 15, 2026), the City of Austin's multiple March–April 2026 quotations for loadbreak elbows, bolted connectors, and elbow replacement kits, and Orange County Florida's April 2026 invitation for bids on electrical and mechanical upgrades at the Eastern Water Reclamation Facility. The code shows little relevant recent activity for cable gland connectors specifically; the mismatch between the nominal commodity scope and the actual procurements suggests tagging inconsistency within state and local UNSPSC assignment practices.
