UNSPSC 39121445: Twist on wire connector

UNSPSC 39121445 Twist on wire connector is a Commodity-level code that encompasses electrical connectors, cable terminals, and related hardware used in power distribution, signal transmission, and structural grounding applications across state and local infrastructure. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through as-needed supply contracts and project-specific installations. Recent solicitations show demand for ground clamps rated for high-amperage transmission (250 MCM and above), traffic signal cable connectors and assemblies, connector bolts for high-capacity aluminum cable termination, and general-purpose electrical connectors and hardware. City and county purchasing departments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities (transit agencies, utility commissions, airport authorities) issue the majority of opportunities. Issuing bodies include the City of Austin Transportation & Public Works Department, Harris County Precinct 3, Pinellas County School District, Austin Energy, Columbus Consolidated Government, Northside Independent School District, Orange County Transportation Authority, and Galveston County. The code shows activity across Texas (Austin, Harris County, Galveston County, Lubbock), Georgia (DeKalb County, Atlanta, Peachtree City), Florida (Pinellas County), and California (Orange County), with Texas representing the highest concentration of recent solicitations.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Austin IFQ 6200 AJC1026 for various traffic signal cables (15,000 feet of 5-conductor cable, 5,000 feet of 7-conductor cable, 12,500 feet of composite coax, and 12,000 feet of twisted-pair shielded cable), quoted October 23, 2026, with quotes initially limited to HUB or M/WBE vendors before broader posting; the City of Austin IFQ 1100 CPG1088 for 250 units of ground clamps (BURNDY GBM29-W or SEFCOR GTC-14B-T-1-3/4), quoted October 7, 2026, under the same tiered-distribution model; the City of Austin IFQ 1100 BAS1102 for 125 units of 45-degree aluminum terminal connectors (356-T6 cast aluminum, 3000-amp rating) joining 2500 MCM AAC cables, quoted September 29, 2026; and Lubbock Power & Light quote request 26-7012-ELD for anchor rods and 350 KCM copper cable (25 KV rated, 260 mils EPR insulation), quoted July 15, 2026. Most City of Austin opportunities employ a preference strategy favoring certified SBE or M/WBE vendors on initial distribution, with broadening to all registered vendors only if inadequate quotes are received. Delivery timelines typically run 60 days from order placement (FOB Destination, prepaid), and pricing is unit-based with all freight and discounts included. Award generally flows to the lowest responsive offer meeting published specifications and minimum vendor qualifications.
