UNSPSC 39121449: Wire or cable compression splice

Wire connector that uses compression to piece together splices.

UNSPSC 39121449 Wire or cable compression splice is a Commodity code describing the fastening and joining hardware state and local governments procure for electrical distribution and transmission infrastructure, though recent solicitations show this code capturing a broader scope of traffic signal cables, electrical components, and low-voltage materials than the nominal product name suggests. State and local buyers under this code include cities (particularly Austin Transportation & Public Works and Austin Energy), counties (Harris County Precinct 3, Pinellas County School District), municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), sourcing specialized cable assemblies, ground clamps, connectors, and related electrical hardware for maintenance, repair, and infrastructure upgrades. The kinds of work being solicited include traffic signal cable supply (five-conductor and seven-conductor with rip cord, composite coax, and shielded twisted pair to IMSA specifications), ground clamps rated for utility-scale amperage (2/0 to 250 MCM), connector bolts for high-amperage power distribution (3000-amp 45-degree aluminum terminals), and general electrical parts and supplies on as-needed or indefinite-delivery bases. Work requires UV rating for outdoor exposure, compliance with electrical codes (NEC, OSHA, NFPA, Florida Building Code), and in some cases delivery on specific reel configurations with mileage markings and material safety documentation.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The City of Austin has posted multiple quote requests in the past two months—IFQ6200AJC1026 for various traffic signal cables (due October 23, 2026), IFQ1100CPG1088 for ground clamps (due October 7, 2026), and IFQ1100AGM1022 for bolted straight aluminum connectors—typically with SBE/M/WBE vendor first-look periods and tiered online posting if quotes prove inadequate. Harris County Precinct 3 issued ITB 260248 for electrical parts and related items on an as-needed basis (due October 26, 2026), and Lubbock Power & Light requested quotations for anchor rods and 350 KCM copper cable under RFQ 267012ELD (due July 15, 2026). Pinellas County School District has also appeared in this code's activity, though most recent Pinellas work visible in the data centers on theater lighting and electrical maintenance services rather than wire and cable splices per se. Award criteria typically emphasize lowest responsive bid meeting specification, with payment within 30 days of properly documented delivery FOB Destination and no guaranteed minimum quantities.
