UNSPSC 39121465: Flexible braid

Flexible braid with or without ferrules is used for bonding, grounding and connecting moving electrical parts.

UNSPSC 39121465 Flexible braid, a Commodity code, covers flexible braided cable and wiring materials that state and local governments procure for electrical infrastructure maintenance, traffic signal installation, and utility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing multi-conductor traffic signal cables with UV ratings, coaxial cables, shielded pairs, and related braided conduit materials in quantities ranging from thousands of feet to hundreds of units, all specified to industry standards such as IMSA and meeting outdoor installation requirements. Issuing bodies include municipal transportation and public-works departments, county utility authorities, school districts, and regional transit agencies. The code activity clusters around cable and connector supplies for traffic systems, electrical distribution, communications infrastructure, and facility maintenance across multiple facility types—parks, courthouses, airports, schools, and utility operations centers.

Geographically, recent opportunities concentrate in Texas (City of Austin, Harris County, Lubbock Power & Light, Galveston County, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio), Florida (Pinellas County School District), and Georgia (Peachtree City Airport Authority, DeKalb County, Columbus Consolidated Government), with secondary activity in Wisconsin, California, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Austin Transportation & Public Works Department IFQ 6200 AJC1026 requesting 15,000 feet of 5-conductor traffic signal cable, 5,000 feet of 7-conductor cable, 12,500 feet of composite coax cable, and 12,000 feet of shielded cable with October 23, 2026 quotes due and a requirement for authorized-dealer status and one year of prior agency experience; Harris County Precinct 3 ITB 260248 for electrical parts and related items on an as-needed basis beginning January 1, 2027, with bids due October 26, 2026; and Columbus Consolidated Government RFB 27-0012 for 487 line items of electrical fixtures, parts, and supplies including conduit, cable, ballasts, and connectors spanning multiple facility types across a two-year contract with renewal options, bids due October 28, 2026. Activity shows sustained demand for compliant, UV-rated, code-specified cabling materials supplied through both targeted HUB/M/WBE outreach and open-market competitive processes.
