UNSPSC 39121468: Input output connector cover

Protective cover used with electrical plugs or connectors.

UNSPSC 39121468 Input output connector cover is a Commodity code covering electrical connectors and connection components that state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance, utility operations, and facilities upgrades. Recent solicitations reveal that this code captures a mix of connector types—ground clamps, bolted aluminum connectors, terminal connectors rated for high-amperage service—alongside broader electrical supplies categories where connectors appear as line items within larger, less-specialized procurements. The issuing bodies are diverse: municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), city transportation departments and energy divisions (Austin Energy, Austin Transportation & Public Works), county utilities and facilities offices (Harris County, Columbus Consolidated Government), and school districts (Pinellas County, Northside Independent School District). Most recent opportunities frame connector procurement as a subset of standing electrical-supply contracts or as-needed blanket purchase orders rather than dedicated connector-focused solicitations.

Activity under this code spans Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with Texas showing the heaviest concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Austin's IFQ 1100 CPG1082 for 50 units of plate rectangle yokes (Hubbell or MVA Power manufacturer, due September 9, 2026) and the same city's IFQ 1100 BAS1102 for 125 units of 45-degree aluminum terminal connectors for 2500 MCM AAC cables rated 3000 amps (five qualified manufacturers, due September 29, 2026), both pursuing HUB/M/WBE vendors first before broader posting. Harris County's ITB 260248 for electrical parts and related items as needed (due October 26, 2026, beginning January 1, 2027) and Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB 27-0012 for 487 line items of electrical fixtures, parts, and supplies (due October 28, 2026, two-year term with three renewal options) represent the broader supply-category side of the market. Lubbock Power & Light's July 2026 equipment quote request for ground rods, anchor rods, and 350 KCM copper cable illustrates utility-sector demand. Most solicitations operate on FOB Destination, firm pricing, 30-day payment terms, and target the lowest responsive bid meeting specifications; HUB and M/WBE set-asides or preferences appear in City of Austin quotes but not uniformly across other jurisdictions.
