UNSPSC 39121718: Cable splicing kits

UNSPSC 39121718 Cable splicing kits, a Commodity code, encompasses materials and hardware consumed in low-voltage telecommunications and data infrastructure work — fiber optic and copper cable termination, splicing, testing, and cabling system installation across municipal and educational networks. State and local governments procure these kits as line items within broader structured cabling, network infrastructure, and broadband expansion projects, most commonly through school districts, city departments, transit authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that serve multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity shows school districts and transit authorities as the dominant buyers. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) posted IFB 2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services with bids due July 1, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued RFP 26043-DST for CCTV-LAN cabling services including structured cabling installation and fiber optic materials, due April 24, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $500,000 and mandatory Small Business Encouragement Program participation; and the City of Charlotte, North Carolina posted RFP 269-2026-189 for citywide on-call cabling services spanning data cabling, fiber optic installations, and network infrastructure across all municipal facilities, with proposals due May 18, 2026, and an aspirational 10 percent minority, women-owned, and small business enterprise goal. The State of Texas Department of Information Resources is soliciting cabling services and related products through a cooperative RFO (COOP2026SOL-00008) with a June 12, 2026 response deadline and a 26 percent VetHUB subcontracting goal. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona, with additional procurement signaled in California and Georgia. The code shows sustained demand from infrastructure modernization, technology refresh cycles at school districts and transit systems, and state-level cooperative contract programs that extend availability to smaller municipalities and special-purpose districts.
