UNSPSC 39121718: Cable splicing kits

UNSPSC 39121718 Cable splicing kits (Commodity) covers electrical connection materials and assembly kits that state and local governments procure as part of broader electrical supply and infrastructure contracts. Recent solicitations under this code show that purchasing entities buy cable splicing kits alongside wider arrays of electrical products—conduit, raceways, wire, lighting fixtures, ballasts, and controls—rather than as standalone line items. The code appears primarily in multi-category electrical supply agreements serving maintenance departments, school districts, transportation authorities, and state cooperative purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Northside Independent School District in Texas), county transportation authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority in California), and state-level cooperative purchasing programs (Texas Department of Information Resources).

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Florida, and California, with participation from broader cooperative purchasing frameworks that span multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include Pinellas County School District's Invitation to Bid #26-AM-008 for electrical supplies across 27 categories with bids due March 27, 2026 and an approximate annual contract value of $950,000; the Texas Department of Information Resources' Master Cooperative Contract (COOP2026SOL-00008) for cabling services and related products with proposals due September 24, 2026, which historically generated $11.1 million to $12.0 million annually across participating entities; Northside Independent School District's IFB2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, and supplies with bids due July 1, 2026; and Orange County Transportation Authority's RFQ 250243 for industrial electrical supplies with quotes due March 30, 2026 under a $10,000 one-year contract. Cable splicing kits appear to compete for allocation alongside broader electrical components, with pricing typically set by discount percentages off published catalogs or as part of fixed-price firm agreements.
