UNSPSC 39122105: Electrical spacer

An insulator inserted between conductors to prevent direct contact between them.

UNSPSC 39122105 Electrical spacer, a Commodity code, names a narrow product category that state and local governments procure primarily as components within larger electrical infrastructure projects rather than as standalone items. Recent solicitations show that the code is tagged for materials that function as insulators, spacers, or related positioning components in transmission line, distribution system, and utility equipment contexts—particularly in transmission line reconductoring, line reframing, and substation work. The issuing bodies are municipal utilities and electric cooperatives (Lubbock Power & Light, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida Keys Electric Cooperative, City of Austin Energy), a city power department (College Park Power Department), and school districts and public works departments procuring electrical hardware and equipment. The code sees activity across Texas, Florida, and states with municipal utility infrastructure, with a concentration in Texas municipal utilities issuing competitive quotes and invitations for bid on electrical components and materials.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code include the City of Austin's IFQ 1100 AGM1028 for a 50K Adjustable Transmission Yoke Plate (RFQ, due October 20, 2026), the Florida Keys Electric Cooperative's FKECBID2618 for materials to reframe and replace insulators on an 11-mile 138 kilovolt transmission line between Tavernier and Islamorada Substations (competitive bid process, due October 26, 2026), Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB 26-055-JG for Aluminum Conductor Composite Core transmission conductor wire for three transmission line reconductor projects (IFB, due October 27, 2026 with installation support services and spare wire), Lubbock Power & Light's 26-7017-ELD for 42 line items of specialized electrical components including lugs, bolts, fasteners, ground rods, couplers, insulators, and cables (three-quote competitive process, due October 5, 2026), and the City of Austin's IFQ 1100 CPG1085 for insulators (two-tiered set-aside-driven RFQ with small business and M/WBE preference, due September 25, 2026). The City of Austin uses a consistent two-tiered approach, initially reserving opportunities for certified SBEs and M/WBEs before opening to all vendors, while Texas municipal utilities employ competitive quote and three-quote processes emphasizing delivery time and firm pricing with FOB destination freight-prepaid terms.
