UNSPSC 39122108: Guy wire anchor rod

Steel rod used at the penetration section of guy. It is used in regions where the grounding section of the earth wire are easily corroded or at locations at which concrete block is used as the guy anchor block.

UNSPSC 39122108 Guy wire anchor rod is a Commodity code reflecting narrow procurement activity centered on components for lightning protection and utility infrastructure systems. State and local governments buy anchor rods and related grounding hardware primarily as parts of turnkey lightning protection installations at municipal facilities and utility infrastructure. The work solicited under this code spans specialized electrical contracting services where rods serve as fastening elements within larger grounding and air-terminal systems. Issuing bodies include county commissions, municipal utilities, school districts, and city departments managing public buildings and utility assets. The typical buyer is either a facilities or public-works department with responsibility for critical infrastructure protection, or a utility company managing transmission and distribution assets.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, and Florida. Hall County, Georgia's IFB #025-47 (posted August 2026, due September 17, 2026) sought turnkey lightning protection system design and installation at three fire stations, requiring NFPA 780 and UL 96A compliance and a general contractor licensed in Georgia with documented commercial lightning protection experience. Lubbock Power & Light, a Texas municipal utility, issued a quote request (July 8, 2026) for 30 anchor rods, 3/4-inch by 10-foot with twin eyes and 23,000 LBF ultimate tensile strength, alongside 2,000 feet of 350 KCM copper cable—a representative utility procurement for transmission line hardware. The City of Tampa issued an ITB (April 2026) for lightning protection installation at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy Facility, estimated at $190,700 to $200,000 and designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount available. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas solicited electrical equipment and supplies (IFB posted June 8, 2026, due July 1, 2026) but provided minimal scope detail. The code shows focused activity in specialized electrical contracting and utility procurement; anchor rod orders typically appear as line items within larger lightning protection or grounding system packages rather than as standalone commodity purchases.
