UNSPSC 39122114: Electrical bus way tap or bus tap

A fitting that is used to divergently connecting electrical cable in electrical wiring. In particular, it refers to the fitting to cross the electrical cable in cross-recessed format.

UNSPSC 39122114 Electrical bus way tap or bus tap (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent opportunities posted under 39122114 span transmission and distribution electrical infrastructure—transformers, conductor wire, insulators, poles, pedestals, breakaway bases, anchor bolts, fiberglass rods, lighting fixtures, and cabling systems—none of which are electrical bus way taps or bus taps. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code number does not reflect current commodity classifications in the opportunities block.

Issuing bodies are predominantly municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Florida Keys Electric Cooperative, City of College Park Power Department), city purchasing offices (Austin, Detroit, College Park), independent school districts (Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, Northside ISD), state transportation cabinets (Kentucky), and regional utilities (Orlando Utilities Commission, Seminole County). Texas jurisdictions dominate the recent activity, with additional procurement from Florida, Michigan, Georgia, and Kentucky. Representative solicitations include Florida Keys Electric Cooperative's RFQ FKECBID2618 (October 26, 2026 response deadline) for insulators and line hardware to reframe an 11-mile 138 kV transmission line; Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB 26-055-JG (October 27, 2026) for high-temperature aluminum conductor composite core wire across three transmission reconductor projects; City of Austin's IFQ 1100 CPG1085 (September 25, 2026) for insulators under a set-aside-driven two-tier process favoring SBEs and M/WBEs; and Lubbock Power & Light's 26-7012-ELD (July 15, 2026) for anchor rods and copper cable. Given the disconnect between code taxonomy and actual procurement scope, pursue this code only after confirming the issuing body's true commodity classification intent.
