UNSPSC 39122116: Overhead line link fitting

A metallic rod that has the egg shape that is bent in longitudinal direction to prevent the twist deformation of clamp on the overhead transmission and distribution line.

UNSPSC 39122116 Overhead line link fitting (Commodity) covers insulators, transmission line hardware, and pole-mounted electrical components that state and local utilities, municipal electric departments, and power cooperatives procure to construct, upgrade, and maintain overhead distribution and transmission infrastructure. Recent solicitations show active procurement of transmission conductor, insulator assemblies, pole-line hardware, and associated fastening and support materials across utility and municipal purchasing offices.

State and local utilities dominate this code's activity, including municipal electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light, City of College Park Power Department), regional power cooperatives (Florida Keys Electric Cooperative), and city-owned utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), alongside city purchasing offices managing utility infrastructure (City of Austin, City of Detroit Department of Public Works). Geographic concentration centers on Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia and Kentucky. Representative recent opportunities include Florida Keys Electric Cooperative's RFQ for materials to reframe and replace insulators on an 11-mile 138 kV transmission line between Tavernier and Islamorada, with quotes due October 26, 2026, evaluated on weighted scoring (Cost 50 points, Quality 25 points, Availability 25 points); Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for high-temperature Aluminum Conductor Composite Core transmission conductor wire across three reconductor projects with delivery dates between August 2027 and February 2028, bids due October 27, 2026; Lubbock Power & Light's multi-item competitive quote request for 42 line items of electrical components and materials (lugs, bolts, fasteners, insulators, cables, clamps) due October 5, 2026; and City of Austin's two-tiered IFQ for insulators and pole-line hardware (50K adjustable transmission yoke plate, TB JJ 50K assembly turnbuckle) with set-aside targeting to SBEs and M/WBEs, quotes due October 20 and September 24, 2026 respectively. Procurement vehicles include standard competitive quotes (RFQ), invitations for bid (IFB), and tiered solicitations with SBE/MBE set-asides commonly applied upfront before public posting.
