UNSPSC 39122117: Strain pole suspension yoke

Fitting used to support strain pole that reduces the tension of conductor hung on suspension insulator string by installing at arm.

UNSPSC 39122117 Strain pole suspension yoke (Commodity) covers hardware components and assemblies used to suspend and support electrical conductors and communications cables on utility poles and structures. State and local governments buy strain pole suspension yokes as part of electrical distribution system maintenance, overhead transmission line construction, and infrastructure upgrades—typically bundled with anchor rods, cable suspension hardware, and related poleline components sourced through municipal utilities, public power districts, school districts, and transit authorities performing capital projects or routine system replacements.

Recent opportunities show municipal utilities and school districts as primary buyers. Lubbock Power & Light (a Texas municipal utility) requested quotations for 30 anchor rods with twin eyes (Chance Cat #C200-0057 or ACLEAN Cat #J7530CPR) rated at 23,000 LBF ultimate tensile strength, due July 15, 2026 via RFQ 26-7012-ELD; pricing was firm for ten days, and delivery time was a deciding factor. Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District in Texas issued a design-build RFQ (26-023C) for assessment, design, demolition, replacement, and installation of site light poles at Byron P. Steele II High School, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference held June 16, 2026, an RFQ response deadline of July 2, 2026, and an estimated project value of $1.6 million covering thirteen new pole bases with LED fixtures, six LED fixture replacements, and electrical work. The City of Austin issued IFQ 1100 BAS1092 seeking ten units of insulator guy strain fiberglass rods (80,000 lbs ultimate strength, eye-eye fittings with shackles, 20-foot length) with a May 19, 2026 quote deadline. Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Lubbock, Cibolo, Austin) and Florida (Orlando), with Texas showing the highest volume of recent solicitations among municipal utilities and independent school districts pursuing pole replacement and electrical distribution upgrades.
