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) encompasses tensioning and support hardware for electric utility poles and transmission lines, including yoke plates, transmission hardware, turnbuckles, and related pole-mounted fastening assemblies. State and local governments procure these components through municipal utilities, electric cooperatives, transportation departments, and school districts managing infrastructure maintenance and replacement projects. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions using the code to upgrade aging transmission and distribution systems, particularly in response to storm damage and capacity expansion needs.

The issuing-body mix includes municipal electric utilities (City of Austin, Lubbock Power & Light, Kissimmee Utility Authority, City of College Park, Florida Keys Electric Cooperative), state transportation departments (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet), county public works departments (Seminole County), school districts (Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, Northside ISD), and special-purpose districts. Texas municipal utilities appear frequently as repeat buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Kentucky, with additional opportunities in Michigan and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Austin's IFQ for a 50K Adjustable Transmission Yoke Plate (due October 20, 2026, two-tiered SBE/M/WBE set-aside), Florida Keys Electric Cooperative's RFQ for transmission line material including insulators and hardware for an 11-mile 138 kV line reframe between Tavernier and Islamorada (due October 26, 2026, weighted evaluation on cost, quality, and availability), Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for high-temperature Aluminum Conductor Composite Core transmission conductor across three reconductor projects with staged deliveries through 2028 (due October 27, 2026, firm-fixed pricing with FEMA compliance), and Lubbock Power & Light's competitive three-quote request for 42 line items of electrical components and fasteners including lugs, bolts, insulators, and cables (due October 5, 2026, delivery time a deciding factor). Texas Government Code compliance, ERCOT critical infrastructure certifications, prevailing wage requirements under Davis-Bacon Act, performance bonding, and FOB destination freight-prepaid pricing are standard across the field.
