UNSPSC 39122120: Utility pole band

A band used to attach transformer, guys and others onto the electric pole in the overhead distribution line, and includes the hanger band.

UNSPSC 39122120 Utility pole band (Commodity) addresses hardware and attachment systems used to secure lines, cables, and equipment to utility poles on distribution networks. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through electric cooperative utilities and municipal electric systems acquiring equipment for pole maintenance, line clearance, and infrastructure auditing. The recent solicitations show that buying activity focuses on right-of-way vegetation management (clearing trees and debris from beneath energized distribution lines), pole replacement and relocation on distribution systems, joint use and streetlight attachment inventories, and utility locating services to map attachments on existing pole assets. Issuing bodies are principally electric cooperatives and municipal utilities in Florida—Glades Electric Cooperative, Keys Energy Services (City of Key West), and Orlando Utilities Commission—along with county and city departments procuring ancillary utility infrastructure work.

Florida dominates recent activity under the code, with four of six identified solicitations originating there. Glades Electric Cooperative posted an RFP on March 24, 2026 for right-of-way trimming and clearance across four job sites totaling over 3.5 million linear feet of transmission and distribution circuit maintenance, with proposals due April 23, 2026 via VendorLink and intent to award by May 4, 2026. Keys Energy Services issued specifications for a secondary easement pole replacement project involving installation of approximately 151 distribution poles and relocation of 145 customer service drops on its 13.8 kV system, with sealed proposals due October 23, 2026. Orlando Utilities Commission solicited a comprehensive joint use and streetlight attachments inventory audit of approximately 55,000 poles carrying over 77,000 foreign attachments and 35,000 light poles, with a proposal deadline of December 4, 2025 and a six-month completion target. Activity outside Florida includes City of College Station, Texas issuing an ITB for a new traffic signal installation and a CSP for utility relocation including waterline and sewer bore work under State Highway 6. Geographic spread is predominantly Florida (utility cooperative and municipal electric procurement), with secondary activity in Texas (municipal public works).
