UNSPSC 39131609: Cable protection plate

Plate to protect underground cable. Installed on the upper part in the conduit line

UNSPSC 39131609 Cable protection plate is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within electrical components and accessories. State and local governments buy cable protection plates and related wire management products as part of their broader procurement of electrical supplies and infrastructure equipment. The code appears in solicitations for electrical equipment bundles, cabling services, and electrical infrastructure support, where cable protection plates are typically bundled with conduit, raceways, fittings, wire management systems, patch panels, and other related accessories. Issuing bodies include school districts, transportation authorities, and state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Pinellas County School District and Northside Independent School District in Texas have both issued recent IFBs for electrical equipment and supplies that encompass cable management and protection products. The Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative contract for cabling services and related products explicitly names wire management systems and cable protection as in-scope items supporting data, video, and voice infrastructure. Pricing and responsiveness are primary evaluation drivers across these solicitations, with delivery speed, warranty guarantees, and availability of replacement parts common requirements.

Recent opportunities are geographically concentrated in Florida, Texas, and the Pacific Northwest. The Pinellas County School District (Florida) posted IFB 26AM008 for electrical supplies on September 28, 2026, with bids due March 27, 2026 and an estimated annual contract value of approximately $950,000, covering 27 categories of electrical products across districtwide locations.

The Orange County Transportation Authority (California) issued RFQ 250243 for industrial electrical supplies with a $10,000 initial budget and March 30, 2026 quote deadline.
