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 that captures a narrow product line — physical protective covers, sleeves, and barriers for electrical cables and wiring — but recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly tied to this specific component. The few opportunities posted under or near this code span school districts, transit authorities, and municipalities, and they typically embed cable protection as one line item within much broader electrical supplies, cabling services, or infrastructure procurement. Rather than standing alone as a distinct procurement category, cable protection plates appear as ancillary products within larger structured cabling, fiber optic, or electrical distribution projects.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Arizona, with scattered activity in Georgia and California. Representative solicitations illustrate the challenge: Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued IFB 2026098 for general electrical equipment, parts, and supplies (due July 1, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued RFP 26043-DST for CCTV-LAN cabling services with structured cabling and fiber optic components (due April 24, 2026); the City of Charlotte (North Carolina) issued RFP 269-2026-189 for comprehensive low-voltage cabling installation services across citywide facilities (due May 18, 2026); and the City of Long Beach Department of Public Works re-bid the City Fiber Expansion Project (R-7231) involving conduit, fiber cable, and related infrastructure (due April 2, 2026). None of these solicitations highlight cable protection plates as a primary deliverable. The code shows no recent dedicated opportunities for the commodity itself; pursuit is viable only when bundled within larger electrical supplies or structured cabling contracts where the component is specified as part of project materials.
