UNSPSC 39131703: Cable ladder

UNSPSC 39131703 Cable ladder is a Commodity code that covers cable support and routing hardware used in electrical and telecommunications infrastructure. State and local governments purchase cable ladders primarily as components within larger electrical equipment and facility maintenance contracts. The code sees activity across school districts, transit authorities, and municipal procurement offices issuing equipment and parts agreements through IFBs and RFPs. Solicitations typically bundle cable ladder with broader electrical equipment, supplies, and repair services rather than as standalone procurement; the work is embedded in comprehensive maintenance and infrastructure support frameworks managed by facilities and transportation departments.

Recent opportunities show cable ladder activity concentrated in Texas and the Pacific Northwest. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio) posted IFB 2026098 on June 8, 2026 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with a July 1, 2026 response date, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all vendors to resubmit to retain future business. Sourcewell (on behalf of Washington-state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline, available through cooperative purchasing to thousands of public entities nationwide. The City of Charlotte's RFP 269-2026-1988 for video monitoring and access control maintenance at the Charlotte Area Transit System (posted February 12, 2026, due March 12, 2026) represents transit-authority activity, though cable ladder does not appear as a primary line item in that scope. The code shows modest and dispersed activity; opportunities are infrequent and typically subordinate to electrical equipment or facilities maintenance contracts rather than standalone solicitations.
