UNSPSC 43202222: Computer cable

Cable with industry standard connection and termination configurations used to connect various peripherals,instruments and equipment to computers.

UNSPSC 43202222 Computer cable is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure computer cables—primarily Cat5E, Cat6, Cat6A, and fiber optic cabling—as components of larger network and infrastructure projects rather than as standalone inventory items. Recent solicitations show cables specified within broader cabling services, network upgrades, and technology system implementations. The Texas Department of Transportation's IFB for Iteris Vantage Radius+ Vehicle Detection Systems (June 2026) included outdoor UV-resistant Cat5E and proprietary TS2 SDLC cables as line items. Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for CCTV-LAN Cabling Services (April 2026) specified Cat6 UTP horizontal cabling, 12-strand OS2 single-mode fiber optic, and coaxial installations. The City of Royal Oak's Network Cabling Upgrade project (March 2026) called for approximately 46,500 linear feet of Category 6A cabling. Hillsborough County's low-voltage cabling services ITB (February 2026) encompassed fiber and coaxial installation and repair, horizontal and riser data and voice cabling as core deliverables. Issuing bodies span state departments (TxDOT), county governments (Hillsborough, Montgomery, Orange County), municipalities (Royal Oak), and independent school districts across Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia, and Michigan. Counties and school districts appear as the most active buyers in recent postings.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, with distributed activity in Georgia and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Transportation's solicitation for vehicle detection system components including Cat5E cable (due June 9, 2026, IFB 601440000052712); Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for structured CCTV-LAN cabling services requiring Cat6 UTP, fiber, and coaxial installations (due April 24, 2026, RFP 26043-DST); and the City of Royal Oak's Network Cabling Upgrade and Demolition project specifying Category 6A cabling installation across 186 drops with testing and documentation (due March 16, 2026, RFPRO2026036). Hillsborough County's five-year low-voltage cabling services agreement budgeted $1.7 million (ITB ITB2600002, due March 3, 2026). These opportunities typically bundle cable procurement with installation labor, testing, engineering, and warranty support under integrated cabling-services contracts rather than issuing separate commodity purchases for cable stock.
