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 covering structured cabling for data networks. State and local governments procure this code primarily as on-call and job-order services to install, modify, and maintain Category 5e and Category 6 twisted-pair cabling plants, including wall-jack termination, cable routing, and associated accessories to support Gigabit Ethernet and voice-data integration. Recent solicitations focus on performance-based on-call contracts where jurisdictions call down work as needed rather than purchasing cables as commodity stock. The issuing-body mix includes county governments, community colleges, county sheriff's offices, special-purpose districts, and city procurement offices. Bergen Community College and Bergen County, New Jersey both issued on-call network cabling solicitations in September 2026, suggesting repeat buyers in that region; Gwinnett County, Georgia, and the County of Orange, California (Sheriff-Coroner Department) also pursued structured cabling services during the same period.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Northeast and Southeast, with recent activity in New Jersey (Bergen County, Bergen Community College), Georgia (Gwinnett County), and California (Orange County). Bergen Community College's RFP (P2426, due November 4, 2026) exemplifies the typical scope: on-call performance across multiple campuses covering moves, adds, removes, changes, and repairs to an existing Category 6 cable plant at Paramus, Lyndhurst, and Hackensack over a two-year term commencing December 15, 2026, with specifications for General Cable GenSpeed 6000 or equal cable, Panduit RJ45 jacks (CJ688TGYL) or equal, 568b termination standard, and compliance with local building codes and EIA/TIA standards. Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department's Job Order Contracting solicitation (060-2627-006-IFB, due August 19, 2026) with a not-to-exceed value of $3 million covered structured cabling and installation services restricted to five pre-qualified vendors holding California Class C-7 or C-10 contractor licenses. Gwinnett County's on-demand cabling services bid (B-2703BM, due September 16, 2026) required vendor registration in the Euna Procurement portal but provided minimal scope detail in available documentation.
