UNSPSC 43223321: Fiber optic connector clip

A fiber optic connector clippositions the fiber optic connectors so that the connectors can only be inserted into a corresponding number of receiving connectors in one way.

UNSPSC 43223321 Fiber optic connector clip (Commodity) names a single product category, but state and local solicitations under this code and related fiber-optic procurement codes actually seek comprehensive infrastructure services — fiber cable supply, installation, splicing, termination, testing, design, and maintenance — across transportation, utilities, broadband, education, and municipal communications networks. Issuing bodies include state departments of information technology and transportation, county toll authorities, county and city utilities, school districts, municipalities, and regional planning organizations. The code's scope reflects the downstream work required to deploy fiber: cable itself, connectors, clips, and the labor and expertise to integrate them into functioning networks.

Recent activity spans the continental United States with concentration in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Connecticut, North Carolina, and California. The City of Palo Alto's RFQ 198248 (July 1, 2026, due) seeks 75,000 feet of 432 fiber optic cable on a one-time firm fixed-price basis for utility infrastructure; Collier County's ITB 258391 (June 29 – July 31, 2026) includes fiber optic duct bank and pull boxes as part of airport security and generator deployment with an anticipated budget of $443,300; Broward County's roadway capacity and traffic signal projects (February–July 2026) call for fiber optic conduit systems and communication networks; and the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology has issued multiple RFQs for fiber-based metro-ethernet transport services and sole-source dark fiber procurement under IRU agreements (April–June 2026). Madison County Schools (Georgia) issued an RFP for structured cabling with fiber drops alongside copper data infrastructure (June 18 – July 20, 2026). Burke County, Georgia is procuring approximately 4.8 million feet of single-mode fiber cable in multiple configurations under a BEAD program solicitation (April 14 – May 6, 2026). The City of Charlotte's on-call cabling RFP (April 6 – May 18, 2026) and multiple school-district and utility fiber projects indicate sustained demand for both material supply and installation labor across the sector. No single dominant repeat buyer emerges; activity is distributed across state information technology offices, transportation and toll authorities, school systems, and municipal broadband divisions.
