UNSPSC 43223325: Fiber optic swab

A tool used for cleaning fiber optic connections.

UNSPSC 43223325 Fiber optic swab (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that state and local governments rarely purchase as a standalone item; instead, fiber infrastructure work is being solicited under broader telecommunications and network wiring services contracts. Recent state and local opportunities show that fiber-related procurement occurs as part of comprehensive cabling installation, splicing, maintenance, and network configuration work rather than as discrete swab supplies. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities (Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative in Florida), city governments (Olathe, Doral), school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas), and county governments (Galveston County, Texas). The scope of actual work being solicited spans fiber splicing, maintenance, and troubleshooting; telecommunications wiring installation and termination across copper and fiber optic cabling; moving, adding, and changing (MAC) services on fiber infrastructure; and utility relocation associated with infrastructure projects.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida, with notable procurement cycles from Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (RFP 2026010, due November 13, 2026, for routine fiber splicing and maintenance across Columbia, Hamilton, Lafayette, and Suwannee counties), the City of Doral (ITB 2026-22, due September 28, 2026, for telecommunications wiring services including fiber optic cabling installation and certification), Northside Independent School District San Antonio (RFP 2026079, due September 24, 2026, for MAC telecommunications cabling), and Galveston County (RFP 26-092, due May 28, 2026, for electrical and network wiring services). The City of Olathe, Kansas, issued solicitation 3C02518 (due November 17, 2026) that includes fiber relocation in association with a demolition and site restoration project. Fiber work appears primarily as a labor and service component within larger infrastructure, telecommunications, or utility maintenance contracts rather than as a consumable material procurement under this specific Commodity code.
