UNSPSC 43223331: Fiber optic insert

A dry component of a fiber optic cable that lies alongside the filament to protect it.

UNSPSC 43223331 Fiber optic insert, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of fiber splicing, maintenance, repairs, and installation services—including splicing of damaged fiber, network interface device termination, tap swaps, add-on services, fiber diagnostics, and related cabling work. The issuing bodies include electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, cities, school districts, and county governments. Work currently solicited spans routine fiber maintenance and repair under master service agreements, telecommunications cabling installation and reconfiguration across data and voice networks, fiber relocation associated with infrastructure projects, and emergency troubleshooting services. Contractors typically must hold low-voltage electrical licenses, provide unit pricing across multiple service categories, maintain commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and commit to documented response times for critical and routine requests. The code reflects a mix of planned capital work tied to broader utility and transportation infrastructure projects, recurring maintenance and add-on services under indefinite-quantity agreements, and on-call labor-rate contracts for multiple jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and Kansas. Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (RFP 2026010, due November 13, 2026) is establishing a master service agreement for routine fiber splicing, maintenance, and diagnostics across Columbia, Hamilton, Lafayette, and Suwannee counties; the City of Doral (ITB 2026-22, due September 28, 2026) is contracting for telecommunications wiring services including fiber and copper cabling installation and termination; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026079, due September 24, 2026) is soliciting bids for moving, adding, and changing telecommunications cabling to replace an expiring contract; and the City of Olathe, Kansas (Solicitation 3C02518, due November 17, 2026) includes fiber relocation services as part of a broader demolition and site restoration project near Santa Fe Street and I-35. Galveston County, Texas (RFP 26-092, due May 28, 2026) established a non-exclusive master service agreement for electrical and network wiring services on an as-needed basis. Work is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with emerging activity in Kansas tied to municipal infrastructure development.
