UNSPSC 43223337: Fiber optic enclosure

A specialized container used to organize fiber optic cables

UNSPSC 43223337 Fiber optic enclosure (Commodity) covers the physical infrastructure and housing components that state and local governments procure to protect, organize, and terminate fiber optic cable systems in municipal networks, broadband deployments, intelligent transportation systems, and utility communications infrastructure. The code encompasses sealed bids and RFPs for duct banks, pull boxes, handhole structures, cable trays, patch panel assemblies, and termination equipment installed as part of fiber backbone expansion, network redundancy projects, and last-mile connectivity initiatives. Recent activity shows state departments, counties, municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities actively soliciting fiber enclosure materials and installation services alongside broader fiber network deployments.

State and local issuing bodies span transportation departments (Illinois DoIT, Broward County), utilities and public works (Burke County, City of Ocala, Seminole County), school districts (Madison County, Clarke County, Reynolds School District), and transit/broadband authorities (City of Palo Alto, City of Brownsville). Geographic concentration includes Texas (Brownsville 5G/fiber deployment, Harris County toll road fiber maintenance, Palo Alto utilities fiber procurement), Florida (Collier County airport security fiber, Hillsborough County schools CCTV-LAN cabling, Orlando fiber inventory), Georgia (Burke County BEAD broadband fiber procurement, Sandy Springs ITS Ring B fiber design, Clarke County school district fiber connectivity), Illinois (DoIT metro-ethernet and dark fiber IRU contracts), and Connecticut (Meriden City Hall fiber installation). Representative recent opportunities include Palo Alto's RFQ 198248 for 75,000 feet of 432-fiber ribbon cable with gel-free tube specifications (due July 1, 2026), Collier County's sealed bid for security enhancements including fiber optic duct bank and pull boxes at Immokalee Airport with $443,300 budget (due July 31, 2026), Burke County's sealed bid for fiber optic materials totaling approximately 4.8 million feet across multiple cable configurations under the federal BEAD program (due May 6, 2026), and Brownsville's IFB for 5G infrastructure deployment with fiber integration across 82 locations (due July 30, 2026). Activity is concentrated in infrastructure modernization driven by federal broadband funding (BEAD), intelligent transportation system upgrades, and municipal fiber network redundancy requirements.
