UNSPSC 56112205: Lighting, power or data components

Integral part of the desking system to support lighting, power or data components.

UNSPSC 56112205 Lighting, power or data components is a Commodity code covering discrete electrical connectors, cables, clamps, and related infrastructure components that state and local governments procure for utility operations, facility maintenance, and capital projects. Recent solicitations show municipalities and transit authorities buying traffic signal cables, ground clamps, connector bolts, light trailers, and electrical supplies for installation and repair work across transportation, parks, schools, and general government facilities.

State purchasing offices, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities all source under this code. Repeat buyers include the City of Austin (through Austin Energy and Transportation & Public Works), with multiple IFQ solicitations for qualified products; Pinellas County School District, soliciting theatrical lighting components and electrical systems for building renovations; and Georgia jurisdictions including DeKalb County, Columbus Consolidated Government, and Peachtree City Airport Authority. Activity is concentrated in Texas (Austin, Lubbock, Galveston County, Harris County, Dallas Area Rapid Transit), Florida (Pinellas County Schools, Hillsborough County), and Georgia (DeKalb, Columbus, Peachtree City), with additional recent solicitations in California, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Austin Transportation & Public Works Department IFQ requesting traffic signal cables (15,000 feet of 5-conductor and 7-conductor IMSA-spec cable, 12,500 feet of composite coax, and 12,000 feet of shielded pair) with quotes due October 23, 2026; Pinellas County School District sealed electronic bid for electrical maintenance and repair services covering lighting, receptacles, wiring, HVAC controls, solar systems, and EV charging stations (estimated value approximately $400,000, contract term November 10, 2026 through November 9, 2027 with optional renewals); and City Colleges of Chicago requesting bids for an Electrical Low Voltage Job Order Contract covering IT/AV systems, security, access control, and CCTV installation with base term 60 months or until $5 million maximum contract value is reached, whichever first occurs, with MBE 25% and WBE 7% participation goals. Small Business Enterprise (SBE), Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE), and HUBZone-equivalent preferences are common in Austin and Chicago solicitations; prevailing wage and compliance certifications (wage theft, non-debarment, E-Verify, background screening) appear across school districts and government procurement. Activity remains steady through October 2026, with response dates spanning late September through late October and contract terms typically 12 months with renewal options.
