The laying of telecommunication cable owned by others

UNSPSC 72141117 Telephone and communication cable laying service is a Commodity code capturing the installation, testing, and maintenance of voice, data, and fiber optic cabling infrastructure across state and local facilities. State and local governments procure this work to upgrade telecommunications systems in schools, county facilities, airports, municipal offices, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. The scope ranges from low-voltage data cabling in school buildings and campus networks to fiber optic trunk lines supporting municipal broadband initiatives, emergency services infrastructure, and intelligent transportation systems. Recent solicitations show structured cabling for educational institutions (Novi Community School District, Bryan Independent School District, Madison County School System), fiber and copper installations for county and municipal infrastructure (Collier County Airport, City of Arlington, Hillsborough County), on-call services across multiple facilities (University of Houston-Clear Lake, City of Charlotte, Parkway School District), and specialized projects such as aerial fiber deployment and emergency generator coordination.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Novi, Bryan, Madison County, Barrow County), county governments (Collier, Hillsborough, Columbia County), cities (Arlington, Charlotte, Sandy Springs, Santa Monica, Plant City), universities (UT-Austin, UT-Tyler, Houston-Clear Lake, Texas Southmost College), and transit authorities (Jacksonville Transportation Authority). School districts and counties appear most frequently in recent activity. Geographic concentration spans Texas (Arlington, Bryan, San Antonio area), Florida (Collier, Hillsborough, Plant City), Georgia (Madison County, Barrow County, Sandy Springs, Columbia County), North Carolina (Charlotte), and California (Santa Clara, Hillsborough County), with additional activity in Michigan, Oregon, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' sealed bid for security enhancements and emergency generator at Immokalee Airport (ITB, Jul 31, 2026), Bryan Independent School District's campus-wide IP speaker and cabling RFP across 21 campuses (RFP, Jul 9, 2026), City of Charlotte's on-call low voltage cabling RFP for multiple city facilities (RFP, May 18, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' five-year low voltage cabling ITB with estimated value of $9.2 million (ITB, May 29, 2026).
