UNSPSC 72151605: Voice and data and video wiring service

The installation of wiring for voice, data and video systems owned by others

UNSPSC 72151605 Voice and data and video wiring service is a Commodity code encompassing the installation, termination, configuration, and ongoing maintenance of copper and fiber optic cabling systems supporting data, voice, video, and cable television networks across buildings and campuses. State and local governments currently procure this work through municipalities, school districts, counties, and special-purpose authorities to upgrade or refresh network infrastructure at individual facilities or across multi-site jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show a mix of one-time capital projects—such as network switch refresh and data cabling installations at specific schools—and recurring master service agreements enabling agencies to call on contractors for moves, adds, changes, and emergency repairs on an as-needed basis. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments (Doral, St. Petersburg, Wichita), county authorities (Santa Clara, Galveston), independent school districts (Northside, Savannah-Chatham, Ingham, Spring), and special districts or authorities (Connecticut Department of Administrative Services, Peachtree City Airport Authority). The work typically requires low-voltage contractor licensure (California C-7 or equivalent), BICSI or equivalent fiber and copper certification, and demonstrated experience with K-12 or municipal infrastructure deployments; contracts commonly mandate fixed pricing for initial terms with modest renewal increases (3–5 percent) subject to justification or market indices.

Recent activity spans the Southeast, Texas, California, and the Midwest. The City of Doral's ITB 2026-22 for telecommunications wiring services (closed September 28, 2026) established a three-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals and required bidders to hold Florida low-voltage specialty contractor certification and three years' government experience. The Texas Department of Information Resources issued a Master Cooperative Contract for cabling services (COOP2026SOL-00008, due September 24, 2026) serving all state agencies and political subdivisions across Texas, with historical annual volumes of $11–12 million and requirements for BICSI RCDD credentialing and TIA/EIA standards compliance. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio solicited moving/adding/changing (MAC) telecommunications cabling services (RFP 2026079, due September 24, 2026) as a replacement for an expiring contract. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issued RFP 27-01 for data cabling installation at Hubert Middle School (due August 25, 2026), requiring five years of continuous low-voltage experience, Georgia registration, an on-site RCDD, and a 15-year product warranty. Spring Independent School District in Houston issued network switch refresh RFPs (due November 13, 2026) with estimated value exceeding $1 million over five years and evaluation weighted toward price (30 percent), AI automation capabilities (12 percent), and vendor location in Texas (5 percent). The County of Santa Clara issued ITB-PRC-FY27-0058 for Wi-Fi access point replacement (due September 30, 2026) as a prevailing-wage public work requiring California C-7 low-voltage licensing. Activity shows consistent demand for installation labor bundled with equipment supply, with contracts increasingly requiring cloud-based remote management, cybersecurity coordination with municipal IT departments, and sustainable warranty and support structures across 3–6 year initial terms.
