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 representing the installation, termination, testing, and maintenance of structured cabling infrastructure—copper twisted-pair (CAT6/6A), fiber optic, and associated hardware—that forms the backbone of voice, data, and video networks within buildings and across campuses. State and local governments procure this work for facility modernization, technology system upgrades, emergency response capabilities, and routine network maintenance across a broad range of infrastructure types: server rooms, elementary and secondary schools, county administrative buildings, utility control centers, public universities, and recreation facilities. Recent solicitations show work ranging from small single-building projects (fiber-optic and copper cabling at an elementary school, voice and data cabling at a California DMV facility) to large multi-location programs (classroom technology infrastructure across nine Valencia College campuses, countywide network services for Montgomery County and Galveston County, and statewide cabling for California state agencies). Issuing bodies include state departments (California Department of Technology, California Military Department, Texas Department of Information Resources), county governments (Galveston County, Montgomery County), cities (Charlotte, St. Petersburg, Flowery Branch), school districts (Howell Public Schools, Norwich Free Academy, Valencia College), and specialized agencies (California Public Utilities Commission). Work solicited under the code encompasses both capital projects (new infrastructure installation with design, materials, and labor) and recurring on-call master service agreements for maintenance, repair, and emergency response.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Connecticut, and Georgia, with notable repeat procurement activity from California state agencies and Texas local governments. Representative recent opportunities include the California Department of Technology's structured cabling IFB STP-SW-SCS-26 for inside and outside plant cabling (bid due April 24, 2026), the City of Charlotte's on-call cabling RFP requiring BICSI-certified technicians and manufacturer discounts across nine facilities (due May 18, 2026), Montgomery County Pennsylvania's voice and data cabling maintenance contract covering 55+ locations (due March 19, 2026), Howell Public Schools' structured cabling installations at two elementary schools (due March 19, 2026), and Valencia College's classroom technology and associated cabling services supporting 900+ rooms across nine campuses (due April 30, 2026). The Texas Department of Information Resources is also procuring wireless, cellular, and satellite infrastructure services bundled with network buildout and equipment installation (due July 23, 2026). Pricing structures vary: some solicitations are firm fixed-price with unit rates or lump-sum bids; others establish indefinite-quantity master service agreements with hourly labor rates and equipment markups. Set-asides and preferences are common—California entities frequently include DVBE participation goals (3–5%) and small business preferences, while Texas DIR emphasizes VetHUB subcontracting requirements. Recent activity indicates strong demand, with solicitations posted monthly and competitive responsiveness evidenced by multi-award structures and phased evaluation processes.
