Plenum-Rated Cable Supply

The contract involves the supply of fire-rated, plenum-approved data and communication cables specifically designated for indoor distributed antenna system deployment within educational facilities across Texas. The cables must meet strict plenum and fire safety standards to ensure compliance with building codes and occupant safety requirements in enclosed, air-handling spaces typical of school infrastructure. The scope is focused exclusively on procurement of cabling solutions compatible with modern communication systems deployed in academic environments, prioritizing reliability, performance, and regulatory adherence. The solicitation is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 334310, which pertains to telecommunications equipment manufacturing, indicating the emphasis on specialized, manufactured cable products rather than installation or services. The opportunity was posted on May 6, 2026, with responses due by June 25, 2026, and is managed by Region 4 ESC, a Texas-based educational service organization. While no specific cities or delivery locations are detailed, performance is expected throughout educational facilities under the agency’s jurisdiction. Interested parties must ensure their offerings fully conform to federal and state fire codes and are certified for use in plenum environments.
