UNSPSC 32101502: Printed circuit assemblies PCAs

UNSPSC 32101502 Printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) is a Commodity code that encompasses custom printed circuit boards and related assembly components procured by state and local governments. The recent opportunities under this code show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. Of the five most recent opportunities posted, only one—the University of Wisconsin-Madison's RFB 2027-UWMSN-01396 for APxF Rev K3 Custom Printed Circuit Boards, due July 20, 2026—represents a clear match to the code as posted. The other four opportunities (Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP, Sarasota County Schools' safety and security systems bid, Phoenix Public Works' electrical parts and supplies IFB, and Riverside County's ABB drive module RFB) are tangentially related to electronics procurement but do not target printed circuit assemblies or PCAs specifically. The mismatch between the code's designation and the bulk of recent activity suggests limited contemporary demand for custom PCAs at the state and local level, or that jurisdictions are tagging these opportunities with codes that do not reflect their primary procurement focus.

The geographic spread of the one directly relevant opportunity spans Wisconsin, while the broader set of opportunities posted under this code cluster in the Southwest and Southeast (Florida, California, Arizona) and Upper Midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin). The University of Wisconsin-Madison RFB is the sole representative solicitation demonstrating actual PCA demand; responses are due to Eric Thompson at eric.thompson@wisc.edu through the ShopUW+ platform. State and local procurement activity under this code appears light relative to other UNSPSC families in the electronics and components space, signaling either stable vendor relationships with existing suppliers, internal manufacturing capacity, or procurement consolidation under different code families.
