UNSPSC 32101505: Plated through circuit assemblies

UNSPSC 32101505 Plated through circuit assemblies is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure printed circuit board assemblies and related electronic components under this code through school districts, universities, transit and utility authorities, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent solicitations show demand for custom circuit boards tailored to specific applications — such as the University of Wisconsin-Madison's RFB for APxF Rev K3 Custom Printed Circuit Boards (due July 20, 2026) — as well as circuit board assemblies embedded in larger equipment systems like outdoor circuit breakers and electronic repair parts. Northside Independent School District's IFB for Electronic Equipment, Parts, Repairs, Rentals & Services (response date September 24, 2026) represents the school district segment, while Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for outdoor vacuum circuit breakers (due September 24, 2026) shows utility procurement of assemblies integrated into power distribution equipment. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment (response date June 16, 2026) indicates that circuit assemblies may also be specified as components within broader equipment bundles offered to multiple participating jurisdictions.

Geographic activity spans the Southwest and Upper Midwest, with recent opportunities in Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio and Lubbock Power & Light), Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and Minnesota (Sourcewell serving participating entities across multiple states including Washington counties). The Sourcewell vehicle underscores the role of cooperative purchasing in amplifying reach across thousands of government agencies. Response dates cluster in mid-2026, with three of four posted opportunities between late June and late September 2026. Pricing structures vary — Northside ISD requires shipping and handling inclusion, Lubbock LP&L uses FOB basis with separate line-item pricing and life-cycle-cost evaluation (30% weight), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison procurement emphasizes online submission through institutional platforms. Set-asides, incumbent-vendor constraints, and specific award values do not appear in the source material for this code segment.
