UNSPSC 32101505: Plated through circuit assemblies

UNSPSC 32101505 Plated through circuit assemblies (Commodity) covers custom printed circuit boards and related electronic components that state and local governments procure for equipment repair, facility infrastructure, and specialized operations. The code's recent activity shows purchases spanning academic research facilities, law enforcement equipment platforms, security systems, electrical infrastructure maintenance, and water treatment operations — a diversity that reflects the broad role of circuit assemblies as embedded components in larger systems rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies include state universities (University of Wisconsin-Madison), state and local government units operating cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and Minnesota counties), school districts (Sarasota County Schools), cities (Phoenix, Madison), and special-purpose water authorities (Riverside County Water Filtration). The mix leans toward institutional and municipal facilities management rather than direct consumer-facing services.

Recent opportunities under the code show concentrated activity in the Upper Midwest and Southwest. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued an RFB for APxF Rev K3 Custom Printed Circuit Boards with a response deadline of July 20, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington and other jurisdictions, with responses due June 16, 2026. The Sarasota County Schools issued IFB #26-0158 for Safety & Security Systems services, parts, and consumables (due March 10, 2026), which included hourly labor rates for installation and repair of security systems at school locations. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department solicited electrical parts and supplies through IFB 26-FMD-012, structured as a three-year contract with two one-year extension options and requiring vendors to be local stocking distributors within 25 miles of central Phoenix. Riverside County issued RFB 3918 for an ABB ACS880-04 AC Drive Module for water filtration equipment replacement (due March 25, 2026). Geographic concentration appears strongest in Wisconsin, California, and Washington, with secondary activity in Florida and Arizona. The code shows steady demand for replacement and maintenance components across municipal infrastructure and institutional operations.
