UNSPSC 32101531: Attenuator network pad

This is a passive network of resistors used to reduce signal level.

UNSPSC 32101531 Attenuator network pad is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader scope of electrical supplies and components than the narrow code name suggests. State and local governments are actually procuring under this code for general-purpose electrical equipment, parts, and supplies—including conduit, raceways, wire and cable, lighting fixtures, ballasts, controls, wiring devices, signaling products, fuses, and miscellaneous electrical components to support maintenance operations, facilities, and districtwide infrastructure. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and transit authorities, with school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio) posting the most recent activity. These procurements are typically structured as multi-category blanket or term contracts with firm pricing, manufacturer warranty requirements, and delivery windows measured in days, and are evaluated primarily on price or discount percentage. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the Texas DIR cabling services contract also appear under this code, extending scope to include design, installation, and support services alongside product supply.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, California, and Washington. Pinellas County Schools issued ITB 26-AM-008 for electrical supplies on September 28, 2026, closing March 27, 2026, for approximately $950,000 annually across 27 product categories with a one-year initial term and renewal options. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued IFB 2026098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services, due July 1, 2026, explicitly noting that all vendors must respond or lose future business. Orange County Transportation Authority (California) posted RFQ 250243 for industrial electrical supplies on May 5, 2026, with a $10,000 one-year budget and firm fixed pricing. Texas Department of Information Resources issued a cooperative RFO (COOP2026SOL-00008) for cabling services and related products due September 24, 2026, with historical sales exceeding $12.0 million annually across state agencies, local governments, school districts, and higher education institutions. These opportunities indicate steady demand across school districts and transit authorities for supplies and services on one-year or multi-year contract cycles, with pricing and responsiveness as primary evaluation drivers.
