UNSPSC 32101536: Phase unbalance and power factor compensator

A device that makes automatic compensation for the power factor and maintains the phase equilibrium for power to control the active power of electricity and reactive power and frequency harmonic.

UNSPSC 32101536 Phase unbalance and power factor compensator is a Commodity code with little recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code address vehicle communication systems, in-building radio frequency coverage, law enforcement equipment, and operational communications systems — none of which concern electrical power factor correction or phase balancing equipment. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code's actual procurement activity diverges sharply from its category definition. School boards, counties, cities, universities, and state cooperative purchasing entities have posted opportunities under this code, but the work being solicited reflects communications infrastructure, emergency responder systems, and fleet electronics rather than power management or utility-scale electrical compensation.

Geographic activity spans Florida (School Board of Hillsborough County), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (Santa Clara County), Washington and multiple states via cooperative purchasing (Sourcewell), and Texas (Texas A&M University System). Representative recent opportunities include the School Board of Hillsborough County's ITQ for vehicle camera, navigation, and communication system inspection and repair services (due June 3, 2026), the City of Phoenix's IFB for in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement across three airports (due July 10, 2026), and Sourcewell's cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and public entities nationwide (due June 16, 2026). Santa Clara County issued two successive RFQs for Motorola radios and accessories for the Sheriff's Office in June and July 2026. The coding pattern suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying this UNSPSC code to communications and electronics categories for which no closer commodity match exists in their system, making pursuit under this code unlikely to yield relevant opportunities.
