UNSPSC 32101546: Frequency multiplier

A device obtained with the output of frequency as the multiplier of input frequency.

UNSPSC 32101546 Frequency multiplier is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The solicitations tagged with this code span emergency responder radio coverage systems (ERRCS), distributed antenna systems (DAS), and bi-directional amplifiers (BDAs) for in-building public safety radio enhancement; Motorola radios and accessories for law enforcement; bus radios and related infrastructure for school district transportation; ruggerized cellular routers for operational technology systems; RF shielded chambers for engineering research; mercury float switches for water utility pump control; and a cooperative purchasing vehicle for generalized law enforcement equipment. The code's nominal scope—frequency multipliers, a specific RF component—does not align with what state and local buyers are actually acquiring under this tag. The issuing bodies are a mix of city procurement offices (City of Phoenix), county government (County of Santa Clara Water Resources Department, Hillsborough County, Polk County), school districts (Rockwood School District R-VI in Missouri), a state agency (State of Florida), a state university (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and a cooperative purchasing entity (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating jurisdictions nationwide). A repeat buyer pattern emerges: the City of Phoenix issued two nearly identical five-year ERRCS/DAS/BDA solicitations within three months (IFB-26-0148 in April 2026 and IFB-26-0355 in June 2026), suggesting either a revised or reposted procurement for the same scope or distinct phases.

Geographic activity clusters in Arizona (Phoenix), California (Santa Clara County), Florida (two school boards and state RFI), Missouri (school district), Minnesota and Washington (Sourcewell cooperative), Wisconsin (university), and Texas (Texas A&M University System). The two University of Wisconsin RF shielded chamber bids (posted January 22 and February 13, 2026, with response deadlines February 12 and February 20, 2026 respectively) and the Hillsborough County mercury float switch bid (ITB-26-00138, due March 2, 2026) appear unrelated to frequency multipliers and likely represent tagging errors. The most decision-relevant opportunities for RF-related work are the City of Phoenix in-building radio frequency coverage solicitations (IFB-26-0148, due April 30, 2026 and IFB-26-0355, due July 10, 2026, both RFP notices seeking turnkey ERRCS design, installation, and testing); Rockwood School District's bus radio procurement (RFP 26-14203, due April 29, 2026, seeking approximately 150 mobile radios, repeaters, and infrastructure); and the Polk County School Board's ERCES inspection services (ITB-033TD0426, due March 12, 2026, requiring semi-annual and annual inspections of Emergency Responder Communication Enhancement Systems at school facilities). The code shows activity but with significant tagging inconsistency; operators pursuing frequency multiplier or RF component sales should verify scope alignment within specific RFP documents before investing in response preparation.
