UNSPSC 32101600: Integrated circuits

UNSPSC 32101600 Integrated circuits, a Class code, represents a mismatch between the nominal taxonomy and the state and local contracting activity actually appearing under it. The recent opportunities block shows no procurement of discrete integrated circuits or semiconductor components. Instead, the tagged opportunities overwhelmingly concern network infrastructure equipment—Cisco and HPE switches, Meraki appliances, firewalls, UPS systems, wireless access points, and fiber optic cabling—along with associated installation and support services. State and local governments soliciting under this code are schools (Tacoma, Houston County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida, Hays CISD Texas), utilities (Dalton Utilities Georgia), cities (Eugene Oregon, Atlanta, Palo Alto California, Long Beach California, Philadelphia, Meriden Connecticut, Royal Oak Michigan), counties (Wake County North Carolina, Seminole County Florida, Orange County Florida, Broward County Florida, Jackson County Georgia, San Mateo County California, Gwinnett County Georgia), transit and infrastructure agencies (City of Long Beach Department of Public Works), and regional cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative Texas). The work being solicited—network switch replacement and upgrades, firewall procurement, UPS battery systems, access point deployment, cabling infrastructure, and turnkey technology services—does not align with integrated-circuit procurement as normally understood in UNSPSC taxonomy. Many opportunities reference E-Rate federal funding for schools and libraries, cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO, H-GAC, Sourcewell, OMNIA Partners, DIR contracts), and multi-year service contracts.

Geographic activity spans Texas (multiple school districts, utilities, cooperatives), Georgia (multiple school systems, Houston County, Bibb County, Savannah-Chatham County, Jackson County), Florida (Seminole County, Orange County, Broward County, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County), California (Palo Alto, Long Beach, Sacramento County, Kern County), Michigan (Royal Oak, Grosse Pointe), Washington (Tacoma), Connecticut (Meriden), and other jurisdictions. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Eugene's cooperative notice (July 2, 2026, NASPO vehicle, $366,711.40 Juniper switches), City of Atlanta Department of Aviation's IFB for network switch replacement labor and services (August 3, 2026), Seminole County Public Works' sealed-bid solicitation for ATMS network equipment (July 22, 2026), and Wake County's Cisco equipment bid requiring authorized channel partners (July 10, 2026). School districts dominate the volume—Hillsborough County's $10.3 million estimated Meraki ELA (February 22, 2026), Hays CISD's E-Rate category procurements (January 22, 2026), Bibb County's switch upgrade RFP across 45 sites (March 2, 2026), and multiple E-Rate network lifecycle replacements. The code shows little relevant recent activity for integrated circuits proper and should likely be disregarded by firms focused on semiconductor component supply.
