UNSPSC 32101643: Programmable logic integrated circuit

An electronic component also called a programmable logic device (PLD) used to build reconfigurable digital circuits.

UNSPSC 32101643 Programmable logic integrated circuit is a Commodity code that state and local governments acquire as discrete components embedded in broader electrical and electronic systems rather than as standalone procurement items. The recent solicitations tied to this code reveal a mismatch between the nominal category name and actual buying patterns: state and local issuing bodies are purchasing complete circuit breaker assemblies, custom printed circuit boards, and electronic equipment repair and parts services rather than programmable logic integrated circuits in isolation. The issuing bodies include school districts, municipal utilities, higher-education institutions, and cooperative purchasing consortia. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio solicited electronic equipment parts and repair services under IFB2026118 with a September 24, 2026 response deadline, while the University of Wisconsin-Madison sought custom printed circuit boards (APxF Rev K3) under RFB 2027-UWMSN-01396 with a July 20, 2026 close date. These examples suggest the code is being used as a catch-all descriptor for electronics procurement rather than a precise marker of programmable logic components specifically.

Geographically, the recent activity concentrates in Texas and the Upper Midwest. Lubbock Power & Light in Lubbock, Texas issued RFP #7137-26-ELD for three outdoor 15kV vacuum circuit breakers with SEL protective relays, current transformers, and technical advisory services, closing September 24, 2026 with expected award October 20, 2026 and delivery by March 21, 2027. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across multiple states and Canada, with a June 16, 2026 deadline. The code shows limited recent activity specifically targeting programmable logic integrated circuits as discrete procurable items, indicating either sparse demand for this commodity at the state and local level or broader misclassification of electronics purchases under this UNSPSC designation.
