UNSPSC 32101672: Lead frame

A common type of chip package that uses metal leads that extend outside the housing.

UNSPSC 32101672 Lead frame (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The five recent opportunities tagged under this code span custom printed circuit boards, law enforcement equipment, security systems services and parts, electrical parts and supplies, industrial drive modules, and city-wide printing and mailing services—none of which constitutes lead frame procurement in the semiconductor or electronics assembly sense. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's RFB for APxF Rev K3 Custom Printed Circuit Boards (due July 20, 2026) is the closest match to electronics manufacturing, but even this is a finished circuit board rather than a lead frame component. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP for Law Enforcement Equipment and the Sarasota County School Board's IFB for Safety & Security Systems Services, Parts & Consumables represent security and safety equipment, not lead frames. The City of Phoenix's IFB for Electrical Parts and Supplies and Riverside County's RFB for an ABB ACS880-04 AC Drive Module are general industrial electrical procurement, and the City of Madison's RFP for City-wide Printing and Mailing Services is entirely unrelated to the code's stated purpose.

Recent opportunities under this code appear tagged inconsistently with the underlying commodity definition, suggesting either misclassification at posting or a jurisdictional taxonomy variance that does not reflect actual lead frame demand. The issuing bodies include higher-education institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison), state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of Minnesota and participating Washington counties), school districts (Sarasota County), and municipal departments (City of Phoenix, Riverside County water authority, City of Madison). Geographic activity centers on Wisconsin, Minnesota, Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, but the dispersion across unrelated product categories—security systems, electrical distribution, industrial drives, printing services—suggests the code is not functioning as a reliable indicator of lead frame solicitation in this region. Business development professionals should verify directly with issuing jurisdictions whether actual lead frame procurement is being tagged elsewhere or whether this code has fallen into disuse for semiconductor component procurement.
