UNSPSC 32111513: Varactor diode

A specialized diode that changes its level of capacitance depending on the level of reverse bias applied to the diode.

UNSPSC 32111513 Varactor diode (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The two posted opportunities from September and May 2026 reflect broad-spectrum electronic equipment and law enforcement equipment solicitations that do not specifically target varactor diodes or semiconductor components as discrete line items. Northside Independent School District's IFB2026118 for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services (due September 24, 2026) and Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) both cast wide nets across equipment categories rather than specifying semiconductor or diode procurement.

The geographic spread covers Texas and multi-state cooperative purchasing (Sourcewell, administered from Minnesota, serving participating entities including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties, plus numerous jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada). Absent are specific indicators of regular state or local demand for varactor diodes as a standalone commodity, repeat issuing bodies, or dedicated solicitations naming the component class. The code appears to see limited direct activity in state and local procurement; opportunities tagged to it tend to encompass varactor diodes only incidentally as part of broader electronic equipment or repair service contracts rather than as a targeted procurement line.
