UNSPSC 32111700: Semiconductor devices

UNSPSC 32111700 Semiconductor devices is a Class code that captures laboratory and testing equipment, specialty research and development goods, and related support services procured by state and local government bodies for scientific and educational research operations. The recent opportunities under this code show state purchasing offices and higher-education institutions acquiring laboratory equipment such as centrifuges, chromatography systems, fume hoods, and microscope systems; photovoltaic components and installation services for renewable energy projects; and lab information management systems supporting public health operations. Issuing bodies include research universities (Texas Tech University), regional school districts (Regional School District No. 16 in Connecticut), and county public health departments (Santa Clara County). The scope spans both capital equipment procurement and professional services, with evaluation criteria typically weighted toward demonstrated ability to meet specific operational needs, compliance with state and federal requirements, and financial value.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Connecticut, and California. Texas Tech University issued RFP 2026-1190 on May 4, 2026 (due May 4, 2026) for laboratory equipment and specialty R&D goods and services supporting research initiatives, evaluated under best-value standards with weighted criteria favoring demonstrated ability to fulfill TTU needs (50 percent), compliance with federal and state requirements (15 percent), proposer qualifications (15 percent), financial value (10 percent), and value-added options (10 percent), with HUB program compliance required. Regional School District No. 16 in Connecticut posted IFB 36548 on April 30, 2026 (due June 1, 2026) for design, furnishing, and installation of a 663.68-kilowatt commercial solar photovoltaic system at Woodland Regional High School, with mandatory pre-bid meeting on May 7, 2026, Connecticut prevailing wage requirements, and set-asides mandating 25 percent of state-funded spending to small businesses and 6.25 percent to minority-, women-, and disabled-owned businesses. Santa Clara County issued RFI RFITSSFY260686 on April 7, 2026 (due April 22, 2026) for a public health lab information management system replacement supporting modern, scalable, compliant workflows.
