UNSPSC 32111702: Thyristors

UNSPSC 32111702 Thyristors is a Commodity code that describes semiconductor switching devices used in power control and conversion applications. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on acquiring thyristors and related electronic components as part of broader equipment, parts, and repair solicitations rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and state-facilitated cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple local jurisdictions. Thyristors appear in these solicitations as components within larger electronic equipment and parts procurement baskets, reflecting how state and local governments source semiconductor devices — bundled with other electronics rather than purchased individually.

Recent opportunities show thyristor procurement concentrated in two contexts. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued IFB 2026118 on September 1, 2026, requesting sealed bids for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services with response due September 24, 2026; this contract replaces an expiring vehicle and requires all current vendors to rebid or forfeit future business. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative purchasing unit, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, plus numerous other jurisdictions nationwide, seeking law enforcement equipment; proposals were due June 16, 2026. Both solicitations treat thyristors as component-level purchases within larger electronic equipment frameworks rather than discrete procurement events. Geographic activity spans Texas and Washington, with cooperative purchasing extending the potential scope across multiple states and public entities.
