UNSPSC 32121503: Adjustable pre set capacitors

UNSPSC 32121503 Adjustable pre set capacitors is a Commodity code that covers electrical capacitors and related components used in utility infrastructure, industrial control systems, and facility maintenance applications. State and local governments procure adjustable preset capacitors primarily for power distribution equipment, SCADA control panel integration, and electrical system upgrades at utility authorities, water treatment facilities, county infrastructure departments, and transit agencies. Recent solicitations show procurement of capacitors as components within broader electrical assemblies—notably Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation requesting approximately 200 units annually of specific capacitor models (Aerovox Z74S5232NN or approved equivalents) for ballast replacement on a firm annual contract basis, and Hillsborough County requesting Schneider brand electrical components including capacitors for SCADA standardization across pump station control panels and other county infrastructure over a two-year period. The issuing bodies include utility authorities, county government purchasing divisions, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts seeking standardized components for equipment replacement and ongoing maintenance programs. Solicitation activity shows a mix of single-unit replacements, annual requirements contracts with renewal options, and ongoing as-needed supply arrangements, with vendors required to hold appropriate certifications (such as UL 508A for control panel work) and proven distributor status when brand-specific components are specified.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with additional procurement from Texas transit authorities. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued RFQ PA028-26 on June 2, 2026 requesting competitive quotes for ballasts and capacitors with delivery due June 12, 2026 to the Parks Operations Center at 352 Hosea Road, Lawrenceville. Hillsborough County, Florida issued ITB 26-00277 on May 27, 2026 for Schneider brand electrical components including capacitors over a two-year estimated value of $519,787.19, with bids due June 18, 2026; the same county issued ITB 26-00393 on August 28, 2026 for pump station control panels and other enclosures (extended to September 29) with an estimated contract value of $3.66 million, representing the larger systems-integration context in which capacitors function. Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida issued sole-source quotation SS26054SH on September 14, 2026 for SEL relays (due August 24, 2026) demonstrating the specificity and equipment-compatibility constraints that drive component procurement in the utilities sector.
