UNSPSC 32121503: Adjustable pre set capacitors

UNSPSC 32121503 Adjustable Pre Set Capacitors is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the hierarchy. The code nominally names adjustable preset capacitors, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct activity for capacitors as standalone line items. The most substantial recent opportunity involves Gwinnett County, Georgia, which issued an RFQ on June 2, 2026 (due June 12, 2026) for ballasts and capacitors on an annual contract for the Parks and Recreation Department, specifying approximately 200 units annually of capacitors (Aerovox Z74S5232NN or approved equivalent) alongside metal halide ballasts for lighting systems. The City of Austin issued an IFB on February 16, 2026 (bids due March 10, 2026) for electric protective devices, including network protectors, fuses, and related electrical components, though the summary does not isolate capacitors as a distinct line item within that broader protective-device procurement. Most of the recent opportunities tagged to this code describe unrelated work—pothole repair materials, elevator maintenance, solenoid supply, and law-enforcement equipment—indicating either tagging inconsistency in the source system or very limited actual recent procurement of capacitors as a standalone commodity.

Issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span counties (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida), cities (Austin, Texas; Tampa, Florida), and special-purpose cooperative entities like Sourcewell. Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Texas, with scattered activity in California and the Pacific Northwest. The Gwinnett County and City of Austin opportunities represent the closest matches to the code's nominal scope. No repeat buyers appear across the recent opportunities, and no set-asides, incumbent vendors, or specific contract values are disclosed in the capacitor-focused solicitations. The source shows no robust pipeline of state and local procurement activity targeting adjustable preset capacitors as a discrete product line; the code appears low-activity relative to the frequency of opportunities under adjacent electrical component categories.
