UNSPSC 32121505: Aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitor

UNSPSC 32121505 Aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitor is a Commodity code that spans electrical components used in industrial control systems, power distribution infrastructure, and facility maintenance applications across state and local jurisdictions. The recent opportunities block shows limited direct activity under this specific code; instead, state and local buyers are actively procuring electrical components, control panels, and related equipment through broader sourcing efforts that may incidentally include capacitors as part of larger assemblies or component bundles. The Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation Department explicitly solicited capacitors (Aerovox Z74S5232NN or approved equivalent) on an annual contract basis with approximately 200 units per year, indicating steady replacement demand in municipal facilities. Hillsborough County similarly specified Schneider Electric electrical components for SCADA control panels, a category that often includes fixed capacitors as standard subcomponents. Issuers range from county utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), municipal water departments (City of Tampa), counties (Gwinnett County, Hillsborough County), transit authorities (Trinity Metro), and independent school districts (Northside Independent School District), suggesting procurement is distributed across utilities, facilities management, and infrastructure maintenance departments rather than concentrated in a single issuer class.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Kissimmee Utility Authority; Hillsborough County; Tampa; Bay County) and Georgia (Gwinnett County), with secondary representation in Texas (Trinity Metro in Tarrant County; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio) and multistate cooperative structures (Sourcewell across Washington and multiple western jurisdictions). The Gwinnett County RFQ for ballasts and capacitors, posted June 2, 2026 with a June 12 close, represents the most direct recent opportunity under this code, soliciting approximately 200 capacitor units annually on firm pricing with four one-year renewal options. Hillsborough County's May 27, 2026 ITB for Schneider electrical components (ITB2600277, $519,787.19 over two years, due June 18) indicates ongoing demand for standardized electrical subcomponents within SCADA infrastructure, though that solicitation does not isolate capacitors as a line item. These opportunities suggest state and local procurement for fixed capacitors remains embedded within broader control-system and facility-maintenance contracts rather than appearing as standalone commodity solicitations.
