UNSPSC 32121505: Aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitor

UNSPSC 32121505 Aluminum electrolytic fixed capacitor is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code cover elevator and escalator maintenance, cold patch asphalt material, solenoid supply and installation, ballasts and capacitors (as a combined line item), Schneider electrical components, law enforcement equipment, water reclamation facility upgrades, heavy-duty bus parts, electrical transformer replacement, and electric protective devices. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The one exception is Gwinnett County, Georgia's June 2026 RFQ for ballasts and capacitors on an annual contract for Parks and Recreation, which does include capacitors (Aerovox Z74S5232NN or approved equivalent) alongside metal halide ballasts—though the solicitation aggregates both components rather than isolating capacitor procurement.

State and local jurisdictions issuing under this code include counties (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Hillsborough County, Florida), cities (Arlington and Fort Worth, Texas; Tampa, Florida; Gainesville, Florida; Austin, Texas; Orange County, Florida), special districts (Sourcewell cooperative on behalf of multiple Washington state counties), and regional authorities. The geographic footprint spans Texas (Arlington, Fort Worth, Gainesville, Austin), Florida (Tampa, Orange County, Gwinnett County), Georgia, and Washington state, with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative opportunities tied to the code include Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation's annual requirements contract for approximately 200 units annually each of ballasts and Aerovox capacitors (RFQ posted June 2, 2026, due June 12, 2026), and Hillsborough County's ITB for Schneider electrical components across two years valued at $519,787.19 (ITB2600277, posted May 27, 2026, due June 18, 2026). Given the prevalence of unrelated solicitations, pursuit of this code should be filtered by careful verification that state or local RFQs, RFPs, or ITBs explicitly require aluminum electrolytic capacitor products rather than broader electrical component categories.
