UNSPSC 32121509: Air capacitor

A capacitor that uses the air as the dielectric substance.

UNSPSC 32121509 Air capacitor is a Commodity code that covers electrical capacitors and related components used in utility, municipal, and industrial control systems. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code encompasses capacitors supplied for SCADA systems, motor control centers, electrical panels, and facility electrical infrastructure. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span utilities, county governments, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida procured protection and control relays with integrated capacitor functionality for its electrical system modernization; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners sought Schneider brand electrical components including capacitor specifications for SCADA control panels; Gwinnett County, Georgia requested annual contract pricing on approximately 200 units of capacitors annually for Parks and Recreation Department operations; and the City of Tampa sought a solenoid and control equipment replacement for water treatment facility operations. The code sees activity across Florida and Georgia in recent months, with utility and municipal infrastructure modernization driving demand.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's RFQ for ballasts and capacitors (PE77023NONST2026000000620, due June 12, 2026) establishing an annual contract for approximately 200 units of Aerovox Z74S5232NN capacitors or approved equivalents at unit pricing on an FOB destination basis; Hillsborough County's ITB for Schneider electrical components (ITB2600277, due June 18, 2026) with an estimated two-year contract value of $519,787.19 covering standardized SCADA control panel parts with 15-day delivery to four warehouse locations across Tampa, Riverview, and Valrico; and Kissimmee Utility Authority's sole-source RFQ for SEL protection relays (SS26054SH, due August 24, 2026) specifying equipment fully compatible with existing protection schemes and SCADA infrastructure. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in utility and county water-system infrastructure modernization, driven by aging equipment replacement and SCADA system standardization initiatives.
