UNSPSC 32121510: Gas capacitor

A capacitor that uses the gas as the dielectric substance.

UNSPSC 32121510 Gas capacitor is a Commodity code that sees recent state and local activity concentrated in electrical infrastructure procurement, though the opportunities tagged to this code span a wider range of electrical components and equipment than the code's nominal scope alone suggests. Based on recent solicitations, state and local governments are buying capacitors as part of broader electrical systems upgrades, ballast and capacitor packages for facilities maintenance, and specialized electrical components for water treatment and utility infrastructure. Issuing bodies include county park and recreation departments, municipal utilities and water authorities, city procurement offices, and county commissioners. Gwinnett County, Georgia, and Hillsborough County, Florida, have each posted opportunities in 2026 involving capacitor procurement alongside related electrical equipment; Orange County, Florida, and the City of Austin, Texas, have solicited electrical protective devices and components; and the City of Tampa, Florida, and the City of Gainesville, Florida, have issued RFQs and ITBs for electrical and mechanical components for water treatment and transit operations.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas. Gwinnett County issued an RFQ on June 2, 2026, for approximately 200 units annually of capacitors (Aerovox Z74S5232NN or approved equivalent) on an annual contract with four renewal options, with quotes due June 12, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB on May 27, 2026, for Schneider brand electrical components—including capacitors as part of a broader portfolio—with an estimated contract value of $519,787.19 over two years and bids due June 18, 2026. The City of Austin, through Austin Energy, solicited electric protective devices and related components via IFB on February 16, 2026, with bids due March 10, 2026, available to single or multiple award vendors. Activity is also present in California (San Mateo County Parks Department issued an RFP for transformer and electrical infrastructure work posted March 4, 2026) and Minnesota and Washington (Sourcewell cooperative issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment on June 12, 2026, covering thousands of participating governmental agencies across multiple states).
