UNSPSC 32121511: Oil capacitor

A capacitor that uses the oil as the dielectric substance. This device enables for consecutive change for capacitance by mechanical method that the capacity value is adjusted.

UNSPSC 32121511 Oil capacitor is a Commodity code that covers electrical capacitors procured by state and local utilities, counties, school districts, and transit authorities for equipment replacement, system maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades. Recent solicitations show capacitors being bought as components within larger electrical system modernizations—Gwinnett County, Georgia requested approximately 200 units annually of metal halide ballasts paired with capacitors (Aerovox Z74S5232NN or approved equivalent) for Parks and Recreation Department facilities on an annual contract basis. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted a broad IFB for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services that encompasses capacitors among other electrical components. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has established contracts for Schneider brand electrical components (estimated at $519,787.19 over two years) used in SCADA control panels, a category that typically includes capacitors. The issuing-body mix spans utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida), counties (Hillsborough and Gwinnett), school districts (Northside ISD), and transit agencies (Trinity Metro in Texas), with Hillsborough County appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple electrical components and infrastructure categories.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's June 2026 RFQ for ballasts and capacitors (due June 12, 2026) at the Parks Operations Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia; Hillsborough County's May 2026 ITB for Schneider electrical components (due June 18, 2026) distributed to warehouses in Tampa, Riverview, and Valrico, Florida; and Northside ISD's September 2026 IFB for electronic equipment parts and services (due September 24, 2026) in San Antonio, Texas. Trinity Metro in Tarrant County, Texas posted an IDIQ solicitation in July 2026 (due August 20, 2026) to establish a qualified electrical parts supplier for ongoing maintenance and emergency operations. The code shows moderate recent state and local activity, though opportunities tend to embed capacitors within broader electrical component or parts-and-services procurements rather than as standalone solicitations.
