UNSPSC 32121512: Mica capacitor

A capacitor that has thin plate reproduced in natural condition of mica plate or mica piece as the dielectric body.

UNSPSC 32121512 Mica capacitor is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The source records document six state and local solicitations posted between February and July 2026, but only one—Gwinnett County, Georgia's PA028-26 Purchase of Ballasts and Capacitors on an Annual Contract (RFQ, due June 12, 2026)—involves capacitors as a primary procurement line item. That solicitation requests approximately 200 units annually of Aerovox Z74S5232NN capacitors or approved equivalent for the Parks and Recreation Department, bundled with metal halide ballasts on a one-year initial term with four one-year renewal options. The remaining five opportunities in the dataset—covering elevator maintenance (City of Fort Worth), solenoid supply (City of Tampa), electrical components (Hillsborough County), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), water reclamation facility upgrades (Orange County), bus parts (City of Gainesville), transformer replacement (San Mateo County), and protective devices (City of Austin)—make no mention of capacitors or mica capacitors specifically, suggesting either tagging misalignment or incidental use of capacitors as minor line items within broader electrical or mechanical procurement scopes.

The limited activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with single-unit or small-quantity procurements embedded within larger electrical infrastructure or equipment-supply contracts. Gwinnett County stands as the only repeat buyer with a dedicated annual capacitor requirement, though the purchase volume remains modest (approximately 200 units per year). No set-asides, incumbent vendors, or estimated contract values for capacitor-specific work are identified in the available documentation. The code shows little signal of sustained or growing state and local demand for mica capacitors as a standalone procurement category; where capacitors do appear, they are typically specified components within larger electrical or mechanical system upgrades rather than strategic commodity lines.
