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 that captures state and local procurement of capacitors and related electrical components for utility, municipal, and transit infrastructure maintenance and replacement. Recent opportunities show that jurisdictions purchase capacitors as part of broader electrical equipment and components contracts, often bundled with ballasts, relays, solenoids, and other control system parts for water treatment, wastewater, electrical grid, and facility operations. The issuing bodies span utility authorities, county governments, school districts, and transit agencies; Kissimmee Utility Authority (Florida), Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation Department (Georgia), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Northside Independent School District (Texas), and Trinity Metro (Texas) have posted relevant opportunities in the past four months. The work is frequently embedded in broader electrical infrastructure contracts rather than capacitor-only procurements, reflecting how state and local agencies standardize on specific component brands and specifications to ensure interoperability with existing SCADA systems, protection schemes, and control panels.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Georgia. Gwinnett County solicited approximately 200 Aerovox Z74S5232NN capacitor units annually through PA028-26 with quotes due June 12, 2026 on an annual contract basis with four renewal options. Hillsborough County issued ITB-26-00277 for Schneider brand electrical components (including capacitor components) at an estimated $519,787.19 over two years, with bids due June 18, 2026; the county also issued ITB-26-00393 for pump station control panels and enclosures at $3.66 million over two years (bids due September 29, 2026), specifying UL 508A-certified fabrication and factory acceptance testing. Kissimmee Utility Authority solicited SEL 451 and SEL 751 protection relays under sole-source procurement SS26054SH (quotations due August 24, 2026), justifying single-source award to Power Connections, Inc. as the exclusive authorized distributor due to compatibility requirements with existing relay fleets and SCADA infrastructure. Most opportunities require FOB destination delivery, 15-day lead times or faster, and firm pricing with optional CPI-U adjustments. No federal set-asides or restrictions appear in the available documentation for these solicitations.
