UNSPSC 32121513: Vacuum capacitor

A capacitor that uses the vacuum condition as the dielectric substance.

UNSPSC 32121513 Vacuum capacitor is a Commodity code that captures electrical components and replacement parts state and local governments procure for maintenance, repair, and system upgrades across utilities, transit authorities, municipalities, and special districts. Recent solicitations show this code is applied broadly to electrical component procurement, though the term "vacuum capacitor" does not map precisely to the work actually being solicited. State and local buyers under this code are sourcing ballasts and capacitors for facility and infrastructure operations, electrical panels and control enclosures for water and wastewater systems, and standardized electrical components for SCADA integration and protection relay systems. Issuing bodies include county utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Bay County in Florida), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas), transit authorities (Trinity Metro in Texas), and cities (Tampa, Arlington, Fort Worth in Texas). Repeat buyers in the recent block include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, which has posted multiple electrical component and fabrication solicitations.
