UNSPSC 32121514: Paper capacitor

A capacitor that uses the paper as the dielectric substance.

UNSPSC 32121514 Paper capacitor is a Commodity code. The source contains six recent state and local contract opportunities, but only one—Gwinnett County's procurement for ballasts and capacitors—is directly aligned with the code's scope. The Gwinnett County solicitation explicitly names capacitors (Aerovox Z74S5232NN or approved equivalent) as part of an annual requirements contract for the Parks and Recreation Department, requesting approximately 200 units annually. The remaining five opportunities in the dataset involve elevator and escalator maintenance (Arlington/Fort Worth), a solenoid for a water treatment facility (Tampa), electrical and mechanical upgrades at a water reclamation facility (Orange County), heavy-duty bus and truck brakes and parts (Gainesville), transformer replacement (San Mateo County), and electric protective devices (Austin)—none of which are paper capacitors or closely related components. The code shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement relative to the broader electrical and mechanical infrastructure contracting market reflected in these opportunities.

Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an RFQ for ballasts and capacitors on an annual contract posted June 2, 2026, with quotes due June 12, 2026. The county sought approximately 200 units annually of each component type, with firm pricing for the initial contract term and renewal options spanning four additional one-year periods. Quotes were to be submitted by email or mail to Gwinnett County Financial Services Purchasing Division, with award made to the lowest responsive and responsible quote. Pricing was required on an FOB destination basis to the Gwinnett County Parks Operations Center in Lawrenceville, and the county reserved the right to request product samples at the vendor's expense. Beyond this single Gwinnett County activity, paper capacitors show no other recent documented procurement activity among state and local buyers in the source material, suggesting the code remains a niche commodity with limited current market engagement.
