UNSPSC 32121613: Wirewound resistor

UNSPSC 32121613 Wirewound resistor is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations describes electrical components and control system equipment for utility infrastructure, industrial facilities, and municipal operations—not discrete resistor components as the code name suggests. The mismatch between the nominal code definition and actual procurement activity reflects how state and local agencies often tag opportunities with parent or adjacent UNSPSC categories when the specific component or equipment lacks a precise code match. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies purchasing integrated electrical control systems, motor control centers, relay protection equipment, ballasts, capacitors, Schneider Electric components, solenoid assemblies, and standardized electrical parts for SCADA integration, pump stations, water treatment facilities, transit operations, school district maintenance, and county utility infrastructure. The buyer mix spans regional transit authorities (Trinity Metro in Tarrant County, Texas), county utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Bay County, and Gwinnett County), municipalities (City of Tampa, City of Fort Worth), school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas), and cooperative purchasing consortia (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple county and state entities across the Pacific Northwest and nationally).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. Representative opportunities include Kissimmee Utility Authority's sole-source RFQ (SS26054SH, due August 24, 2026) for SEL 451 and SEL 751 protection and feeder relays to replace aging equipment throughout its electrical system, with full SCADA and standardized protection scheme integration required; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB (ITB2600277, due June 18, 2026) for ongoing Schneider Electric component parts over two years at $519,787.19 estimated value with 15-day delivery to four warehouse locations; Hillsborough County's ITB (ITB2600393, due September 29, 2026) for pump station control panels and enclosures over two years at $3.66 million estimated value, with UL 508A certification required and weekly fabrication and delivery commitments; Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation's RFQ (PA028-26, due June 12, 2026) for 200 units annually each of 1500W metal halide ballasts and capacitors; and Trinity Metro's IDIQ electrical parts supplier contract (IFB26T035, due August 20, 2026) for maintenance and emergency operations across transit facilities in Tarrant County.
