UNSPSC 32121700: Discrete components

UNSPSC 32121700 Discrete components, a Class code, encompasses electrical components and replacement parts that state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance, facility operations, and fleet support. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying specific, often branded electrical components — protective relays, switchgear elements, solenoids, ballasts, capacitors, fuses, network protectors, and brake and charging system parts — typically through annual requirements or as-needed contracts. Work under this code includes both supply-only arrangements and integrated supply-and-installation services, with vendors required to meet OEM specifications, maintain delivery commitments, and often hold distributor certifications or industry-specific licenses.

Issuing bodies span a mix of jurisdictions: city governments (Arlington, Tampa, Austin, Gainesville), county utilities and departments (Hillsborough County, Orange County, Gwinnett County, San Mateo County), a state cooperative (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions), and a municipal transit authority (City of Gainesville transit). Recent opportunities show activity across Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, and through multi-state cooperative frameworks. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for Schneider brand electrical components (ITB2600277, due June 18, 2026, estimated contract value $519,787.19 over two years), City of Tampa's RFQ for supply and installation of a Zenith ATS solenoid at the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility (26P00389, due June 19, 2026), Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation's annual contract for ballasts and capacitors (PA028-26, RFQ due June 12, 2026, approximately 200 units annually per component type), and City of Austin's IFB for electric protective devices including network protectors and current-limiting fuses on an annual basis (IFB1100CPG1005, bids due March 10, 2026). A multi-jurisdiction cooperative sourcing through Sourcewell (RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026) sought law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada.
