UNSPSC 32131006: Integrated circuit sockets or mounts

UNSPSC 32131006 Integrated circuit sockets or mounts is a Commodity code that state and local governments source through broad-based electronics procurement solicitations, though recent opportunities show limited direct activity specifically targeting this component class. The code nominally covers passive circuit interconnection hardware, but the recent solicitations tagged under it span a wider range of electronic equipment and assemblies — from general electronic parts and repairs through custom printed circuit boards and outdoor electrical equipment — suggesting that state and local procurement systems sometimes apply this code to broader electronics categories when components are bundled with larger equipment or repair contracts.

State and local buyers include independent school districts, municipal utilities, state universities, and cooperative purchasing consortiums aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued IFB 2026118 in September 2026 for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services with a September 24 response date, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all current vendors to rebid or lose future business. The University of Wisconsin-Madison requested bids for custom printed circuit boards (RFB 2027-UWMSN-01396) due July 20, 2026. Lubbock Power & Light (a municipal utility in Texas) issued RFP #7137-26-ELD on August 27, 2026 for outdoor vacuum circuit breakers rated 15kV with delivery expected by March 21, 2027, responses due September 24, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental entities across the United States and Canada, responses due June 16, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the Upper Midwest, with the code seeing limited frequency overall; the mismatch between the code's specific focus on sockets and mounts and the broader electronics scope of recent opportunities suggests this code may be underutilized or misapplied by some issuing bodies.
