UNSPSC 32131014: Bare flexible printed circuit board

Rigid or flexible printed circuit boards without mounted electronic components.

UNSPSC 32131014 Bare flexible printed circuit board is a Commodity code that state and local governments solicit for electronic component procurement, though recent opportunities show broader scope encompassing custom and application-specific circuit board assemblies. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio solicited electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services under IFB2026118 (due September 24, 2026), a replacement for an expiring contract requiring all current vendors to re-bid. The University of Wisconsin-Madison requested bids for APxF Rev K3 custom printed circuit boards under RFB 2027-UWMSN-01396 (due July 20, 2026). Issuing bodies include school districts, higher education institutions, and utility authorities. The code also appears in cooperative purchasing frameworks—Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit serving participating entities across Washington, Oregon, and other states) listed the code under a law enforcement equipment RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026), suggesting flexible circuit boards are part of broader electronics provisioning for public safety and operational systems.

Recent activity spans Texas (NISD and Lubbock Power & Light's outdoor circuit breaker procurement), Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and multi-state cooperative procurement channels. Lubbock Power & Light's RFP #7137-26-ELD (due September 24, 2026) for outdoor vacuum circuit breakers represents infrastructure-grade electrical equipment procurement with detailed technical specifications, protective relays, current transformers, and field installation at the Erskine Substation in Lubbock—a scope that extends beyond bare flexible circuit boards into integrated electrical assemblies but may intersect with component supply chains. The cooperative purchasing model through Sourcewell amplifies reach across thousands of governmental and nonprofit entities nationwide, positioning suppliers to serve diverse end-use applications through standardized contracting. Geographic concentration appears modest across recent solicitations, with representation in the Southwest, Midwest, and multi-state cooperative frameworks.
