UNSPSC 32131016: Double sided bare printed circuit board

A type of printed circuit board with conductors on both sides but no components.

UNSPSC 32131016 Double sided bare printed circuit board is a Commodity code that encompasses custom and specialty printed circuit boards purchased by state and local public bodies for equipment repair, replacement, and system integration. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct relevance to the nominal scope; state and local buyers are instead sourcing security systems components, electrical parts and supplies, industrial drive modules, printing services, and law enforcement equipment—acquisitions that may incidentally reference circuit board assemblies but do not reflect active procurement of bare circuit boards as a primary commodity. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's July 2026 RFB for APxF Rev K3 Custom Printed Circuit Boards represents the only substantially on-code opportunity in the recent activity block, requesting bids through the ShopUW+ platform with a July 20, 2026 response date and directed inquiries to Eric Thompson at eric.thompson@wisc.edu. The remaining tagged opportunities—Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP, the Sarasota County school district's security systems bid, the City of Phoenix's electrical parts and supplies IFB, Riverside County's industrial drive module RFB, and the City of Madison's printing and mailing services RFP—appear to be miscoded against this commodity.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Wisconsin and scattered across Washington, Florida, Arizona, and California based on the recent-opportunity set, though the mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope undermines the utility of the geographic signal. Sourcing activity under this code shows limited velocity; the single on-code opportunity was posted by a higher-education institution rather than a traditional state or local government buyer. Firms pursuing this code should verify code assignment in live solicitations before committing proposal resources, as the gap between the nominal commodity definition and the work actually being bought suggests either data-quality issues in the source tagging or minimal state and local demand for bare printed circuit boards as a standalone procurement category.
