UNSPSC 32131017: Multilayer bare printed circuit board

A type of printed circuit board with no components, consisting of several thin boards, separated by insulating layers and including required internal and external connections.

UNSPSC 32131017 Multilayer bare printed circuit board is a Commodity code covering custom and standard multilayer PCBs that state and local governments procure as components for specialized equipment and systems. Recent state and local solicitations show actual purchasing focused on application-specific circuit boards for institutional infrastructure and equipment—ranging from custom boards for university research equipment to circuit boards embedded within larger electrical systems. Issuing bodies span school districts, universities, municipal utilities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles; Northside Independent School District and the University of Wisconsin–Madison appear as recent active buyers. The scope extends beyond the code's nominal name to encompass integration services, technical documentation, and spare parts support alongside the boards themselves, as evidenced by the University of Wisconsin–Madison's July 2026 bid request for APxF Rev K3 Custom Printed Circuit Boards and Northside ISD's September 2026 IFB for electronic equipment and parts that likely includes PCB components.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas and the Upper Midwest, with recent opportunities posted by Texas school and utility entities (Northside ISD in San Antonio; Lubbock Power & Light) and Wisconsin higher education (University of Wisconsin–Madison). Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026118 for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services with bids due September 24, 2026, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison's RFB 2027-UWMSN-01396 for APxF Rev K3 Custom Printed Circuit Boards with bids due July 20, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026) also appears in the recent block, though its alignment with the multilayer PCB code is unclear from available documentation. The Lubbock Power & Light RFP #7137-26-ELD for outdoor circuit breakers (due September 24, 2026) likely involves PCBs as embedded components rather than primary procurements under this code.
