UNSPSC 32131020: Assembled flexible printed circuit board

A type of printed circuit board using a flexible plastic substrate and having components assembled to it.

UNSPSC 32131020 Assembled flexible printed circuit board is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal relevant activity. Of the five recent solicitations tagged to this code, only the University of Wisconsin-Madison's RFB 2027-UWMSN-01396 for APxF Rev K3 Custom Printed Circuit Boards (due July 20, 2026) represents actual procurement of the assembled circuit board product itself. The remaining four opportunities — a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative RFP, a Sarasota County school board security systems and services bid, a Phoenix Public Works electrical parts and supplies IFB, and a Riverside County water filtration plant drive module RFB — are unrelated to flexible printed circuit boards and appear to be misclassified under the code. The mismatch suggests that the code sees little genuine activity in state and local procurement right now, or that issuing bodies are applying it inconsistently to equipment and components outside its scope.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison opportunity is the only decision-relevant signal under this code. It is a straightforward bid for custom printed circuit boards submitted through the ShopUW+ procurement portal, with a response deadline of July 20, 2026 and questions directed to Eric Thompson at eric.thompson@wisc.edu. Higher education institutions appear to be the primary state and local buyer of assembled flexible printed circuit boards, though the sparse recent activity suggests this remains a niche procurement category. Vendors should verify that opportunities are legitimately tagged to this code before committing resources to pursuit.
