UNSPSC 32140000: Electron tube devices and accessories

UNSPSC 32140000 Electron tube devices and accessories (Family) encompasses law enforcement equipment and specialized electronic components that state and local governments procure through both direct purchasing and cooperative contracting vehicles. The recent activity under this code shows a split between broad law enforcement equipment frameworks and specialized technical components such as klystrons used in research or operational settings. State and local issuing bodies pursuing opportunities under this Family include county governments, higher education institutions, and state cooperative purchasing entities acting on behalf of multiple participating jurisdictions. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, and Texas A&M University's AgriLife Administrative Services have both posted solicitations under this code in the past four months, reflecting the diversity of buyers and use cases.

Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, is a multistate cooperative procurement covering Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, along with jurisdictions across the United States and Canada, designed to establish framework agreements for use by governmental agencies, school districts, and tribal governments. Texas A&M University's ITB #AG-RSCH-ITB-6564 for a Klystron procurement, which closed March 3, 2026, represents the specialized end of the Family's scope. Geographic activity centers on Washington state and Texas, with the Sourcewell vehicle extending reach nationally through its cooperative structure. No award values, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information are disclosed in either solicitation.
