UNSPSC 32141000: Electron Tubes

UNSPSC 32141000 Electron Tubes, a Class code, covers electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services that state and local governments buy to support operational needs across school districts, law enforcement agencies, and general administrative functions. Recent solicitations show procurement of replacement electronic components, repair services, and rental arrangements rather than specialized tube-based electronics; the code appears to function as a catchall for miscellaneous electronic goods and support services. Issuing bodies include independent school districts and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional government coalitions, with school districts appearing as direct buyers for facility-level electronic equipment needs.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government unit and cooperative purchasing authority, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment across multiple Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and participating entities throughout the United States and Canada. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued IFB 2026118 on September 1, 2026 with a September 24, 2026 deadline for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services, requiring all incumbent vendors to resubmit or lose future business under the expiring IFB 2024-160. Recent activity spans Texas and the Pacific Northwest, though the cooperative purchasing structure of the Sourcewell opportunity extends potential reach nationwide. State and local procurement under this code remains sporadic and geographically dispersed, with limited evidence of sustained category management or major volume commitments.
