UNSPSC 32141014: Tetrode tubes

UNSPSC 32141014 Tetrode tubes is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations appears to span law enforcement equipment and research-grade electronic components rather than narrowly to vacuum tube inventory. State and local governments and cooperative purchasing vehicles are acquiring these items through multi-jurisdictional procurements that establish framework contracts for downstream use across participating entities. The issuing bodies include county governments, state universities, and regional cooperative purchasing intermediaries like Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government unit that aggregates demand across thousands of public-sector organizations including school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit entities.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Texas. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline for law enforcement equipment to be available to Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, along with numerous other U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. Texas A&M University's AgriLife Administrative Services issued ITB #AG-RSCH-ITB-6564 on March 10, 2026 for a Klystron Hub subcontracting opportunity with a response deadline of March 3, 2026; this opportunity included a mandatory webinar on February 17, 2026 and a question deadline of February 24, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity and the relationship between the nominal commodity scope (tetrode tubes) and the actual recent procurements appears tangential at best; state and local governments may not be actively sourcing this specific component under this code at scale right now.
