UNSPSC 32141015: Pentode tubes

UNSPSC 32141015 Pentode tubes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The two opportunities tagged under this code—a Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment and a Texas A&M University ITB for a klystron hub subcontracting opportunity—do not substantively involve pentode tubes or vacuum-tube electronics procurement. State and local governments may source pentode tubes incidentally as components within broader equipment or systems purchases, but the recent solicitation record provides no concrete evidence of direct pentode-tube procurement or a sustained category of work under this code at the state or local level.

The geographic reach spans Washington state, Minnesota (through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative framework), and Texas, though these jurisdictions appear in opportunities that are tangentially or incorrectly tagged. Sourcewell's RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, targets law enforcement equipment across multiple Washington counties and a national cooperative participant base. Texas A&M University's ITB AG-RSCH-ITB-6564, posted March 10, 2026 with a March 3, 2026 deadline, addresses a klystron hub subcontracting need. The code's silence on state or local pentode-tube procurement suggests either minimal purchasing under this code or consistent misclassification in available solicitation records.
