UNSPSC 32141018: Beam output tube

A power tube that is centered on the eyes of Grid No. 1 and Grid No. 2 from the tetrode. This is the output tube for power amplification like the pentode.

UNSPSC 32141018 Beam output tube is a Commodity code that captures electronic components and replacement parts procured by state and local government entities. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code to source a broad range of electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and related services rather than beam output tubes specifically. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, state and local law enforcement agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted IFB2026118 in September 2026 for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all incumbent vendors to respond or lose future business opportunity. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 in May 2026 to establish law enforcement equipment contracting solutions for participating entities across Washington state and multiple jurisdictions nationwide.

Geographic activity under the code spans Texas and the Pacific Northwest, with school districts and law enforcement procurement driving recent volume. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement extends across Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, plus numerous other jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. Response dates on recent opportunities have passed — Northside ISD's sealed-bid deadline was September 24, 2026, and Sourcewell's RFP deadline was June 16, 2026. Neither opportunity explicitly identified incumbent vendors, set-aside designations, or specific budget ranges in available documentation.
