UNSPSC 32141019: Microwave electron tube

An electronic tube that uses the principle that there is a change of density in an area with certain distance when a speed change is made to the electron with weak electric wave, and as the external circuit is placed, the strong electric wave is to be derelict.

UNSPSC 32141019 Microwave electron tube, a Commodity code, describes specialized vacuum electronic components used in radiofrequency and microwave applications. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show a disconnect from the nominal commodity scope: a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for broad law enforcement equipment (weapons, less-lethal devices, protective gear, communications tools) and a Texas A&M University ITB for a klystron hub subcontracting opportunity. The law enforcement equipment solicitation is a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchase spanning counties in Washington State and thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and nonprofit organizations across the United States and Canada. The klystron posting, while nominally aligned with electron tube technology, lacks sufficient detail in publicly available documentation to confirm the actual scope of work. State and local procurement under this code appears limited and inconsistent with the microwave electron tube commodity designation.

The geographic activity visible in the recent opportunities centers on Washington State (through the Sourcewell law enforcement cooperative covering Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties) and Texas (Texas A&M University). The Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment closed June 16, 2026, with submissions required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov. The Texas A&M University ITB AG-RSCH-ITB-6564 for a klystron hub subcontracting opportunity had a March 3, 2026 bid deadline through the AggieBid platform; a mandatory webinar occurred February 17, 2026, and questions closed February 24, 2026. No award values, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information appear in the available documentation for either solicitation. The narrow and misaligned recent activity suggests this code sees infrequent state and local procurement activity, or tagging inconsistencies obscure the true scope of opportunities under the microwave electron tube classification.
