UNSPSC 32141100: Electron tube parts and accessories

UNSPSC 32141100 Electron tube parts and accessories is a Class code under which state and local governments procure specialized electronic components and assemblies, though recent activity shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations. The issuing bodies posting under this code span cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government service cooperative), higher education institutions (Texas A&M University), and county governments across multiple states. The code's abstract description does not reflect the concrete work being solicited; recent opportunities tagged to this code include law enforcement equipment frameworks and klystron procurement, neither of which are electron tube parts in the traditional sense.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Upper Midwest and South. Sourcewell posted RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, establishing a cooperative contracting solution for thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada, with participating counties in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima). Texas A&M University's AgriLife Administrative Services posted ITB #AG-RSCH-ITB-6564 for a klystron hub subcontracting opportunity on March 10, 2026, with a March 3, 2026 submission deadline (now past). The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity with clear scope mismatches, suggesting either inconsistent tagging by issuing bodies or a category used infrequently for its stated purpose.
