UNSPSC 39101629: Liquid crystal display LCD backlight or cold cathode lamp

Cold cathode fluorescent lamps CFFLs provide the light source for LCD panels and monitors. Unlike other fluorescent lamps they use cathodes rather than filaments.

UNSPSC 39101629 Liquid crystal display LCD backlight or cold cathode lamp is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no meaningful alignment with LCD backlights or cold cathode lamps. Instead, the solicitations span electrical equipment parts and supplies (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio, Texas), podcast equipment (City of Philadelphia), LED perimeter lighting and electrical components (Illinois Department of Corrections, Pontiac Correctional Center), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing on behalf of Washington state counties and other jurisdictions). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, or the opportunities have been tagged with an incorrect classification.

The four recent opportunities posted between May and June 2026 span school districts, municipalities, state departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Northside Independent School District issued an IFB (IFB2026098) due July 1, 2026, for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services in San Antonio.
