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 most recent state and local contract opportunities do not reflect procurement of LCD backlights, cold cathode lamps, or related display components. The source opportunities include electrical equipment and supplies (Northside Independent School District and Pinellas County School District), office automation and podcast equipment (City of Philadelphia), LED perimeter lighting (Illinois Department of Corrections), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative), and camera and access control system maintenance (City of Charlotte). None of these solicitations target the display technologies nominally covered by the code.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. State and local procurement under this commodity code appears either dormant or misclassified in available records. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local contract opportunities in their target markets actually reference LCD backlights or cold cathode lamps, as the current opportunity set does not support a characterization of active demand across school districts, transit authorities, or other public agencies.
