UNSPSC 39101805: Metal halide dry capacitor

Dry capacitor for probe start metal halide lamps.

UNSPSC 39101805 Metal halide dry capacitor is a Commodity code encompassing the purchase of capacitor units for industrial and facility applications, as evidenced in recent state and local solicitations requesting standalone capacitor products or bundled electrical components for ongoing operations and maintenance. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily school districts and county departments managing electrical infrastructure and fleet operations. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued an IFB in June 2026 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services—a broad category that includes capacitors alongside ballasts and other electrical components—while Gwinnett County, Georgia Parks and Recreation Department solicited a more narrowly defined annual contract in June 2026 for approximately 200 units annually of metal halide capacitors (specified as Aerovox Z74S5232NN or approved equivalent) paired with matching 1500W ballasts. The Gwinnett County procurement is the most directly aligned to the code's nominal scope.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Texas based on the two recent opportunities directly soliciting capacitors or encompassing them in electrical equipment contracts. Gwinnett County's RFQ for ballasts and capacitors closed June 12, 2026, with questions due by June 8, 2026 and award made to the lowest responsive and responsible quote on an FOB destination basis to Lawrenceville, Georgia; the contract term includes an initial period with four one-year renewal options, with pricing firm for the initial term and vendors required to specify percentage changes for renewals. Northside Independent School District's IFB 2025098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs and services closed July 1, 2026, replacing an expiring contract, with all proposals required to include shipping and handling to San Antonio. The code shows limited recent state and local solicitation activity specifically targeting capacitor procurement; most opportunities tag broader electrical equipment categories where capacitors are one component among many.
