UNSPSC 24113105: Ballot box

UNSPSC 24113105 Ballot box is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it diverge sharply from physical ballot boxes — the actual work being solicited spans voter education platforms, voter registration and election database systems, ballot printing and mailing services, and ballot scanning and tabulation equipment. State and local elections departments, county boards of elections, and a statewide cooperative (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties) are the primary issuing bodies. The work reflects elections-technology modernization, particularly voter data management, ballot logistics, and accessible voting infrastructure, rather than procurement of physical ballot containers.

Recent opportunities center on the Great Lakes and Southeast. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement issued an RFP for a personalized voter education platform due July 13, 2026; Cuyahoga County Board of Elections (Ohio) issued an RFP for a voter registration and election database management system also due July 13, 2026; and DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB for ballot printing and absentee ballot mailing services due July 2, 2026. The State of Maine Department of Secretary of State, Elections Division, issued an RFP to lease a statewide ballot scanning and tabulating system with accessible voting units due April 23, 2026, serving approximately 500 municipalities. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal scope — physical ballot boxes do not appear in any of the recent solicitations — suggesting the code assignment may not reflect current elections procurement taxonomy at the state and local level.
