UNSPSC 24113105: Ballot box

UNSPSC 24113105 Ballot box is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name suggests physical voting equipment, yet recent opportunities tagged under this code encompass irrigation system installation (City of DeBary), voter education platform design and development (City of Detroit), voter registration database systems (Cuyahoga County Board of Elections), ballot printing and mailing services (DeKalb County, Georgia), and law enforcement equipment cooperative procurement (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties). Only the DeKalb County ITB for ballot printing and absentee ballot mailing services directly relates to elections infrastructure; the remaining opportunities reflect a clear tagging mismatch rather than legitimate ballot-box procurement activity.

The single elections-adjacent opportunity under this code is DeKalb County, Georgia's ITB 2026-065 for ballot printing and absentee ballot printing and mailing services, posted May 26, 2026 with bids due July 2, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. via the County's eProcurement Portal. The contract is annual with four one-year renewal options and covers external ballot printing and absentee ballot packet mailing for scheduled elections during the contract period. No other recent opportunities represent genuine ballot-box solicitations. The absence of substantive ballot-box procurement activity under this code suggests either limited current demand for standalone ballot-box equipment or systemic misclassification in state and local procurement tagging systems. Firms pursuing elections-equipment opportunities should monitor deKalb County directly and search under elections-infrastructure codes rather than rely on this Commodity code as a reliable signal.
