UNSPSC 25161500: Pedal powered vehicles

UNSPSC 25161500 Pedal powered vehicles is a Class code covering electric bicycles and e-bikes procured by state and local governments for public programs, employee use, and law-enforcement operations. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying electric class I and class II bikes for community mobility and equity initiatives, e-bike maintenance and repair services, point-of-sale rebate fulfillment through local retailers, and duty-rated patrol bicycles for law-enforcement crowd management and community policing. The issuing bodies span city transportation divisions, regional commissions managing sustainability programs, metropolitan police departments, state police agencies, and municipal corporations operating shared mobility fleets. Evaluation focuses on safety certification (particularly NRTL battery testing), bulk pricing, vendor capacity and delivery reliability over compressed performance windows, and value-added services such as training or maintenance support.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Utah, Colorado, Illinois, Georgia, and the District of Columbia. The City of Hayward Transportation Division posted an RFQ on October 9, 2026, seeking approximately 250 electric class I bicycles for the Hayward Rides E-bike Program with a due date of October 27, 2026 and delivery required by June 2027, funded through a California Air Resources Board grant with strict battery safety certification and prevailing wage requirements.
