UNSPSC 25161501: Touring bicycles

UNSPSC 25161501 Touring bicycles is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure electric bicycles, law-enforcement-grade patrol bicycles, and standard bicycles for public programs and operations. Recent opportunities show demand for electric Class 1 and Class 2/3 e-bikes supplied in bulk quantities to municipality-managed rebate programs and school-distribution initiatives, as well as specialized patrol bicycles equipped with law-enforcement-specific mounting systems and reinforced frames for tactical operations. Issuing bodies include city transportation and procurement divisions, metropolitan police departments, regional commissions managing sustainable-mobility initiatives, and state law-enforcement agencies. The City of Hayward, the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the Illinois State Police have all posted solicitations under or aligned with this code within the past six months, indicating activity across municipal, regional, and state levels.

Recent procurement in this code spans California, the District of Columbia, Georgia, and Illinois. The City of Hayward issued an RFQ on October 9, 2026, seeking approximately 250 electric Class I bicycles for the Hayward Rides E-bike Program with a response deadline of October 27, 2026; evaluation favors NRTL battery certification (50 percent weight), pricing for bulk quantities (25 percent), vendor capacity for six-month delivery (15 percent), and value-added services (10 percent).
