UNSPSC 25161502: Unicycles

UNSPSC 25161502 Unicycles is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement activity names electric bicycles and specialty patrol bicycles, not traditional unicycles — the recent opportunities reflect a shift toward e-bikes for mobility and rebate programs, and duty-rated bicycles for law enforcement operations. State and local governments are soliciting under this code for bulk e-bike purchases tied to sustainability and equity initiatives, point-of-sale rebate program administration, and specialized patrol bicycle procurement with integrated law-enforcement equipment mounting and mechanics training. Issuing bodies include cities (Hayward, Atlanta through the Atlanta Regional Commission), metropolitan police departments, and state police divisions. The City of Hayward Transportation Division and the Atlanta Regional Commission appear as repeat buyers in the recent cycle, both seeking e-bike supply or retail partnership for mobility-access programs.

Recent activity spans California, Georgia, Illinois, and the District of Columbia. Representative opportunities include the City of Hayward Transportation Division's RFQ for approximately 250 electric class I bicycles for the Hayward Rides E-bike Program, posted October 9, 2026 with proposals due October 27, 2026, requiring NRTL battery certification, bulk delivery within six months, and vendor capacity demonstration; the Atlanta Regional Commission's RFQ for local e-bike retailers to serve as point-of-sale rebate partners in the City of Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program, posted June 24, 2026 with qualifications due July 23, 2026, targeting 600–800 e-bike purchases with a $960,000 maximum budget and brick-and-mortar location requirements within Atlanta city limits; and the Illinois State Police Division of Patrol's sole-source procurement for law-enforcement-grade patrol bicycles and mechanics training from Volcanic Partners LLC under a $212,000 contract with a June 30, 2026 delivery requirement. The District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department posted two ITB notices for mountain bikes in July 2026 with minimal scope detail in the available records.
