UNSPSC 25161507: Bicycles

UNSPSC 25161507 Bicycles, a Commodity code, covers electric-assist and conventional bikes purchased in bulk by state and local governments, primarily for community mobility programs, law-enforcement operations, and school-based transportation initiatives. Recent solicitations show demand for Class I and Class II e-bikes with nationally certified battery systems, conventional mountain bikes for police patrol use, and purpose-built duty-rated frames engineered for law-enforcement dismounts and crowd-control operations. Issuing bodies span city transportation departments, state police agencies, school districts, and regional commissions; the mix includes the City of Hayward and City of Atlanta (e-bike rebate and bulk acquisition programs), the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, Salt Lake City Corporation (maintenance and fleet services), Takoma Park Maryland schools, and the Illinois State Police. Geographic activity concentrates in California, the District of Columbia, Utah, Maryland, and Illinois, with solicitations reflecting state and local investment in sustainable transportation, active-transportation equity programs, and specialized law-enforcement fleet capability.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Hayward Transportation Division's RFQ for approximately 250 Class I e-bikes (Solicitation 27004, due October 27, 2026) funded through a California Air Resources Board Clean Mobility in Schools Program Grant with battery certification and prevailing-wage compliance required; the Atlanta Regional Commission's local-vendor-only RFQ for e-bike retailers to participate in the City of Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program (RFQu706, due July 23, 2026) targeting 600–800 unit sales with a $960,000 maximum budget; the Illinois State Police's sole-source award to Volcanic Partners LLC for law-enforcement-grade patrol bicycles and mechanics training (estimated $212,000, delivery June 30, 2026); the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department's Invitation for Bid for mountain bikes (two separate solicitations, DOC837422 and DOC837868, both due July 28–31, 2026); and Salt Lake City Corporation's RFB for eBike maintenance, repair, and replacement services citywide (SLCI27006, due July 30, 2026) with five-year contract term, $1 million professional liability coverage requirement, and biannual preventative-maintenance obligations on the city's EcoMotion and Magnum fleets.
