UNSPSC 25161509: Childrens bicycles

UNSPSC 25161509 Children's bicycles, a Commodity code, encompasses electric bicycles and specialty bikes procured by state and local governments for youth, senior, and targeted-population mobility programs, as well as law-enforcement patrol bicycles for specialized operations. Recent state and local solicitations show two distinct procurement tracks: fleet electrification and rebate programs on the consumer side, and purpose-built duty-rated bicycles for police operations. The City of Hayward Transportation Division is procuring approximately 250 electric class I bicycles for a California Air Resources Board–funded program targeting middle and high school students, college students, persons with disabilities, families, and senior residents, with responses due October 27, 2026 under an RFQ that emphasizes NRTL battery certification, bulk-purchase pricing, and vendor capacity to deliver within six months. The Atlanta Regional Commission is recruiting local retailers to participate in the City of Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program, offering rebates ranging from $550 to $1,600 per bike on approximately 600–800 units, with a total budget of $960,000 and participation limited to brick-and-mortar vendors operating within Atlanta city limits for at least one year prior. On the law-enforcement side, the Illinois State Police is making a sole-source award to Volcanic Partners LLC (later listed as Volcanic Manufacturing Inc.) for patrol bicycles and mechanics training under its Bicycle Unit Response Team program, with an estimated contract value of $212,000 and a June 30, 2026, delivery requirement.

Geographic activity centers on California and the District of Columbia for consumer-focused e-bike procurement, Georgia for rebate-program administration, and Illinois for law-enforcement specialty bicycles. The District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department posted two ITBs for mountain bikes with a July 28, 2026 bid due date, though available documentation provides minimal scope detail. Issuing bodies span city transportation departments, regional planning commissions managing federal or state climate grants, and state police agencies. The code sees periodic but not continuous activity; the current pipeline reflects a wave of e-bike rebate and climate-mobility initiatives funded through state and federal grants, alongside sporadic law-enforcement procurement of specialized patrol equipment.
