UNSPSC 26111700: Batteries and cells and accessories

UNSPSC 26111700 Batteries and cells and accessories is a Class code under which state and local governments procure dry cell batteries, UPS battery packs, cordless tool batteries, and battery maintenance services on an as-needed basis. The scope of work encompasses both the supply of batteries in standard consumer formats—AA, AAA, C, D, 9-volt, and lithium variants—and specialized industrial and infrastructure batteries serving public safety communications, backup power systems, and equipment maintenance. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipalities (City of St. Petersburg, City of Tampa, City of Bristol), counties (Hillsborough County, Harris County, Orange County, Gwinnett County), state agencies (Department of State Hospitals), regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and statewide cooperative platforms (Sourcewell). Municipalities and counties dominate recent activity, with city consolidated warehouse operations and county public safety departments and fire rescue services among the repeat use cases. School districts and transit authorities do not appear in the recent opportunities block.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, California, Texas, and Washington, reflecting geographically dispersed procurement across the Southeast, Northeast, and Pacific Northwest. Representative recent opportunities include the City of St. Petersburg's ITB QUOTE26306 (posted July 13, 2026; due July 30, 2026) for six line items of dry cell batteries in standard consumer formats totaling approximately 22,666 units annually for warehouse supply on a three-year contract with two optional one-year renewals; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00319 (posted July 7, 2026; due July 24, 2026) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies including batteries for 47 fire stations, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year; the City of Bristol, Connecticut's ITB 2026081 (posted May 22, 2026; due June 11, 2026) for UPS battery pack kits and installation at three public safety radio sites; and Gwinnett County's IWQ 128271 (posted April 1, 2026; due April 6, 2026) for 50 individual 18-volt cordless Milwaukee batteries. No set-asides are consistently present across the recent solicitations, though some jurisdictions (City of Tampa, Orange County, Department of State Hospitals) offer voluntary small business and disabled veteran enterprise preferences or five-percent discounts where applicable.
