UNSPSC 26111703: Vehicle batteries

UNSPSC 26111703 Vehicle batteries is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of batteries for fleet vehicles, golf carts, marine equipment, and heavy machinery by state and local governments. State and local buyers solicit under this code for automotive replacement batteries (ranging from standard group-size automotive batteries to specialized 8D and group types), golf cart and marine batteries, deep-cycle batteries for equipment, and related supplies such as battery terminals and key fobs. The issuing bodies include city purchasing departments, county fleet services, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and transit authorities. Buyers are using this code for both recurring operational needs—replacements for vehicle fleets—and specialized facility requirements such as batteries for state supported living centers and county fleet maintenance operations.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions. The City of Tampa, Florida issued an RFQ for automotive 8D batteries and supplies (due August 4, 2026) under 26-P-00454; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is soliciting vehicle batteries and key fobs for Richmond State Supported Living Center via IFB HHS0017279 V2 (responses due August 4, 2026, with a $30,000 estimated annual value and a 50-mile geographic constraint on bidders). Jackson County, Missouri posted ITB 26-034 for batteries across six categories—cars, trucks, heavy equipment, golf carts, lawn and garden, and marine—with a $37,000 estimated annual spend and delivery to six locations (due June 2, 2026). The County of Orange, California issued IFB-080-2909801-RN for vehicle battery and miscellaneous supplies on an as-needed basis with a five-year term and a $250,000 not-to-exceed value (IFBs and RFQs remain the dominant notice types). The City of Orlando's Fleet Management Division sought automotive batteries across 37 BCI group sizes via IFB25-0219 (due October 10, 2025, with a three-year initial term and optional two additional one-year renewals). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, California, Missouri, and Georgia, with additional activity in Arizona and elsewhere across the country. Most procurements emphasize firm, fixed pricing on an FOB Destination basis with delivery windows ranging from two hours for emergency stock to seven business days for special orders, and contract terms typically run one to five years with optional renewals tied to performance and cost-of-living adjustments.
