UNSPSC 26111706: Electronic batteries

UNSPSC 26111706 Electronic batteries is a Commodity code encompassing the procurement of batteries and battery systems for operational use across state and local government agencies. State and local buyers under this code purchase replacement batteries for critical infrastructure, including rechargeable and stationary power systems for public safety, transportation, water treatment, and emergency operations. The solicitations show a mix of immediate consumable purchases (400 rechargeable units for city departments), long-term maintenance contracts for specialized power systems (UPS and direct current batteries serving fire rescue and emergency facilities), and equipment-specific service agreements (ChargePoint DC charger repair and maintenance for transit authorities). Issuing bodies include county governments, city purchasing departments, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts; Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART), Broward County Transportation Department, and Pinellas County appear across multiple recent opportunities. The code reflects demand driven by aging infrastructure requiring replacement parts, emergency backup power requirements at critical facilities, and ongoing maintenance obligations for specialized charging and power management equipment.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County, Tampa, Pinellas County, Broward County), Texas (Dallas area, Houston area), and extends to California, Nevada, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tampa's RFQ for 400 PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries (Solicitation 26-P-00296, due May 12, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB for consumable operational supplies including batteries for 47 fire stations (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84), the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's competitive bid for Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (Solicitation 2099270, due May 22, 2026), and Pinellas County's sole-source procurement for UPS battery maintenance and replacement services for Liebert Power Products equipment across county facilities (Contract 26-0024-N, due February 19, 2026, total contract value $1,357,912.07 over three years). Delivery timelines typically range from five to fourteen days, with firm fixed pricing and FOB destination terms common across bids. Set-asides and preference programs vary by jurisdiction—Pinellas County's UPS contract identified the incumbent Vertiv Corporation by manufacturer authorization, while the City of Tampa's medical supplies solicitation (which included batteries as line items) designated a 5% small local business enterprise discount up to $10,000.
