UNSPSC 26111708: Nickel iron batteries

UNSPSC 26111708 Nickel iron batteries is a Commodity code that encompasses battery supply and related services state and local governments procure, though recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct alignment with the nominal category. The code appears in state and local opportunities primarily as an incidental tagging within broader consumables and operational supplies procurements rather than as a primary procurement focus. The kinds of issuing bodies soliciting under codes in this family include county governments, city procurement offices, county fire rescue departments, regional purchasing cooperatives, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative vehicles. Recent opportunities span supply contracts for general consumables including batteries, janitorial and operational supplies for county fire stations, law enforcement equipment frameworks, and electrical supplies through cooperative purchasing arrangements. The geographic spread of recent activity includes Oregon, Florida (with both city and county-level procurement in the Tampa Bay region), Texas, Washington state, and multi-state cooperative arrangements through regional and statewide purchasing vehicles.

Representative recent opportunities include Marion County, Oregon's RFP for battery transportation and recycling services (second letting, due October 14, 2026), the City of St. Petersburg's RFQ for dry cell batteries in six line items totaling approximately 22,966 units annually for three-year supply (due July 30, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for consumable janitorial and operational supplies supporting 47 fire stations with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year (due July 24, 2026). The broader opportunities under related codes include Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's RFP for electrical supplies catalog discount bids (estimated $4,854,470.00 over two years, due May 28, 2026) and Sourcewell's multi-jurisdictional RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026). The code shows limited recent activity with direct nickel iron battery procurements; most tagged opportunities involve general battery supply, consumables, or equipment categories where the code appears as secondary classification rather than primary procurement need.
