UNSPSC 26111710: Product specific battery packs

UNSPSC 26111710 Product specific battery packs (Commodity) encompasses dry cell batteries, vehicle batteries, cordless tool batteries, and marine or industrial batteries that state and local governments procure for fleet operations, facilities maintenance, and departmental use. The code reflects what is actually being solicited: consumable battery products specified by manufacturer and model, delivered on an as-needed basis with firm pricing and no substitutions. Issuing bodies span cities, counties, and special-purpose districts. The City of St. Petersburg and Hillsborough County (Florida) are recent repeat buyers; the former solicited dry cell batteries for warehouse stock (6 line items, 22,578 units annually) under QUOTE26306 (due July 30, 2026), while the latter embedded batteries within a broader janitorial and operational supplies ITB (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) valued at $765,679.84 for fire rescue operations. The County of Orange, California, issued an IFB for 32 vehicle battery models and miscellaneous supplies (maximum contract value $250,000, initial five-year term) supporting fleet maintenance across three delivery locations. Gwinnett County, Georgia, posted an informal written quotation for 50 Milwaukee 18-volt cordless batteries (IWQ 128271, due April 6, 2026). Battery procurement typically includes delivery obligations, inventory maintenance requirements, and firm pricing with no escalation in the first contract year.

Recent activity clusters in Florida (St. Petersburg, Hillsborough County, and Tampa), California (Orange County), and Georgia (Gwinnett County), with additional activity in the cooperative purchasing space (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's electrical supplies contract, ELEC2628, estimated $4,854,470.00 over two years). Issuing bodies commonly structure battery contracts on as-needed or consumable bases with one- to five-year terms and options for renewal. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction: Orange County applies a five percent preference (up to $100,000) for OCLSB and DVBE vendors; Florida municipalities reference SBE, WBE, and MBE participation on a voluntary basis with no minimum thresholds. All-electronic submission through proprietary portals (OpenGov, County e-Procurement systems) is standard. Delivery performance (within 10 days of order, emergency delivery within five business days in some cases) and vendor authorization or factory-distributor status are common requirements.
