UNSPSC 26111716: Mercury oxide battery

UNSPSC 26111716 Mercury oxide battery is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve janitorial supplies, rechargeable batteries for city fleet operations, law enforcement equipment, backup power systems, vehicle batteries spanning golf cart, marine, and forklift applications, direct current battery systems for wireless infrastructure, ChargePoint DC charger repair and maintenance, career technical education resources, UAS aerial ignition systems, medical and first aid supplies, and water filtration plant drive modules. Most of these solicitations are either unrelated to mercury oxide batteries or tangentially connected through broad "batteries and supplies" line-item aggregation rather than specific procurement of mercury oxide cells. The code shows fragmented issuing-body participation across state departments, counties, municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities, with no standout repeat buyers visible in the recent-opportunities block.

The geographic spread spans Florida (Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, City of Tampa), Texas (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, City of Phoenix), California (Orange County, Riverside County), Georgia (Department of Natural Resources), and Nevada (Department of Human Services), with activity concentrated in routine fleet battery, power system, and consumables procurement rather than mercury oxide battery-specific sourcing. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84) and the City of Tampa's RFQ for 400 PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries (RFQ 26-P-00296, due May 12, 2026); neither targets mercury oxide chemistry explicitly. The absence of direct mercury oxide battery solicitations in recent postings suggests this code may be over-indexed or mis-tagged in state and local procurement systems, and vendors should verify actual chemistry and specification requirements against the full solicitation documents before pursing opportunities classified under this code.
