UNSPSC 26111717: Manganese batteries

UNSPSC 26111717 Manganese batteries is a Commodity code that covers single-cell and multi-cell battery units procured by state and local governments for operational use across diverse department functions, from emergency services to water treatment facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show actual purchasing focused on rechargeable battery systems, UPS battery maintenance and replacement services, and battery-backed power systems rather than traditional consumer manganese cells. The issuing-body mix spans county governments (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Riverside County), city procurement departments (Tampa, Phoenix), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Broward County Transportation Department), state purchasing divisions (Nevada, Georgia), and independent school districts (Klein ISD). County and city fire rescue departments, water utilities, transportation departments, and emergency operations centers represent the primary end users.

Recent opportunities include the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's solicitation for Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (May 22, 2026 deadline), the City of Tampa's RFQ for 400 units of PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries, model PS1270 (May 12, 2026 deadline), Pinellas County's notice of intent to sole-source UPS battery maintenance and replacement services for Liebert Power Products across four regional service areas at $1,357,912.07 over three years (February 19, 2026 deadline), and the City of Phoenix's five-year IFB for parts, installation, and service of direct current batteries and power plants for the Regional Wireless Cooperative (December 10, 2025 deadline). Geographic activity spans Florida (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Broward County, Tampa), Texas (Dallas, Houston area), California (Riverside County), Arizona (Phoenix), and Georgia, with secondary activity in Washington and Nevada. Volumes range from single-unit replacement to multi-year service contracts, with contract values reaching into the millions for comprehensive maintenance programs but typically in the $400,000–$765,000 range for consumable and replacement supply purchases.
