UNSPSC 26111718: Silver oxide batteries

UNSPSC 26111718 Silver oxide batteries is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as components embedded in specialized equipment and consumable supplies for operations—notably in fire rescue, transit, law enforcement, and power infrastructure. Recent solicitations show the code tagged to janitorial and operational supplies, rechargeable battery packs for transit systems, law enforcement equipment frameworks, UPS battery maintenance contracts, and first aid supplies, though most of these opportunities involve batteries as part of a larger consumable or service bundle rather than silver oxide batteries as a standalone line item. The issuing bodies span county governments (Hillsborough County, Riverside County, Pinellas County), municipal fire and transit departments (Tampa, Phoenix, Broward County), state agencies (Nevada, Georgia), independent school districts (Klein ISD), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). A significant share of recent posting activity comes from Florida jurisdictions—Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, and the City of Tampa—alongside Texas and broader Southwest representation.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Washington-state cooperative procurement channels. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (due July 24, 2026, estimated contract value $765,679.84) serving 47 fire stations; the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's competitive bid for Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (due May 22, 2026); the City of Tampa's RFQ for 400 units of PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries (due May 12, 2026); and Pinellas County's notice of intent to sole source Liebert Power Products UPS battery maintenance and replacement services (due February 19, 2026, contract value $1,357,912.07 over three years). The code shows fragmented activity across small to mid-sized commodity procurements and longer-term service contracts, with no dominant single buyer and limited evidence of standing requirements or annual recurring volumes under this specific commodity designation.
