UNSPSC 26111718: Silver oxide batteries

UNSPSC 26111718 Silver oxide batteries is a Commodity code tracking procurement of individual battery types for state and local end use. Recent opportunities reveal that governments purchase silver oxide and related battery types primarily through broader purchasing categories that bundle batteries with electronics recycling, equipment maintenance, and operational supplies rather than as discrete silver oxide line items. The City of Augusta, Georgia's electronic waste disposal RFQ (ITB 27-075, due September 22, 2026) encompasses batteries as a component of end-of-life electronics collection; Escambia County's recycled goods purchase contracts (ITB PD 25-26.102 and PD 25-26.104, posted July 23 and August 14, 2026) include lead-acid batteries as part of scrap metal and electronics recovery. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority issued a direct procurement for Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (item 2099270, due May 22, 2026), representing specialized battery stock for transit operations. The City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00296 (posted April 27, 2026, due May 12, 2026) sought 400 units of PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries for general city department use. The City of Phoenix's five-year contract IFB-26-0107 for direct current batteries and power plants (due December 8, 2025) covers parts, installation, and service of battery systems for the Regional Wireless Cooperative. Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments, county waste and operations agencies, transit authorities, and school districts, with no dominant repeat buyer evident across these recent opportunities.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Escambia County, Hillsborough County, City of Tampa), Georgia (City of Augusta), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), Nevada (State Purchasing Division), Arizona (City of Phoenix), and includes a multistate cooperative procurement through Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties and others. The opportunities cluster in the Southeast, Southwest, and Texas corridor, with scattered activity in the Great Plains and Upper Midwest. The code shows thin volume in recent state and local posting—most opportunities do not isolate silver oxide batteries as a distinct procurement line but instead embed battery supply within broader electronics, recycling, or operational-supplies solicitations. Direct battery procurement appears limited to specialized applications (transit backup power, city wireless infrastructure, school district IT operations, municipal facilities).
