UNSPSC 26111719: Battery testers

UNSPSC 26111719 Battery testers, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent alignment between the code's nominal scope and the solicitations bearing its tag in state and local procurement. The code designation appears to span equipment for testing, diagnostics, or monitoring of batteries across voltage and chemistry types, yet the recent opportunities filed under it—a janitorial and operational supplies contract for a county fire rescue department, a battery cell procurement for a transit authority, a law enforcement equipment cooperative purchasing vehicle, and several other acquisitions—involve battery products themselves (rechargeable units, backup power systems, vehicle batteries, UPS systems, chargers, and ignition equipment) rather than standalone testing devices or diagnostic instrumentation. Only one solicitation, Pinellas County's UPS battery maintenance contract, involves services with a diagnostic or testing component, but that is ancillary to a broader maintenance and replacement service scope.

Recent activity under the code spans multiple state and local jurisdictions including Florida (Hillsborough County, City of Tampa, Pinellas County, Broward County), Texas (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Klein ISD), California (Orange County, City of Phoenix), Georgia (Department of Natural Resources), and Minnesota via Sourcewell's multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle. The issuing bodies are diverse—county departments, city procurement offices, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose district cooperatives. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's IFB for janitorial and operational supplies (posted July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84), Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's purchase order for Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (posted May 15, 2026, due May 22, 2026), City of Tampa's RFQ for 400 PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries (posted April 27, 2026, due May 12, 2026), and Orange County Public Works' IFB for vehicle batteries and supplies (posted April 24, 2026, due March 25, 2026, contract value not to exceed $250,000 over five years). The code shows sparse decision-relevant activity; business development professionals should verify with each issuing body whether the UNSPSC tag reflects the actual procurement need or represents a data-entry mismatch before allocating pursuit resources.
