UNSPSC 26111721: Nickel metal hydride batteries

UNSPSC 26111721 Nickel metal hydride batteries is a Commodity code that spans consumable janitorial supplies, rechargeable battery units, UPS and backup power systems, and specialized batteries for transit and emergency equipment. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase batteries and battery-backup systems for fire rescue operations, water treatment facilities, emergency power, and transit vehicle charging infrastructure. The issuing bodies range across county governments, cities, transit authorities, and state purchasing divisions, with particular activity among Florida counties (Hillsborough and Pinellas), Texas transit authorities, and state procurement offices. Recent solicitations show demand for both small-quantity sealed bids (rechargeable 12VDC units, battery modules for UPS systems) and larger indefinite-quantity contracts for maintenance and replacement services across distributed facilities.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Nevada. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB2600319 on July 7, 2026 (due July 24, 2026) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies including batteries for 47 fire stations, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year.
