UNSPSC 26111725: Nickel sodium chloride batteries

UNSPSC 26111725 Nickel sodium chloride batteries is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a mismatch: the City of Augusta and Escambia County are soliciting electronic waste disposal and recycling services (ITB and ITB respectively); Northside Independent School District is seeking electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services (IFB); Hillsborough County is procuring janitorial and operational supplies (ITB); and the State of Nevada is requesting a battery back-up system through a commodity RFQ. Only two opportunities show direct relevance to battery procurement: the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority issued a purchase order for Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (item 2099270) in May 2026 with response due May 22, 2026, and the City of Tampa posted an RFQ on April 27, 2026 (due May 12, 2026) for 400 units of PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries (model PS1270). The code does not demonstrate active, sustained state and local procurement volume for nickel sodium chloride batteries as a commodity class.

Recent activity spans four states and multiple issuing-body types—transit authorities (DART), cities (Tampa, Phoenix, Augusta), counties (Escambia, Hillsborough), school districts (Northside ISD), and state agencies (Nevada Department of Human Services via Sourcewell cooperative)—but the battery-specific solicitations are sporadic and narrow in scope. Tampa's 400-unit rechargeable battery RFQ and DART's single battery-cell purchase order represent the only directly relevant opportunities. The City of Phoenix's five-year IFB for direct current battery parts, installation, and service (IFB-26-0107, with response due December 8, 2025) reflects maintenance and support contracting rather than battery procurement. Geographic spread includes Texas (DART, Tampa), Georgia (Augusta), Florida (Escambia, Hillsborough, Tampa), Arizona (Phoenix), and Nevada. The code shows no pattern of repeat buyers, large-volume solicitations, or sustained procurement demand that would signal reliable opportunity flow under this specific classification.
