UNSPSC 26111726: Fluorescent ballast battery unit

Special battery pack designed for use with florescent ballasts.

UNSPSC 26111726 Fluorescent ballast battery unit, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code encompass rechargeable batteries, UPS systems, DC fast-charging equipment, and aerial ignition systems—none of which align with fluorescent ballast batteries. The issuing bodies represent a broad mix: county transportation departments (Broward County, Dallas Area Rapid Transit), state purchasing divisions (Nevada, Georgia), cities (Tampa, Phoenix), special-purpose districts (Pinellas County), and transit authorities. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's janitorial and operational supplies bid and Klein Independent School District's career technical education procurement appear unrelated to the nominal code scope.

The geographic spread spans Florida (Tampa, Hillsborough County, Broward County, Pinellas County), Texas (Dallas, Harris County), Minnesota/Washington (Sourcewell cooperative), Nevada, Georgia, Arizona (Phoenix), and California (Riverside County). Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's ITB2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies (response due July 24, 2026, estimated contract value $765,679.84), Dallas Area Rapid Transit's procurement of Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (response due May 22, 2026), the City of Tampa's RFQ for 400 PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries (due May 12, 2026), and Pinellas County's Notice of Intent to Sole Source for UPS battery maintenance and replacement services (due February 19, 2026, contract value $1,357,912.07 over three years). The code appears to be a tagging artifact; vendors should verify actual commodity specifications in individual solicitations rather than relying on the fluorescent ballast descriptor.
