UNSPSC 26111726: Fluorescent ballast battery unit

Special battery pack designed for use with florescent ballasts.

UNSPSC 26111726 Fluorescent ballast battery unit is a Commodity code that covers batteries and battery units used in facility operations, though recent state and local solicitation activity shows the code being tagged primarily to broader electronics procurement and recycling services rather than ballast battery equipment specifically. State and local governments purchasing under or near this code are acquiring rechargeable batteries for operational use, battery backup systems, direct current battery installations and maintenance, and end-of-life electronics containing batteries for recycling or resale. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (City of Tampa, City of Phoenix, City of Augusta), county waste and environmental departments (Escambia County, Hillsborough County), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and state purchasing divisions (State of Nevada). The City of Phoenix and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority appear as repeat buyers seeking specialized battery systems for critical infrastructure and transit operations.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast, Texas, and Southwest regions, with the most visible activity in Florida (multiple electronics recycling and janitorial supply solicitations from Escambia County and Hillsborough County), Georgia (City of Augusta electronic waste disposal ITB 27-075, due September 22, 2026), Texas (Northside Independent School District electronic equipment IFB 2026118, due September 24, 2026; Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority battery procurement, due May 22, 2026), and Nevada (State of Nevada battery backup system RFQ, due May 27, 2026). The City of Tampa solicited rechargeable batteries (RFQ 26-P-00296, due May 12, 2026) for departmental use, and the City of Phoenix issued a five-year contract solicitation for direct current batteries and power plant parts and installation (IFB-26-0107). These opportunities reflect mixed demand: tactical batteries for fleet and infrastructure maintenance, specialty batteries for emergency backup and transit operations, and batteries as a component of broader electronics procurement and end-of-life management programs. Most recent bids closed in May through September 2026; no active opportunities currently posted.
