UNSPSC 26111731: Seawater battery

A device that charges and discharges electricity through an electrochemical reaction between sodium ions dissolved in seawater and water.

UNSPSC 26111731 Seawater battery is a Commodity code whose recent state and local opportunities show almost no alignment with seawater battery procurement—the solicitations tagged under this code address electronic waste recycling, janitorial supplies, law enforcement equipment, conventional rechargeable batteries, and direct current power plant maintenance. Of the nine recent records, only two mention batteries at all: Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's May 2026 purchase order for Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (likely lead-acid or conventional stationary storage batteries for transit operations) and the City of Tampa's April 2026 RFQ for 400 PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries for general city departments. Neither procurement specifies seawater battery technology. The code shows no recent state and local purchasing activity for seawater batteries specifically.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that seawater battery procurement through state and local channels has not yet emerged as a material procurement stream. Firms pursuing this code would find little actionable activity grounded in seawater battery technology itself. Buyers currently tagging procurement under UNSPSC 26111731 appear to be using the code as a catch-all for battery-related or electronic equipment solicitations without regard to battery chemistry or application. Until state and local agencies begin sourcing seawater batteries specifically—whether for energy storage, grid applications, or transportation electrification—this code will remain inactive for procurement purposes at the state and local level.
