UNSPSC 26111733: Battery energy storage control and management system

An energy storage system / power management system provides firm frequency response (FFR) services, performs Triad management, wholesale trading, and other related services (includes lithium-ion batteries), and evaluates user consumption data taking weather statistics into account, to determine the ideal charging and discharging intervals. It is fully integrated into the ESS system, including the battery modules, an integrated power inverter, a power management unit, along with electronic meters for power consumption in the building, photovoltaic power generation, and power sharing.

UNSPSC 26111733 Battery energy storage control and management system is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with energy storage system control. Of the thirteen recent solicitations posted under or near this code, only two address battery systems directly—a Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) purchase order for Battery 1 Cell 685AH units (due May 22, 2026) and a City of Tampa RFQ for 400 PowerSonic 12VDC rechargeable batteries (due May 12, 2026)—while the remainder span janitorial supplies, law enforcement equipment, EcoFlow backup power systems, UPS maintenance, and unrelated commodities. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code inconsistently or that the code's abstract definition does not match current buying patterns.

The two relevant battery solicitations show limited volume and narrow scope. DART's Battery 1 Cell procurement (Solicitation 2099270, May 2026) seeks specific high-capacity cells for what appears to be backup or stationary power applications, with FOB Destination pricing required and strict delivery timelines enforced. The City of Tampa's rechargeable battery RFQ (26-P-00296, April 2026) targets 400 units of a specific PowerSonic model for general city departmental use, delivered within fourteen days and awarded to the lowest responsive bidder. Neither solicitation disclosed budget ranges or minimum purchase guarantees. The broader context—including Pinellas County's $1.36 million three-year UPS battery maintenance and replacement services contract (Notice of Intent to Sole Source, February 2026, denominated to Vertiv/Liebert) and the City of Phoenix's five-year direct current battery parts and service contract (IFB-26-0107, April 2026)—suggests that state and local demand concentrates on battery maintenance, parts, and service delivery rather than on control and management systems per se. Geographic activity appears scattered across Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Arizona with no dominant procurement center. This code warrants close monitoring for reclassification or clarification, as the current tagging does not reliably predict relevant opportunities.
