UNSPSC 26131815: Electric accumulator

Used in the storage of energy or power.

UNSPSC 26131815 Electric accumulator, Commodity tier, comprises batteries, accumulators, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units, and integrated energy storage systems that state and local governments procure for backup power, emergency response infrastructure, water and wastewater treatment facilities, transit systems, correctional institutions, and mission-critical municipal operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring everything from small-scale UPS maintenance contracts and soft-starter battery components to large-scale 150–800 kilowatt emergency generator systems with integrated switchgear, automatic transfer switches, and docking stations rated for permanent installation at critical facilities. Water and electric utilities, corrections departments, county facilities management, and municipal fleet and water treatment operations form the dominant buyer segment, with scattered activity among transit authorities, convention centers, and special districts.

Geographic concentration spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and broader activity across Oregon, Texas, California, New Mexico, and Colorado. Eugene Water & Electric Board issued an ITB for deadfront padmounted switchgear (15 kV) with bids due July 28, 2026; the City of Cumming, Georgia solicited a turnkey generator and switchgear project for potable water production with proposals due August 7, 2026; Douglas County, Georgia requested proposals for a 100 kW diesel standby generator with FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding (due August 3, 2026); Eastern Municipal Water District (California) sought power distribution maintenance and repair services; and Collier County, Florida issued an ITB for UPS maintenance, repairs, replacement, and installation across county facilities with historical annual spend of approximately $150,000. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple solicitations for emergency generators, automatic transfer switches, and docking stations at correctional units throughout 2026. Activity is steady across municipal, utility, county, and water authority procurement channels, with most recent opportunities clustered in the second and third quarters of 2026.
