For an easy find, copper or specific alloys of copper for wiring any expansion.
Parts for 3D printers and auto factories. Specific computer parts or raw materials for printing new chips and boards. A key machine would be whatever makes the LEDs. They might also be after genetic material of any plants or animals that are tolerating the new post End conditions.

There may even be a whole shopping list of misc parts for the machinery that makes their goods.

Plastics are all made in house with home grown resources but metals would need to be salvaged. Bulk supplies of any of the elements that plants require.
