NIGP 15018: Door Bells, Chimes and Hardware

NIGP 15018 Door Bells, Chimes And Hardware, an Item code, covers door hardware components and access control devices that state and local governments procure for campus, facility, and institutional maintenance. Recent solicitations show that purchasing under this code spans keyed cylinders and spare cylinders for facilities management, wireless doorbells embedded in miscellaneous parts orders, and integrated door locking systems with visual status indicators and panic button integration for school security projects. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, community colleges, and school districts. The scope reflects both routine maintenance purchasing (replacement cylinders, spare parts) and capital-grade security infrastructure (access control panels, wireless locks with emergency features, and installation services). Work ranges from as-needed component resourcing to turnkey integrated security modernization tied to facility or campus safety standards.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017729 in September 2026 for miscellaneous campus parts supplies including wireless doorbells, with bids due September 14, 2026, and a historical spend guideline of $100,000 over twelve months. Mt. Hood Community College (Oregon) issued an RFP for door hardware—specifically Schlage keyed cylinders and spare cylinders—with proposals due August 7, 2026, under a 24-month contract weighted 30 percent on price, 40 percent on experience, and 30 percent on availability. Bellaire Public Schools in Michigan conducted a sealed-bid procurement (RFPBLPS2600000019411, due May 18, 2026) for an integrated school safety project including interior door locking devices with visual status indicators and panic button integration for approximately 75 classrooms, exterior door monitoring systems, and access control panels requiring Verkada certification and local project management within 200 miles of the school. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, and Michigan, with community colleges and school districts representing the primary institutional buyers alongside state-level health and human services purchasing.
