NIGP 57032: Key Stock, All Sizes

NIGP 57032 Key Stock, All Sizes (Item) encompasses lock and key parts, hardware, key blanks, and related locksmith services that state and local governments procure for facility access control and maintenance. Recent solicitations show counties and cities buying commoditized key and lock components—blanks, cylinders, and hardware from manufacturers including BEST, CORBIN, LCN, NORTON, SECO-LARM, VON DUPRIN, and YALE—as well as professional locksmith labor for installation, repair, maintenance, and emergency response. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Sarasota County) and city procurement bureaus (Dallas) establishing both transactional quotes for routine parts consumption and longer-term master agreements for comprehensive locksmith services and hardware supply. The solicitations reflect two distinct procurement strategies: commodity-based purchasing with fixed unit pricing and discount structures for high-velocity, predictable consumption, and service-based contracts bundling parts with professional labor where emergency response and specialized expertise drive value.

Sarasota County posted an Invitation for Quotes (IFQ) on June 22, 2026, seeking lock and key parts and accessories with quotes due the same day, establishing a one-year term with dual pricing (Fee Schedule for commonly ordered items and list-plus-discount for others), FOB Destination delivery, and 24-hour order acknowledgment required. The City of Dallas issued an ITB on March 12, 2026, closing April 17, 2026, for a three-year ID/IQ master agreement covering door hardware, key blanks, and locksmith services citywide; the Dallas solicitation emphasizes SBE utilization (up to 13 evaluation points), local preference (5 percent for contracts under $500,000), registered locksmith credentials, 24/7 availability with two-hour emergency response, and a $23.06 per hour wage floor for contracts exceeding $50,000. Activity spans Florida and Texas jurisdictions, with both opportunities reflecting municipal and county reliance on standing vendor relationships for continuous parts availability and on-call service capacity.
