NIGP 65266: Razors and Keys, Security

NIGP 65266 Razors And Keys, Security is an Item code under which state and local governments procure physical and electronic security hardware for corrections facilities, detention centers, and educational institutions. Recent solicitations show activity spanning secure-door-and-lock replacement, electronic security system head-end equipment upgrades, and integrated access-control components. Orange County, Florida issued an IFB (solicitation Y26750) on June 24, 2026, for Corrections BRC Security Controls and Building E Secure Door & Lock Replacement Construction, a $7 million sealed-bid project with bids due July 21, 2026, via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. Collin County, Texas posted an IFB (2025340) for Construction Electronic Security System Upgrade at the Adult Detention Facility, a $3.3 million project requiring pre-qualified electronic systems integrators with minimum five years' detention-facility experience and bids originally due January 22, 2026. A third opportunity from Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas (RFP 011326894) posted March 21, 2026, requests cosmetology equipment and supplies on a catalog-discount basis due April 8, 2026, though this represents a narrower application within the code's scope. The issuing bodies are primarily county-level corrections and detention facilities alongside school districts; no state-agency solicitations appear in the recent activity.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with Orange County and Collin County driving the largest procurement volumes under this code in the current cycle. Geographic distribution shows Texas with two recent opportunities and Florida with one, suggesting activity is not yet nationwide but rather concentrated in the South and Southwest. The corrections-facility sector dominates the code's current market, with both the Orange County and Collin County bids explicitly targeting detention-center security infrastructure; school-district activity appears secondary. Collin County's detention-facility upgrade specifies mandatory pre-bid meetings and requires bidders to submit performance bonds at five percent of bid amount, with performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract price and maintenance bonds at 10 percent due within ten days of award. All recent bids mandate electronic submission through county-designated platforms (OpenGov or Bonfire) and prohibit hand delivery, mail, fax, or email submission.
