NIGP 68058: Gun Locks, All Types

NIGP 68058 Gun Locks, All Types is an Item code covering firearm safety and storage devices procured by state and local law enforcement, corrections, and public-safety agencies. State and local governments buy keyed cable gun locks, lockable gun cases with integrated locking mechanisms, and related physical security controls under this code. Recent opportunities show purchases spanning both individual units for community violence-prevention programs and large-scale facility security retrofits involving secure-door and lock-replacement work at corrections facilities. Issuing bodies include city police departments, county corrections bureaus, state purchasing agencies, and municipal offices of violence prevention. The mix reflects demand from both law enforcement procurement and specialized public-safety programs focused on firearm injury reduction.
