NIGP 68061: Lockers, Security

NIGP 68061 Lockers, Security, an Item code, covers metal locker systems and related hardware for evidence storage, secure facility operations, and athletic programs at corrections facilities, law enforcement precincts, and school districts. State and local governments are actively soliciting these systems as both standalone equipment procurements and as components within larger facility renovation and security infrastructure projects. The code encompasses pass-thru evidence lockers with keyless locking mechanisms, athletic locker installations in high-school facilities, and secure storage vaults integrated into vehicle up-fit packages for law enforcement. Issuing bodies include county corrections and police departments, school districts, and state law enforcement agencies. A mix of notice types appears across recent solicitations: Invitation for Bid (IFB), Informal Written Quote (IWQ), and sealed-bid construction procurement, with response deadlines typically two to four weeks from posting.

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentration in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas.
