UNSPSC 24141504: Tamper proof or security seals

UNSPSC 24141504 Tamper proof or security seals (Commodity) encompasses sequentially numbered, barcoded security seals and tamper-evident labels used to secure ballot boxes, inmate housing units, evidence containers, and aquatic-monitoring equipment in state and local government operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing pull-tight seals, padlock seals, cable seals, wire spools with integrated locking mechanisms, and numbered plastic seals in multiple colors compliant with ISO 17712:2013 mechanical seal standards. Issuing bodies include county registrar-of-voters offices, county corrections departments, state wildlife and natural-resources divisions, and county purchasing departments acting on behalf of jail facilities. The work ranges from standing-purchase agreements for high-volume seal supply to specialized construction projects incorporating security-seal replacement as part of broader facility hardening.

Activity concentrates in Texas, California, Florida, Utah, Maine, and Minnesota through both direct county and state procurement and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include Orange County, California Registrar of Voters soliciting election security seals, padlock seals, cable seals, and tamper-evident labels (RFP 0313085102JM, bids due August 6, 2026) with local small business and disabled veteran enterprise preferences; State of Utah Division of Purchasing requesting plastic Styrene seals and wire spools for its Aquatic Invasive Species Program (IFB BD27-118, bids due October 14, 2026); State of Maine Department of Marine Resources seeking approximately five million lobster seals and tags annually with sequential numbering and saltwater durability (RFP 202602028, proposals due June 30, 2026); Collin County, Texas replacing institutional sprinkler heads in jail cells under IFB 2026-389 (bids due November 19, 2026 at $150,000); and Sourcewell cooperative issuing RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental entities across the United States and Canada (proposals due June 16, 2026). Cooperative purchasing language permitting other states, counties, and municipalities to "piggyback" contracts is increasingly common, with Orange County, California and other issuers structuring awards to support regional and national procurement networks.
