The code captures keyed cylinders, spare cylinders, key blanks, and hinge bearing assemblies used in building access control and revenue equipment applications.

Work is typically solicited through IFB or RFQ notices with response periods of days to weeks and contract terms ranging from 12 to 24 months, often with renewal options. Pricing is generally evaluated alongside experience, availability, and warranty provisions, with awards made on best-value or lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder criteria.
