UNSPSC 31162801: Handles or knobs

UNSPSC 31162801 Handles or knobs, a Commodity code, covers door hardware components that state and local governments procure on as-needed and contract bases, including keyed cylinders, spare cylinders, key blanks, and related hinge and locking equipment. Recent solicitations show procurement offices and facilities departments using this code for recurring door hardware supply contracts and emergency repairs. Issuing bodies include community colleges, municipalities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities. The scope diverges slightly across opportunities: Mt. Hood Community College Facilities Department sought factory-keyed Schlage cylinders and blanks under a two-year supply contract with renewal options, while the City of Philadelphia tagged a one-time revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild under the same code. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement on behalf of participating counties in Washington and entities nationwide used this code to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution, though the specific hardware components within that broader procurement are not detailed in the source material.

Geographic activity centers on the Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlantic regions based on recent postings. Mt. Hood Community College (Oregon) posted a request for proposals with mandatory pre-bid attendance on July 29, 2026 and responses due August 7, 2026, covering as-needed keyed cylinders and spare key blanks at estimated quantities from 1 to 1,200 units over a 24-month period with renewal options, evaluated at 30 percent price, 40 percent experience, and 30 percent availability and hours of operation. The City of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) issued a micro-purchase IFB for revenue vault hinge bearing rebuild due June 5, 2026, with contract value not exceeding $43,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U, awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and requiring $500,000 general liability insurance. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued an RFP due June 16, 2026 to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment serving participating counties in Washington and public entities across the United States and Canada, with submissions required exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.
