UNSPSC 46171500: Locks and security hardware and accessories

UNSPSC 46171500 Locks and security hardware and accessories is a Class code under which state and local governments procure mechanical and electronic locks, lock components, door hardware, and related accessories for facility access control, security, and emergency response across buildings and grounds. Recent solicitations span replacement locks at school facilities, locks and cylindrical components for state correctional and health-care institutions, keying systems for state toll authorities, and locksmith labor services for municipal facilities, signaling steady demand for both commodity supply and skilled installation and maintenance work.

Issuing bodies include school districts, state agencies (corrections, health and human services), county sheriffs and fire rescue departments, cities, and transit authorities across Florida, Texas, Illinois, North Carolina, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Utah, and other jurisdictions. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice account for multiple recent solicitations. Geographic activity is distributed nationwide, with notable concentration in Texas (multiple institutional lock and parts procurements), Florida (school district architectural hardware, municipal lock replacement and locksmith services), Illinois (state toll authority and mental health center keyway cores), and Orange County California (detention lock maintenance). Representative recent opportunities include Bergen County, New Jersey's October 2026 RFQ for security locks, hardware, and locksmith services (BCBID2641, due October 28, 2026); the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority's October 2026 RFQ for door locks and hardware with brand-name specifications from Best, Schlage, Von Duprin, and other manufacturers (26557THAPROCUB54401, due October 27, 2026); the City of Phoenix's May 2026 IFB for commercial locksmith products and services including labor and emergency response across five-year terms (IFB26FMD0304, due July 3, 2026); Harris County's June 2026 ITB for door lock replacement and assessment at juvenile detention facilities with ASSA Mogul cylinder specifications (ITB 26-0121, due June 15, 2026); and the City of Bartow, Florida's August 2026 ITB for comprehensive locksmith services with 24-hour and one-hour response requirements (ITB 26-27, due August 19, 2026). Institutional procurements commonly specify SFIC (Small Format Interchangeable Core) systems, master key hierarchies, and anti-ligature or electronic locking features; municipal contracts emphasize 24/7 emergency response and local contractor availability. Set-aside programs including HUB certifications (Texas), DBE requirements (select municipalities), and local-vendor preferences (Florida, Illinois) appear in select solicitations.
