UNSPSC 46171501: Padlocks

UNSPSC 46171501 Padlocks, a Commodity code, covers the supply of physical locking hardware—padlocks, door locks, cylinders, keys, and related components—that state and local governments procure as replacement inventory, facility maintenance items, and access-control consumables. Recent solicitations show governments buying padlocks and comprehensive lock systems for detention facilities, toll highways, school districts, county facilities, mental health centers, and fire rescue operations, often bundled with keying services, installation labor, and emergency locksmith response.

State departments dominate this code's activity, particularly Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, alongside county governments (Bergen County, Harris County, Volusia County, Pinellas County), cities (Phoenix, Philadelphia, Bartow, Pembroke Pines), and independent school districts (Pinellas County Schools). Recent opportunities span Texas (HHSC and TDCJ multiple regional procurements), Florida (school districts, counties, cities), Illinois (ISTHA, state mental health centers), and a handful of others including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent work includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting locks and lock parts for state supported living centers and hospitals under IFB HHS0017828 (due September 10, 2026, estimated value up to $75,000) and IFB HHS0017823 (due August 14, 2026, not-to-exceed $50,000); the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority soliciting door locks, hardware, and accessories under RFQ 26-1335R (due October 27, 2026) with brand-specific approvals including Schlage, Von Duprin, and others; Pinellas County Schools issuing ITB 26-AM-004 for architectural hardware including padlocks and cylinders from manufacturers such as Adams-Rite and Schlage (due March 16, 2026, estimated annual value approximately $1 million); and Harris County, Texas requesting door lock replacement services and assessments at juvenile detention facilities under ITB 26-0121 (due June 15, 2026) for approximately 150 ASSA Mogul Cylinder replacements plus facility audits. Locksmith labor, installation services, emergency response, and keying are frequently bundled with hardware in the same solicitation.
