UNSPSC 46171501: Padlocks

UNSPSC 46171501 Padlocks, a Commodity code, covers the supply of locking devices—primarily metal padlocks in various configurations—that state and local governments procure for facility access control, equipment security, and operational safeguarding. Recent solicitations show padlocks embedded in broader hardware and locksmith service contracts alongside mortise locks, cylinders, exit devices, and related access-control components, revealing that the code operates within a larger ecosystem of door hardware and key management rather than as a standalone product line. State and local buyers range across city public works departments (Salem, Oregon), county solid waste and juvenile detention facilities (Harris County, Texas; Pinellas County, Florida), school districts (Pinellas County Schools), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois DMH), and higher-education institutions (George Mason University). Repeat buyers include Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which has issued multiple IFBs for locks and locksmith supplies covering padlocks among other hardware types, and Pinellas County (school district and solid waste department), signaling ongoing facility maintenance and security refresh cycles.

Recent padlock activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Oregon, and Illinois, with scattered activity in the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and other states. Representative opportunities include the City of Salem's sealed bid for approximately 585 Master-brand padlocks across eleven line items (Bid 267035, due May 20, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for locks and locksmith supplies at San Antonio State Hospital and Living Center, which explicitly names padlocks, cabinet locks, and anti-ligature locks among eighteen line items with firm fixed-price unit costs (HHS0017203, due July 13, 2026); the Pinellas County Solid Waste Department's request for locksmith services to replace 174 door locks with a single system across fifteen buildings (ITB 26-0607, due June 25, 2026); and the City of Philadelphia's standing supply contract for Yale locks and padlocks with a cost-plus-markup pricing model and estimated annual value of $35,000.01 (B2627139, due June 29, 2026). Padlock procurement appears as both standalone commodity buys under short deadlines and as line items within comprehensive multi-lock RFPs and IFBs, with contract terms typically running one to three years and volumes ranging from dozens to hundreds of units per jurisdiction.
