UNSPSC 46171505: Keys

UNSPSC 46171505 Keys is a Commodity code that covers physical key blanks, keyway cores, and key systems supplied to state and local government agencies for facility access control, lock maintenance, and asset management. The scope spans individual key blanks and specialized keyway products (including Best E cores, Willow cores, and proprietary systems such as MEDECO and Knox Box–compatible keys) to fleet-level key management systems that organize and track keys across multiple locations. Issuing bodies procuring under this code include state departments (Illinois Department of Mental Health, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Military Department), county governments (Marion County, Pinellas County, Volusia County), cities (Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix, Salem), school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Sarasota County Schools), and transit or specialized authorities (George Mason University). The code sees activity across a mix of small purchase orders for routine replacement stock and larger system procurements supporting institutional infrastructure.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Harris County, and the State of Texas TDCJ have posted multiple opportunities for locks and key products serving state hospitals and detention facilities. Illinois Department of Business and Human Resources and Illinois Department of Corrections have conducted small purchases for keyway cores and combination locks. Florida jurisdictions—including Marion County Fire Rescue, Pinellas County Schools, Sarasota County Schools, and the City of Tampa—represent significant recent volume. The District of Columbia Department of Transportation posted two solicitations (DCKA2026B0089 on May 8 and DCKA2026B0131 on July 9, 2026) for fleet capital asset management key systems with installation and maintenance, due June 18 and July 15, 2026 respectively. The City of Dallas issued a three-year ID/IQ solicitation for door hardware and key blanks (BF2600030106, due April 17, 2026). The City of Phoenix issued a five-year IFB for commercial locksmith products and services (IFB26FMD0304, due July 3, 2026). George Mason University procured security products including locks and keys in an RFP (RFPGMUGL033026, due May 8, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington state counties (due June 16, 2026). Activity remains steady across Commodity-level lock and key procurement, driven by facility maintenance cycles, detention facility requirements, and institutional access-control refreshes.
