UNSPSC 46171505: Keys

UNSPSC 46171505 Keys, a Commodity code, spans the supply of physical keys, key blanks, key systems, and key-related components that state and local governments procure to support lock maintenance, facility access control, and security operations. Recent solicitations show government buyers acquiring individual keys, master key systems, keyway cores, interchangeable core components, and key management infrastructure—from simple bulk key blanks for schools and detention facilities to specialized secure key systems for fire-safety coordination with Knox Boxes. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county and city governments (Bergen County New Jersey, Volusia County Florida, City of Philadelphia, Harris County Texas, Pinellas County Florida), school districts (San Antonio Independent School District, Pinellas County School District), special districts (Illinois State Toll Highway Authority), and regional authorities (District of Columbia Department of Transportation). No single repeat buyer dominates, though Texas state agencies—HHS Commission, TDCJ, and DOC—account for a significant share of recent activity, often procuring locks, hardware, and keys as integrated bundles under separate line items or combined solicitations.

Recent opportunities span multiple geographies with notable concentration in Texas (HHS Commission facilities, TDCJ regions, Harris County juvenile detention system), Florida (Pinellas County schools, City of Pembroke Pines, Volusia County, Marion County Fire Rescue), Illinois (State Toll Highway Authority, Department of Corrections, Department of Human Resources), and the District of Columbia. Representative recent solicitations include Bergen County New Jersey issuing RFB BCBID2641 for security locks, hardware, and locksmith services due October 28, 2026; the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority issuing RFQ 26-1335R for door locks, hardware, and accessories with brand-name specifications (Schlage, Von Duprin, Sargent, and others) and responses due October 27, 2026; Pinellas County School District issuing ITB 26-AM-004 for architectural hardware including locks, cylinders, and key blanks from specified manufacturers with an estimated annual value of $1,000,000 and bids originally due March 16, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing multiple IFBs for locks and parts (HHS0017828, HHS0017874, HHS0017818, HHS0017823, HHS0017611) for state-supported living centers and hospitals, with estimated values ranging from $30,000 to $75,000 and response deadlines in August and September 2026. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 26FMD0304 for Commercial Locksmith Products and Services covering hardware, parts, installation, and emergency response across city facilities, with a five-year term commencing September 1, 2027, and sealed bids due July 3, 2026. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Texas HHS procurements encourage but do not mandate HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Subcontracting Plans; Philadelphia applies a 10 percent local bidding preference for certified Local Business Entities; and Illinois requires Standard Illinois Certifications with annual recertification. Pricing is typically firm and fixed on an F.O.B. Destination basis with freight prepaid; delivery expectations generally range from 14 days to 30–45 days depending on item availability and facility location.
