UNSPSC 46171508: Number locks

UNSPSC 46171508 Number locks, a Commodity code, covers the supply and installation of mechanical number locks, combination locks, padlocks, and related keying systems that state and local governments procure for facility access control, asset management, and security operations across departments and institutions. The recent solicitation activity spans a mix of issuing bodies—state departments, county governments, municipalities, school districts, fire and emergency services, mental health facilities, corrections departments, and higher education institutions—all seeking locks ranging from standard padlocks and door hardware to specialized anti-ligature locks for psychiatric facilities and RFID-enabled access systems. The kinds of work being solicited include routine supply of commercial-grade locks and cylinders, locksmith installation and maintenance services, replacement of door locks across multiple buildings, and specialized keying systems integrated with existing master-key infrastructure; representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting locks and locksmith supplies for San Antonio State Hospital (IFB HHS0017203, response due July 13, 2026), Pinellas County Solid Waste Department seeking replacement of 174 door locks across 15 facilities (ITQ 260607, response due June 25, 2026), the City of Phoenix Public Works Department issuing an IFB for comprehensive commercial locksmith products and services with a five-year term (IFB26FMD0304, response due July 3, 2026), and Harris County requesting door lock replacement at juvenile detention facilities (ITB 26-0121, response due June 15, 2026).

Geographic activity is distributed across multiple states and regions, with concentrated recent solicitation volume in Florida (Pinellas County School District, Volusia County, Marion County Fire Rescue, Sarasota County School Board, City of Tampa), Texas (HHSC, Harris County, City of Dallas), Illinois (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), and broader multi-state participation through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP (RFP #061626, response due June 16, 2026) and George Mason University's security products RFP serving Virginia (RFP GMU-GL0330-26, response due May 8, 2026). Additional opportunities posted in Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Utah, and the District of Columbia demonstrate nationwide demand. The code shows active procurement momentum with multiple issuers posting IFBs, RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs across the May-to-July 2026 window; evaluation criteria typically emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder, product quality and manufacturer reputation, service response capability, and compliance with local preferences or set-aside programs where applicable (such as Philadelphia's 10 percent local business entity preference and Dallas's SBE and local workforce participation scoring).
