UNSPSC 46171516: Door guards

UNSPSC 46171516 Door guards, a Commodity code, names a product category that state and local procurement offices are not actively buying under this code's nominal scope. The recent solicitations tagged to 46171516 overwhelmingly solicit door repair, maintenance, inspection, and replacement services—labor-intensive, recurring facility services—rather than door guard hardware or protective devices. Santa Clara County's as-needed door repair and maintenance ITB, Henry County Georgia's overhead and ADA door inspections and preventative maintenance RFP, and Arlington Texas's annual overhead door maintenance and repair contract exemplify the actual work being procured: technician labor, spare parts, emergency call-out capacity, and facility-wide service delivery across multiple locations. A small number of records do touch door hardware or renovation (Mt. Hood Community College's keyed cylinders and spare keys procurement, University of Texas at Tyler's Cowan Center lobby renovation with $15,000 in door hardware allowance, and Portage County Wisconsin's aluminum entrances and storefronts trade package), but these are outliers within a large dataset of recurring door-service contracts. The issuing bodies span county facilities departments, municipal engineering and environmental services, public housing authorities, school district facilities operations, and state agencies including the Illinois Department of Corrections, reflecting the baseline demand for door maintenance across general government real estate.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Henry County, Forsyth County, City of Augusta), with additional recent solicitations from California (Santa Clara County), Texas (City of Arlington), Connecticut (Housing Authority of the City of Hartford), Wisconsin (Portage County), and scattered single-jurisdiction postings elsewhere. Most contracts are structured as annual requirements or multi-year renewable agreements with unit or time-and-materials pricing, prevailing-wage compliance where applicable, bonding and insurance requirements at standard municipal thresholds, and local-vendor preferences or set-aside opportunities where the jurisdiction's enabling statute allows. The code shows measurable recent activity—nine solicitations posted between May and September 2026—but the material mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests the taxonomy assignment may reflect a data-entry or classification artifact rather than deliberate category usage.
