UNSPSC 46171517: Keyhole signals

UNSPSC 46171517 Keyhole signals, a Commodity code, describes the provision of locks, locking hardware, and related components—including mechanical cylinders, electronic locks, padlocks, door hardware, hinges, exit devices, and keying systems—procured by state and local governments to support facility maintenance, access control, and security infrastructure. State and local buyers under this code span county governments, city procurement departments, state agencies (including departments of criminal justice, health and human services, and transportation), school districts, fire rescue services, and regional authorities. Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Texas, Florida, Illinois, and scattered metro areas across the country, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice appearing as repeat buyers issuing multiple regional lock-supply and lock-parts contracts.

Representative recent activity includes Bergen County, New Jersey (RFQ for security locks and locksmith services, October 28, 2026 response deadline); the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (RFQ for door locks, hardware, and accessories with brand-name specifications for tollway facilities throughout Illinois, October 27, 2026 deadline); Pinellas County School District, Florida (ITB for 46 line items of architectural hardware including locks, cylinders, key blanks, hinges, and door closers with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $1,000,000, March 16, 2026 deadline); the City of Pembroke Pines, Florida (Quick Quote for Schlage wireless electronic door locks, gateways, and panel interface modules for replacement inventory, estimated project cost $24,500, September 21, 2026 deadline); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing multiple IFBs for locks and lock parts to state-supported living centers and hospitals with contract values ranging from $30,000 to $75,000 and initial terms through August 31, 2027. Procurements also include the City of Phoenix (five-year IFB for commercial locksmith products and services starting September 1, 2027, with labor rates, hardware parts, and manufacturer-specific discounts); Harris County, Texas (ITB for door lock replacement and assessment services at juvenile detention facilities, June 15, 2026 deadline); and the City of Philadelphia (micro purchase for laptop security locks, June 2, 2026 deadline, and IB for Yale locks and closures, June 29, 2026 deadline, estimated expenditure $35,000.01). State set-asides and preferences appear in multiple Texas procurements requiring HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) subcontracting plans; Philadelphia applies a 10% local bidding preference for certified Local Business Entities on contracts of $1 million or less; and Illinois procurements mandate Standard Illinois Certifications with annual recertifications for multi-year terms.
