UNSPSC 46171520: Electric lock

UNSPSC 46171520 Electric lock, a Commodity code, covers the supply of electric locks and electronic locking hardware—including wireless electronic locks, electromagnetic strikes, panel interface modules, and related control components—that state and local governments procure for facility access control, security system replacements, and inventory replenishment across multiple building types and jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show governments buying brand-specific electronic locks (Schlage wireless systems, Von Duprin exit devices, ASSA Mogul cylinders) alongside traditional mechanical and interchangeable-core locks as part of broader door-hardware and locksmith-services packages, indicating that electric locks remain a segment of larger architectural hardware and facilities-management procurements rather than standalone electrical-system work. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Harris County, Pinellas County, Volusia County, Marion County, Bergen County), cities (Phoenix, Philadelphia, Pembroke Pines, Bartow), transit authorities (Illinois State Toll Highway Authority), school districts (Pinellas County Schools), and special-purpose fire and mental-health districts. State departments and health institutions procure locks and locksmith services most frequently across the recent opportunity block, often as blanket or as-needed standing orders supporting multiple facilities or regions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted at least five separate IFBs since early August 2026 for locks and lock supplies serving state-supported living centers and state hospitals, with estimated values ranging from $30,000 to $75,000 per facility per year and firm-fixed pricing on fourteen-day delivery timelines. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 26FMD0304 for five-year commercial locksmith products and services covering hardware, parts, installation, and 24/7 emergency response (proposals due July 3, 2026); Harris County, Texas posted ITB 26-0121 for door-lock replacement and system assessments at juvenile detention facilities (bids due June 15, 2026); Pinellas County Schools issued ITB 26-AM-004 for architectural hardware including locks and cylinders from manufacturers such as Schlage, Von Duprin, and Adams-Rite (responses due March 16, 2026—a date that has passed); and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority solicited door locks and hardware under RFQ 26-1335R with brand-name-only specifications and a three-year term (responses due October 27, 2026). Bergen County, New Jersey is seeking security locks, hardware, and locksmith services with a 24-month initial term plus a 12-month renewal option (proposals due October 28, 2026). The District of Columbia Department of Transportation posted two separate solicitations for fleet capital asset management key systems serving eight locations. Electric locks appear in narrower specifications within these broader hardware procurements; the City of Pembroke Pines, Florida paid $24,500 for Schlage wireless electronic locks and gateways as replacement inventory (deadline passed September 21, 2026), signaling small to mid-size per-order values when electronic components are the focus. Competitive response is expected given the mix of brand-name-only and "or equal" specifications; vendors must demonstrate manufacturer authorization or approved equivalency to compete. HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) subcontracting plans are encouraged but not required in most Texas procurements, and local-vendor preferences apply in some jurisdictions (Philadelphia 10%, Bartow local/WBE preference). Payment terms typically run net 30 to net 45 days on F.O.B. Destination basis with freight prepaid; contract terms range from one to five years with optional renewals subject to appropriations and performance satisfaction.
