UNSPSC 46171522: Lock housing

UNSPSC 46171522 Lock housing, a Commodity code, covers the physical housing and mounting assemblies for locks and integrated lock systems that state and local governments procure to secure facilities, equipment, and vehicles. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing lock housings as components within broader locksmith supply, door hardware, and access-control system contracts rather than as standalone items—the code appears embedded in larger procurements for architectural hardware, master key systems, electronic access controls, and specialized locking solutions for detention facilities, mental health centers, and fleet asset management. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Corrections, Oregon Military Department), counties (Harris County, Volusia County, Marion County), municipalities (City of Philadelphia, City of Dallas, City of Phoenix, City of Salem), school districts (Pinellas County School District, Sarasota County School Board), and higher-education institutions (George Mason University, University of Wisconsin system). Repeat buyers include Texas agencies, Florida counties and school districts, and Wisconsin higher-education institutions.

Geographic concentration shows activity across Texas (San Antonio, Harris County, Lufkin), Florida (Pinellas County, Volusia County, Sarasota County, Marion County), Illinois, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington state, and California, with notable ongoing demand in Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017203 for locks and locksmith supplies at San Antonio State Hospital (due July 13, 2026), requesting padlocks, mortise locks, anti-ligature locks, and key blanks from manufacturers including Schlage and Best; the City of Phoenix's IFB for commercial locksmith products and services (due July 3, 2026), a five-year contract requiring Arizona-licensed contractors to supply hardware from Allegion, Sargent, and Schlage with 24/7 emergency response capability; Harris County, Texas's ITB for door lock replacement at juvenile detention facilities (due June 15, 2026), specifying ASSA Mogul Cylinders and comprehensive master key system compatibility; and the City of Dallas's three-year ID/IQ solicitation for door hardware and locksmith services (due April 17, 2026), which incorporates SBE participation goals and local economic impact scoring. Contract terms typically run one to five years with renewal options, and pricing structures range from firm fixed-price to cost-plus-markup arrangements with manufacturer discounts. Set-asides and local preferences appear selectively—Philadelphia applies 10 percent local bidding preference for certified Local Business Entities, Dallas implements SBE utilization points and local preference programs, and multiple jurisdictions require E-Verify and background screening for personnel.
