UNSPSC 46171605: Door chimes

UNSPSC 46171605 Door chimes, a Commodity code, does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The recent postings reflect repair, maintenance, inspection, and replacement of overhead doors, ADA automatic doors, apparatus bay doors, and door hardware across county facilities, municipal buildings, fire stations, and educational institutions—work that falls under door servicing and installation rather than door chimes or signaling devices. Issuing bodies include counties (Santa Clara, Henry, Forsyth, Sarasota), cities (St. Marys, Augusta, Arlington), a state agency (Illinois Department of Corrections), an educational institution (Mt. Hood Community College, University of Texas at Tyler), and a regional service cooperative (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties). The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin) and West (California, Oregon, Texas), with additional activity in Illinois and multi-state cooperative procurement.

Representative recent opportunities include Santa Clara County's ITB for as-needed door repair, maintenance, inspection, and replacement services across countywide locations with response due September 17, 2026; Henry County, Georgia's RFP for annual inspections, preventative maintenance, and repair services for overhead and ADA doors across 50 facilities, with proposals due September 15, 2026; and the City of Arlington, Texas's solicitation for an annual requirements contract for overhead door maintenance, repair, and emergency services with response due July 23, 2026. The City of Augusta, Georgia also posted an ITB for overhead door repair and maintenance (response September 3, 2026), and Forsyth County, Georgia solicited bids for replacement of four overhead apparatus bay doors at Fire Station #12 (response August 13, 2026). These opportunities emphasize time-and-materials or fixed-rate pricing, prevailing-wage compliance where applicable, insurance and bonding requirements, and multi-year contract structures with renewal options. The code's nominal scope—door chimes—does not match the actual procurement activity being classified under it.
