UNSPSC 46171618: Door bells

UNSPSC 46171618 Door bells is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses electronic access control hardware, door locking systems, and related locksmithing services far more than standalone doorbells. The code sees activity from school districts, counties, and higher-education institutions procuring modern cloud-based access control systems, electronic door locks with integration to mass notification and video surveillance, hardware installation and removal, technical training, and ongoing maintenance and repair of mechanical and electronic door hardware. Issuing bodies include K–12 school districts (Bellaire Public Schools in Michigan), county purchasing departments (Williamson County), and universities (Florida Atlantic University). The work spans new installations of twelve to seventy-five door access points with full-system integration, retrofits to legacy hardware, fire-code compliance and wall penetration remediation, on-site staff training, and standing vendor pools for as-needed locksmith and door-hardware service calls across multiple campuses or facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Florida. Bellaire Public Schools (Allegan County and Alger County, Michigan) issued two separate RFPs in March 2026 (RFPBLPS2600000013463 and RFPBLPS2600000013462, both due March 20, 2026) for electronic access control system installation at two school facilities, with mandatory pre-bid meetings on March 9, 2026, and federal prevailing wage compliance required under the Davis-Bacon Act. The same district posted a broader Integrated School Safety Project RFP (RFPBLPS2600000019411, due May 18, 2026) incorporating Verkada-based access control, video surveillance, interior and exterior door locks with panic buttons, and visitor management. Florida Atlantic University issued Invitations to Bid (2026ITB0002BL, due February 25, 2026) to establish a non-exclusive preapproved vendor pool for door hardware installation, repair, maintenance, and locksmith services across four campuses. Vendors pursuing these opportunities must hold advanced security system certifications (Verkada Certified Engineer credentials for the Bellaire integrations), demonstrate five years of commercial locksmith and door-hardware experience, respond to service calls within 24 business hours, and comply with prevailing wage and statutory affidavit requirements specific to Michigan procurement law.
