UNSPSC 46171619: Security or access control systems

UNSPSC 46171619 Security or access control systems is a Commodity code encompassing the hardware, installation, integration, and maintenance of electronic access control systems, video surveillance integration, badge and credentialing infrastructure, and related security technology deployed across state and local government facilities. State and local governments procure under this code to control physical ingress and egress, verify user identity, audit facility access patterns, integrate surveillance with access events, and meet regulatory compliance mandates such as 49 CFR Part 1542 (airport security) and detention facility standards. The work typically involves system design, component procurement, on-site installation and configuration, network integration, staff training, and multi-year maintenance contracts.

Recent opportunities span a diverse mix of issuing bodies: county governments (Orange County Florida, Clackamas County Oregon, Jackson County Georgia, Seminole County Florida, Pinellas County Florida, Hillsborough County Florida), city procurement offices (Dallas, Wheat Ridge Colorado, Orlando, Palo Alto, Salem Oregon, Bowling Green Kentucky, Charlotte North Carolina), independent school districts (Brandon School District Michigan, Watervliet Public Schools Michigan, Clarkston Community Schools Michigan, Katy ISD Texas, DeSoto County Schools Mississippi, Scottsdale USD Arizona), state agencies (California Department of General Services, California Department of Transportation, Texas A&M University at Galveston, Texas Tech University, State of Texas Department of Information Resources), transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System, Pinellas County Airport), and special-purpose districts (Atlanta BeltLine, Maryland Stadium Authority). Recent solicitations include Orange County Florida's $7 million Corrections BRC Security Controls and Building E Secure Door & Lock Replacement (sealed bids, July 21, 2026); City of Wheat Ridge Colorado's electronic access control system replacement managing 92 door readers and 400+ users (RFP, April 23, 2026); San Diego State University's video security systems assessment across four campuses (RFP, July 31, 2026); and Seminole County Florida's master services agreement for access control repair and maintenance across 70 county facilities (RFP, May 6, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in California (state departments, transit authorities, school districts), Florida (county and city governments, airports), Texas (state agencies, school districts, universities), Georgia (county governments, Atlanta BeltLine), Oregon (state and county facilities), Michigan (school districts), Colorado, and Maryland. The code shows sustained procurement across facility hardening (doors, locks, panic hardware), detention and corrections (jails, juvenile facilities), transportation hubs (airports, transit stations), education (K-12 schools, universities), and state office complexes, with contract values ranging from $51,000 (Sacramento County DMV warehouse) to $7 million (Orange County corrections facility) and terms typically spanning 3 to 5 years with optional renewals. Mandatory qualifications frequently require manufacturer certifications (Genetec, Lenel S2, AMAG, Avigilon, Software House, Axis, HID), low-voltage contractor licenses (C-7 or equivalent), and prior detention or enterprise-scale integration experience; prevailing wage compliance, E-Verify enrollment, and set-asides for DVBE, HUB, SBE, and MBE participation appear in roughly half of recent solicitations.
