UNSPSC 46191514: Automatic closing device

A device that keeps a door or window open normally, but automatically closes the door in case of fire or emergency.

UNSPSC 46191514 Automatic closing device is a Commodity code describing hardware components that automatically shut or seal doors in response to fire or smoke detection signals—typically electromagnetic or pneumatic closers, door holders, and release mechanisms integrated into fire alarm or sprinkler system activation sequences. State and local governments procure these devices as part of broader fire protection installations, retrofits, and code compliance upgrades to existing facilities, though the recent opportunities block shows limited direct procurement activity focused solely on the devices themselves; instead, automatic closing devices appear as line-item components within larger fire alarm system replacements, fire sprinkler installations, and integrated fire protection system upgrades.

Recent state and local activity under this code shows scant standalone procurement of automatic closing devices as isolated commodities. The opportunities posted in late 2026 predominantly address complete fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, and building fire protection infrastructure rather than the closure hardware alone. Greenville County, South Carolina (RFP27024, due October 16, 2026) solicits an underground fire-service line, automatic fire sprinkler system, and fire alarm system for the Tigerville Fire Department—a multi-system integration in which automatic closing devices would likely be specified components but are not separately itemized. Collin County, Texas (IFB 2026-389, due November 19, 2026) requests replacement of sprinkler heads in the county jail; Dorchester County, South Carolina (RFQ, due September 25, 2026) seeks a complete fire alarm control system replacement at a Human Services Building; and Ontario International Airport Authority (IFB 2026-IFB086, due October 26, 2026) invites bids on campus-wide fire alarm system design, installation, and retrofit across 29 facilities. Issuing bodies span county governments, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities (airport, transit, and housing authorities), with activity concentrated in Texas, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, California, and other states nationwide. The code shows no recent standalone RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for automatic closing devices as primary deliverables, suggesting that procurement professionals tracking this commodity should monitor broader fire protection and life-safety system contracts where closing hardware is specified as a subcomponent rather than expect direct solicitations at the Commodity level.
