UNSPSC 55121502: Security tags

UNSPSC 55121502 Security tags is a Commodity code that encompasses tamper-evident and asset-tracking tags used across state and local operations, including inspection record tags deployed by utilities, Knox Box security systems serving fire departments, and key management infrastructure. The recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing physical inspection tags for asset marking (particularly water departments), specialized key secure systems integrated with fire safety infrastructure, and security hardware and locksmith services tied to facility access control. Issuing bodies span city departments (Dallas, Tampa, Pasadena), county fire rescue operations (Marion County, Florida), county detention facilities (Tuolumne County, California), and county airports (Sacramento County), with procurement vehicles ranging from open competitive bids to sole-source procurements for proprietary systems and cooperative purchasing agreements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California. The City of Tampa Water Department has posted two separate ITB notices for asset inspection tags (white tags for 2026 and green tags for 2027, estimated at $35,000 total contract value), with the initial posting on March 24, 2026 (due April 17, 2026) followed by a re-bid on April 13, 2026 (due May 4, 2026); both solicitations are designated as sheltered market for Small Local Business Enterprises. Marion County Fire Rescue (Florida) issued a sole-source procurement notice (May 7, 2026, due May 14, 2026) for Key Secure Systems compatible with its existing Knox Box master key infrastructure serving over 300 commercial properties. Tuolumne County (California) solicited service and maintenance contracts for electronic security systems at two detention facilities (RFP posted April 21, 2026, due August 5, 2022). The City of Dallas posted a three-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity master agreement for door hardware, key blanks, and locksmith services (posted March 12, 2026, due April 17, 2026), with SBE utilization points and local preference eligibility available for responsive bidders. Opportunities also appear under cooperative purchasing vehicles, as Sacramento County issued an RFP for bag tags and thermal paper through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA).
