UNSPSC 55121508: Ladder tag

A type of tag used to display information about the safety of the ladder it is attached to.

UNSPSC 55121508 Ladder tag is a Commodity code for specialized identification tags, fasteners, and security access devices purchased by state and local governments to mark, secure, and manage assets, facilities, and restricted areas. The code sees activity across municipalities, counties, and special districts acquiring tags for asset inventory, inspection documentation, and fire-safety key-access systems. Recent solicitations show procurement of waterproof inspection record tags for utilities management, Knox Box compatible key-secure devices for fire-code compliance, bag tags and thermal boarding-pass stock for airport operations, and comprehensive locksmith hardware and key-blank services for municipal facilities. The issuing bodies represent a mix of city purchasing departments (Tampa, Dallas, Pasadena), county fire and airport authorities (Marion County Fire Rescue, Sacramento County Department of Airports), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing entities (Hillsborough County Government Purchasing Council, Sacramento County Procurement Alliance).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department issued two sequential ITBs in March and April 2026 for asset inspection tags (white for 2026, green for 2027, 4 by 6 inches, waterproof plastic construction) with an estimated contract value of $35,000, designated as a sheltered market for Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount available. Marion County Fire Rescue, Florida, posted a sole-source ITB on May 7, 2026, due May 14, 2026, for Key Secure Systems compatible with the County's existing Knox Box master key infrastructure serving over 300 commercial properties. The City of Dallas issued an ID/IQ master agreement RFP posted March 12, 2026, due April 17, 2026, for a three-year contract covering door hardware, key blanks, and locksmith services across all municipal departments, with SBE participation point scoring (up to 13 points) and local preference consideration. Sacramento County's Department of Airports issued an RFP for bag tags, thermal paper, and automated ticket and boarding-pass stock on behalf of the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance cooperative purchasing program, with the contract structured for an initial two-year term and three optional one-year extensions.
