UNSPSC 55121513: Lockout tag

A type of tag used to portray hazardous warning information to a person. Usually employed in industrial plants or other facilities where they are affixed to equipment or system controls.

UNSPSC 55121513 Lockout tag (Commodity) shows mixed issuing-body and scope activity, with recent state and local solicitations that do not align tightly to the code's nominal taxonomy entry. The most directly relevant recent opportunity is the City of Tampa Water Department's solicitation for Asset Inspection Tags (two variants: 2,000 white tags for 2026 and 20,000 green tags for 2027), a re-bid posted April 13, 2026, with response due May 4, 2026, classified as a sheltered Small Local Business Enterprise opportunity with an estimated contract value of $35,000. A parallel earlier Tampa ITB (posted March 24, 2026, due April 17, 2026) sought the same inspection tags under identical specifications. The City of Dallas posted a three-year ID/IQ master agreement for door hardware, key blanks, and locksmith services (BID No. BF2600030106, due April 17, 2026) that includes key blanks and locksmith work across municipal departments. Marion County Fire Rescue in Florida issued a sole-source procurement for Key Secure Systems compatible with the County's existing Knox Box master key infrastructure, supporting over 300 commercial properties (posted May 7, 2026, due May 14, 2026). A fourth opportunity—the City of Pasadena's RFP for development and operations of public land in Hahamongna Watershed Park—is unrelated to lockout tags or inspection tags and does not align to the code's scope.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas, with Tampa and Marion County representing repeat or recent lockout-tag and inspection-tag procurement, while Dallas shows periodic demand for key blanks and locksmith services. The mix of issuing bodies spans city purchasing departments, county fire rescue, and municipal water utilities. The code shows episodic activity rather than consistent high-volume procurement; the Tampa inspection-tag opportunities suggest recurring but modest demand (estimated value $35,000 per award cycle), and the Dallas locksmith-services contract operates as an as-needed ID/IQ vehicle without guaranteed minimums. Bidders pursuing this code should monitor Florida municipal procurement portals and Dallas citywide master agreements for steady-state opportunities, while recognizing that lockout-tag volume and pricing remain constrained relative to broader door hardware and security services categories.
