UNSPSC 55121808: Identification badge clip

Device used to secure ID badges and cards

UNSPSC 55121808 Identification badge clip is a Commodity code capturing small uniform and accessory components that state and local governments procure primarily for law enforcement, public safety, and school district operations. The recent solicitations reveal that this code encompasses not only badge clips but a broader family of uniform fasteners, insignia buttons, toggles, washers, and related identification and recognition items used by police departments, fire services, and school districts. The issuing bodies span city police and fire departments, county school districts, and municipal purchasing offices across multiple states, with Dallas police and school districts appearing as repeat buyers within the recent opportunity set.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and Michigan, with the Dallas Police Department conducting multiple informal solicitations for buttons, toggles, and washers (posted April 1, April 9, and April 20, 2026, with response deadlines between April 7 and April 27). Cherokee County School District in Georgia has posted two RFPs for integrated employee badge management solutions (March 13 and June 11, 2026, responses due March 26 and July 9 respectively), both encompassing credential production, system compatibility verification, and badge delivery. The Sarasota County School Board issued Invitation to Bid #26-0158 on February 12, 2026 (due March 10) for safety and security systems including consumable products such as ID badge clips with tiered quantity pricing and hourly labor rates for installation and maintenance across 52 school locations. The City of Detroit issued a sole source procurement for 2,800 customized commendation ribbons for the Detroit Police Department (posted March 6, 2026, due March 16, valued at $8,500), and the City of Philadelphia conducted micro purchase solicitations for public safety challenge coins and service pins (posted May 18, 2026, due May 29). Activity remains modest but steady, with opportunities clustered primarily among municipal police and fire departments and school district procurement offices.
