UNSPSC 92121801: Armored car service

UNSPSC 92121801 Armored car service is a Commodity code that covers the secure pickup, transport, and deposit of cash, coins, checks, and other valuables from public-sector facilities to designated financial institutions. State and local governments procure this service across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies: city finance and procurement offices, county boards of commissioners, school districts, transit and special-purpose districts, and higher-education institutions. Work solicited under the code includes daily or scheduled cash collection from municipal facilities, library branches, schools, public utilities, police and parks departments, and administrative offices, with transport to banks for same-day or next-business-day deposit. Vendors must maintain state security licenses, firearms certifications, fidelity bonds typically ranging from $100,000 to $1 million, and commercial general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence minimum. Contracts typically run three to six years with one to four optional renewal periods at firm pricing for the initial term, with rate increases during renewals capped at annual CPI or requiring mutual written agreement with advance notice.
