NIGP 15094: Windows, Frames, and Sashes, Steel

NIGP 15094 Windows, Frames, and Sashes, Steel is an Item code covering the procurement of steel window assemblies and replacement systems by state and local governments. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for window replacement across municipal, county, and utility facilities, ranging from individual-building projects to multi-property programs. Work being solicited includes furnishing and installation of new window systems (aluminum storefront, commercial-grade aluminum, wood, and clad-wood double-hung units), demolition and disposal of existing windows, site preparation, weatherproofing, and finishing work such as gypsum board patching and repainting. Many projects impose compliance with historic preservation standards, energy codes, and lead-safe work practices. Issuing bodies include county commissions, municipal housing and administrative departments, utility authorities, and other local agencies. Contractors typically must demonstrate three to five years of relevant experience, maintain commercial general liability insurance ranging from $1 million to $2 million, and submit detailed project references and methodologies.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with documented opportunities in Georgia, Florida, and Arizona during May and June 2026. The Pulaski County Commission (Georgia) issued an RFP for replacement of 66 windows in a historic courthouse with compliance to National Historic Preservation Act standards and a six-to-eight-month completion window, due June 19, 2026. Orange County, Florida issued a sealed IFB (Y26-743) for the Fredrick Douglas Building window replacement project, estimated at $319,428.00, with bids due June 9, 2026 and night-shift construction requirements.
