NIGP 44010: Crystal Glass

NIGP 44010 Crystal Glass, an Item code, covers the furnishing and installation of window glass and related materials for state and local government facilities across commercial, industrial, and residential properties. State and local procurement under this code centers on supply and labor for diverse glass types — single and double strength, obscure, plate, safety, tempered, thermal pane, and plexiglass — along with aluminum framing, screens, and miscellaneous glazing-related materials. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal departments responsible for capital maintenance and housing rehabilitation, as well as facilities and general services divisions managing multi-asset portfolios. Work often requires local contractor presence, maintenance facilities or third-party service agreements, and capacity to field multiple journeyman glazers for complex installations including high-rise scaffolding work.

The City of Tucson posted RFP No. 226043 in August 2026 seeking multiple contractors under an annual requirements contract for furnishing and installation of window glass and related materials serving the Environmental and General Services Department and Housing and Community Development Department across the Tucson metropolitan area. The contract includes a one-year initial term with potential four-year extensions, incorporates HUD funding and Section 3 compliance requirements with labor-hour benchmarks (25% for Section 3 Workers, 5% for Targeted Section 3 Workers), and mandates prevailing wage compliance with hourly rates ranging from $14.32 to $20.98 depending on classification. Recent activity remains limited; this represents the only solicitation in the source data.
