NIGP 44030: Glass Tinting Film and Supplies (Including Glazing Compounds)

NIGP 44030 Glass Tinting Film and Supplies (Including Glazing Compounds), an Item code, covers the supply and installation of safety, security, and privacy window films and related glazing materials for state and local buildings and facilities. State and local governments procure this code to enhance property security, reduce smash-and-grab theft, improve privacy, protect against UV damage, and meet facility modernization requirements. Work includes site assessment, measurement, film supply, professional installation with surface preparation, caulking removal and replacement, post-installation inspection, and ongoing maintenance and emergency repair services. Installation contractors must hold appropriate state licensing (California Contractor's License D-52 in California, for example) and be authorized resellers for the specific film products specified. Issuing bodies include municipal governments (city procurement offices), county departments, special authorities managing convention centers and public facilities, and county purchasing departments managing courthouse and facility renovation programs. Recent solicitations come from cities (Milpitas, Tucson), counties (Los Angeles County, Portage County, Wisconsin), and regional authorities (Washington Convention and Sports Authority / Events DC).

Geographic activity is concentrated in California (Milpitas, Los Angeles County, Tucson) and the Washington, D.C. / District of Columbia region, with secondary activity in Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Milpitas Storefront Crime Prevention program (solicitation 26246, IFB due September 1, 2026) for shatterproof window film and installation at up to $4,000 per small business with prevailing wage requirements; the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works privacy film installation at Los Padrinos Juvenile Justice Center (solicitation RFBIS27200119, IFB due September 8, 2026) with mandatory job walk and CBE set-aside form requirements; and Events DC's commercial window film purchase, installation, maintenance, and repair services (solicitation 25S056, proposals due August 24, 2026) covering 10,000 square feet of Madico DG 35 film and 5,000 square feet of SunTek ULVDS 40 film at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center with four one-year renewal options. Most recent solicitations emphasize prevailing wage compliance, local and disadvantaged-business-enterprise preferences, and firm-fixed or unit-cost pricing structures with multi-year contract terms or renewable annual arrangements.
