NIGP 44050: Mirror Glass

NIGP 44050 Mirror Glass (Item) covers the furnishing and installation of mirror and specialty glass products for state and local government facilities. Concrete procurement activity shows state and local governments buying window and door glass replacement, mirror installation, custom-cut glass work, and related materials and labor for building maintenance and repair across municipal departments. Recent solicitations reflect as-needed or requirements-contract frameworks rather than project-specific buys, with issuers establishing multiple vendors to support ongoing facility operations. The issuing-body mix includes city governments (Lubbock, Tucson, Fort Worth) and their service departments, which appear to be the primary buyers under this code. Tucson's Environmental and General Services Department and Housing and Community Development Department exemplify typical customer organizations, paired with as-needed contracting structures that allow flexibility across commercial, industrial, and residential projects.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Arizona based on recent postings. The City of Fort Worth issued an RFQt for window and door glass replacement services for its Water Department with a response date of May 8, 2026, emphasizing five years of prior commercial glass-installation experience, firm pricing, emergency response capability, and SBE certification eligibility under local ordinance. The City of Tucson posted RFP 226043 on August 5, 2026, for an annual requirements contract covering furnishing and installation of window glass, aluminum walls, screens, and related materials for EGSD and HCD, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for July 21, 2022, and proposals due August 18, 2022; the contract includes Section 3 and HUD compliance requirements with prevailing wage provisions and targets disadvantaged business enterprises. The City of Lubbock issued ITB 2619925SR in late September 2026 with a response deadline of October 20, 2026, for commercial repair, maintenance, and specialty services across city facilities on an as-needed basis, though the posting does not itemize specific service lines or contract value.
