NIGP 44051: Obscure Glass (Not Florentine)

NIGP 44051 Obscure Glass (Not Florentine), an Item code, addresses a narrow specialty in architectural and decorative glazing where state and local governments procure obscured or translucent glass products that do not meet Florentine specifications — typically for privacy screening, light diffusion in restrooms, lobbies, or administrative spaces, and aesthetic applications in public facilities. The scope covers glass sheets and panels selected for their ability to obstruct clear sightlines while permitting light transmission, used in renovation and new construction across school districts, municipal buildings, transit facilities, and county administrative centers. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city public works departments, school district maintenance operations, and county facilities management offices, though the specific customer base and regional distribution patterns are not evident from recent solicitation activity.

The source material does not identify recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 44051, and therefore does not support characterization of geographic spread, issuing-body concentration, or representative recent solicitations.
