NIGP 44052: Lead Glass

NIGP 44052 Lead Glass, an Item code, encompasses ballistic-resistant glazing materials and installation services that state and local governments procure for facility hardening and public-safety applications. Recent solicitations show municipalities buying Level 2 ballistic-resistant glass meeting UL 752 standards, with scope extending to full installation labor, field verification, removal of existing glazing, and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city governments purchasing for recreation facilities, administrative offices, and other public buildings. The work typically involves lump-sum, firm-price contracts with mandatory performance bonds, general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and warranty provisions covering both materials and installation workmanship.

The City intended to issue an award recommendation by August 7, 2026. Recent activity in this code remains limited to the opportunities posted; no additional state or local ballistic-glass solicitations appear in the current record.
