NIGP 44056: Annealed Glass

NIGP 44056 Annealed Glass, an Item code, covers furnishing and installation of window glass and related materials for state and local government projects. State and local procurement under this code focuses on the supply and in-place installation of multiple glass types—including single and double strength, obscure, plate, safety, tempered, thermal pane, and plexiglass—along with associated aluminum wall work, screen installation, and miscellaneous hardware for commercial, industrial, and residential applications. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal departments managing building maintenance and housing rehabilitation; work is often structured as multi-year annual requirements contracts with on-call labor and material pricing. Contractors typically must carry local presence, maintain facilities or third-party maintenance agreements, and in many cases comply with prevailing wage determinations and federal compliance frameworks such as HUD Section 3 reporting and disadvantaged-business provisions.

The City of Tucson issued RFP 226043 on August 5, 2026, seeking multiple contractors for an annual requirements contract to furnish and install window glass and related materials, with a one-year initial term and up to four additional one-year extensions.

The solicitation requires unit-cost and labor-rate pricing with actual-cost guarantees not to exceed 10% of estimates.
