NIGP 44073: Thermo Glass (Insulated)

NIGP 44073 Thermo Glass (Insulated), an Item code, covers the furnishing and installation of insulated and specialty window glass products for state and local government facilities and projects. State and local procurement under this code centers on labor and materials for glass replacement, glazing work, and related window treatments across commercial, industrial, and residential buildings—including single and double-strength glass, tempered panes, thermal-pane assemblies, plexiglass, and safety glass, alongside aluminum wall systems, screen installation, and anti-graffiti film. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal departments and housing authorities; the City of Tucson's Environmental and General Services Department and Housing and Community Development Department represent the kinds of departments that drive demand.

The City of Tucson posted RFP 226043 on August 5, 2026, seeking multiple contractors for an annual requirements contract for window glass furnishing and installation across the Tucson metropolitan area, with response due August 18, 2026. The contract spans one year with potential four-year extensions and covers on-call labor and materials for both city building maintenance and HUD-funded public housing rehabilitation. Prevailing wage requirements apply, with hourly rates ranging from $14.32 to $20.98 depending on classification. The procurement includes Section 3 and HUD compliance mandates—contractors must track 25 percent of total labor hours performed by Section 3 Workers and 5 percent by Targeted Section 3 Workers, with specific certification requirements for disadvantaged business enterprises. A pre-submittal conference was held July 21, 2022, via Microsoft Teams.
