NIGP 44077: Window Glass

NIGP 44077 Window Glass, an Item code, encompasses the supply and installation of replacement window glass, glazing systems, and associated sealing and film products for state and local facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying window replacement for capital maintenance of civic buildings, schools, and utilities; bullet-resistant and security-grade glazing for detention facilities; exterior and interior window film for privacy and solar control; wet glazing and caulking services for building envelopes; and routine window cleaning for municipal properties. Issuing bodies span school districts (Cherokee County School District in Georgia; Lapeer County Intermediate School District in Michigan), county and city governments (Collin County Community College District in Texas; Montgomery County in Pennsylvania; San Bernardino County in California; Pulaski County in Georgia; Orange County and City of Orlando in Florida; Ada County in Idaho), transit authorities (Washington State Convention Center in Washington; Orlando Utilities Commission in Florida), municipal water departments (City of Fort Worth in Texas), housing authorities (Harrisburg Housing Authority in Pennsylvania), and special-purpose districts (Hillsborough County in Florida). Montgomery County, Pennsylvania appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple security-upgrade solicitations in 2026 for bullet-resistant glass and window tint at a juvenile detention facility. School districts and county facilities are recurrent sources of activity under this code.

Geographic activity concentrates in Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Washington, and Idaho, with recent solicitations ranging from small window film installations under $16,000 to substantial multi-building replacement programs.
