NIGP 87070: Vertical Blinds, All Types

NIGP 87070 Vertical Blinds, All Types is an Item code covering the supply and installation of vertical window blinds across state and local facilities. State and local governments use this code to procure standard and custom vertical blinds—including PVC, aluminum, and vinyl variants—for police precincts, school facilities, state office buildings, hospitals, libraries, and county departments. Recent solicitations show demand for both one-time facility upgrades (such as installing UV-protected vinyl blinds at a police precinct) and recurring maintenance contracts spanning multiple locations. Issuing bodies include municipal procurement offices, county school districts, state departments, county governments, and special-purpose hospital systems. The City of Detroit, Pinellas County School District in Florida, the Florida Department of Financial Services, and the California Department of State Hospitals are among recent active buyers under this code. Work scopes range from single-building installations to multi-facility rolling maintenance and cleaning services.
