NIGP 87090: Window Shades

NIGP 87090 Window Shades, an Item code, covers the supply, installation, repair, and replacement of manual and motorized window shade systems, roller shades, blinds, and related treatments across state and local government facilities. State and local buyers under this code currently source roller shades with specific fabric specifications (Sheerweave or comparable thermal-control materials), mini blinds and vertical blinds in aluminum or PVC, motorized shade systems meeting ADA accessibility standards, solar-control window film paired with shades, and full installation and removal services. The issuing-body mix includes state park authorities (Kentucky Department of Parks), county governments (Santa Clara County, Boulder County, Hillsborough County), cities (Phoenix), school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Collin County Community College District, Parkway School District), and county youth facilities (Montgomery County, Pennsylvania). Boulder County and Montgomery County have appeared in multiple recent solicitations, signaling repeat demand for comprehensive window-covering supply and installation frameworks.

Recent opportunities span Kentucky, California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Florida, and Missouri. Representative procurements include the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Parks requesting lodge room window treatments and motorized shades for Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park (RFB, due August 5, 2026); Santa Clara County soliciting parks administrative building shade and film installation services under prevailing-wage rules with a D-52 California Window Coverings Contractor's License requirement (ITB, due June 18, 2026); Boulder County issuing a statement-of-qualifications short-list arrangement for supply, installation, replacement, and repair across county buildings (due June 26, 2026); the City of Phoenix issuing a five-year as-needed contract for roller shades, blinds, motorized systems, and exterior sunshades with a September 1, 2026 commencement (IFB, due May 8, 2026); and Pinellas County Schools procuring mini blinds, vertical blinds, and roller shades across multiple facilities with approximately $700,000 annual value (ITB, due November 5, 2025). Prevailing-wage, insurance, bonding, and licensing requirements are routine; several procurements in Pennsylvania and Arizona reference ADA compliance, building codes, and work-authorization verification. No broad geographic concentration appears; activity is dispersed across public authorities at state, county, city, and school-district levels.
