NIGP 91447: Glass and Glazing

NIGP 91447 Glass And Glazing, an Item code, covers state and local procurement of glazing materials, glass replacement, and related installation services, ranging from ballistic-resistant and insulated glass units to reader boards and window supply. Recent solicitations show state colleges, community colleges, county facilities, and municipal airports buying glass replacement at terminal buildings, renovation projects, and specialized security installations; the work typically involves removal, disposal, and installation of new glazing to match existing openings or new specifications, often paired with window frames, hardware, or site restoration.

Issuing bodies across the code include Washington state community and technical colleges (Skagit Valley, Bellevue, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Yakima Valley, Whatcom, Bellingham, Lower Columbia, Shoreline), Washington state agencies (Department of Enterprise Services, Department of Social and Health Services, Department of Corrections, Department of Labor and Industries, Department of Children, Youth and Families), county governments (Broward County in Florida, DeKalb County in Georgia, Portage County in Wisconsin), municipalities (City of Leesburg, Florida), and specialized districts (Lowell Housing Authority in Massachusetts, South Shore Regional Vocational Technical School District in Massachusetts, University of Texas at Tyler, Oregon Youth Authority). Washington state community and technical colleges dominate the recent-opportunity list, frequently bundling glazing work into broader renovation or infrastructure-repair packages. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Leesburg, Florida IFB 26-019-LK (posted July 2, 2026, due July 22, 2026) for furnishing and installing Level 2 ballistic-resistant glass meeting UL 752 standards at the Leesburg Recreation Complex, requiring three glazing sections, two speak-through units, door lite kits, and a one-year workmanship warranty; the Portage County, Wisconsin Courthouse Renovation—Family Courts bid (posted July 6, 2026, due July 23, 2026) offering a Glazing and Window Film trade package as one of nine packages; and Broward County Aviation Department's glass replacement at FLL Terminal 1 (posted June 18, 2026, due June 30, 2026), a firm fixed-price procurement for one insulating glass unit replacement using a Viracon VUE2-30 specification. Geographic activity concentrates in Washington state (particularly the community college system), Florida (airports and municipal facilities), Georgia (technical colleges), Wisconsin (county courthouses), and Massachusetts (vocational technical districts and housing authorities), with isolated opportunities in Texas and Oregon. The code sees steady bid activity aligned with facility renovation cycles, maintenance replacements, and security upgrades, with response dates typically 30–45 days from posting and procurement managed through state DES portals, county purchasing departments, and electronic bidding platforms.
