NIGP 93638: Glass and Glazing Equipment Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93638 Glass and Glazing Equipment Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, covers removal, replacement, installation, and repair of glass units and glazing systems across municipal buildings, vehicles, and specialized infrastructure. State and local governments procure this work to maintain operational readiness of fleets, facility exteriors, and high-use spaces such as airport terminals and public housing stock. The work spans window glass installation and aluminum wall assemblies, windshield and vehicle glass replacement, insulating glass unit (IGU) swaps, custom fabrication of acrylic and polycarbonate components, anti-graffiti film, and glass tinting services. Issuing bodies include city departments (environmental services, parks and recreation, aviation), county governments, and special-purpose authorities; recent activity shows repeat demand from Broward County Aviation Department (two separate Terminal 1 glass replacement solicitations posted June and July 2026) and municipal fleets in major metropolitan areas.

Recent solicitations span four states with concentrated activity in the Southeast. The City of Tucson issued RFP 226043 in August 2026 for furnishing and installation of window glass and related materials to support Environmental and General Services Department and Housing and Community Development projects on an annual requirements contract with Section 3 and HUD compliance provisions. Broward County Aviation Department posted two separate IFBs in June and July 2026 (BLD2132243Q1 and BLD2132243Q2) for removal and replacement of insulating glass units at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Terminal 1, both with local-vendor preference tiebreakers under Broward County Code and response dates of June 30 and August 6, 2026 respectively. The City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation conducted a prequalification phase (SOQ due June 18, 2026) for glass repair, replacement, installation, and tinting services across fleet and equipment with response requirements including 80% supply within 24 hours and documented technician certifications. Fulton County, Georgia issued IFB/GS/DPW/2607-1270011 in July 2026 for glass repair products and services for municipal vehicles and heavy equipment, with bids due August 11, 2026. Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia solicited on-call electrical installation and maintenance services under RFP 27-0009 (due September 30, 2026), a broader facility maintenance contract that encompasses glass and glazing work as part of overall building system maintenance.
