NIGP 93689: Venetian Blinds Maintenance and Repair (incl. Cleaning Services)

NIGP 93689 Venetian Blinds Maintenance and Repair (Including Cleaning Services), an Item code, encompasses janitorial services with an emphasis on window washing, blind cleaning and maintenance, and general facility sanitation across county and municipal buildings, schools, and specialized facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring routine and emergency janitorial operations including interior and exterior window washing, blind and shade cleaning and repair, high-touch surface disinfection, restroom and kitchen sanitation, floor care (stripping, waxing, buffing, carpet extraction), trash and recycling removal, and supply management. Issuing bodies include county executive offices, city procurement departments, school districts, state departments (particularly California's Governor's Office of Emergency Services and Department of Motor Vehicles), transit authorities, and special-purpose agencies. California appears as the dominant jurisdiction, with multiple solicitations from Cal OES, the DMV, and the Department of General Services; Florida, New Mexico, Washington State, Idaho, Georgia, and Michigan also show recent activity. County and municipal governments constitute the bulk of issuing bodies, though state agencies and school districts represent significant secondary volume, particularly for specialized facilities like detention centers, DMV offices, and educational campuses.

Representative recent opportunities include the County of Orange's countywide janitorial RFP (RFP0172988904JC, due October 27, 2026) for routine, periodic, and emergency cleaning across multiple departments with mandatory job walks and prevailing wage compliance; the Pinellas County School District's ITB for supply and installation of mini blinds, vertical blinds, and roller shades across school facilities (ITB 25-HO-073, due November 5, 2025) valued at approximately $700,000 annually with local business preferences; the Seattle Convention Center's RFP for window washing services on Arch and Summit buildings (RFP 55009261, due October 13, 2026, revised) requiring five years of high-rise commercial experience and prevailing wage compliance; and the California DMV's series of small-business-only janitorial solicitations at individual field offices (such as 26-104 for San Mateo, due August 27, 2026, and 26-110 for Watsonville, due September 14, 2026) with strict wage mandates under Government Code Section 19134 and compliance with the Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act. Salt Lake County's window-washing RFC (FAC133224, due September 25, 2026) covers six county facilities with an estimated annual spend of $100,000 and preference points for employee health care and veteran hiring. Most opportunities are structured as firm-price fixed-term contracts with insurance and bonding requirements; many California solicitations restrict awards to certified small businesses or apply prevailing wage and displaced-worker retention mandates.
