NIGP 96232: Etching and Stained Glass Services

NIGP 96232 Etching And Stained Glass Services, an Item code, encompasses glass repair, replacement, installation, and tinting work that state and local governments procure for fleet vehicles, municipal equipment, and facility infrastructure. The actual scope of work solicited under this code spans windshield and automotive glass repair and replacement; custom fabrication and installation of acrylic, Lexan, and polycarbonate materials for specialized equipment; window and windshield tinting compliant with state law; and complete glass installation with surface preparation and leak testing. Cities and municipal departments are the primary issuing bodies, with municipal fleet and parks operations driving recent activity. Vendors must meet strict performance standards including minimum on-time completion rates, certified technician staffing, documented supply-chain capacity, and rapid turnaround times—often 24 to 72 hours for parts supply and 48 hours to 5 business days for repairs depending on emergency classification.

The City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation posted a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) due June 18, 2026, for glass repair and services across municipal vehicles and equipment through a prequalification-to-IFB process, requiring vendors to supply at least 80 percent of requested items within 24 hours, maintain a 95 percent on-time completion rate, and employ certified technicians with manufacturer or industry-recognized credentials. The code shows limited recent activity in the source material—the second opportunity listed (City of DeBary, Florida, April 2026) involves irrigation system installation and does not fall within the etching and stained glass services scope. Geographic spread is narrow based on available opportunities, with Atlanta representing the primary recent procurement activity. Pre-solicitation conferences and detailed specification reviews are standard in solicitations under this code.
