UNSPSC 13111209: Polycarbonate films

UNSPSC 13111209 Polycarbonate films is a Commodity code covering transparent polycarbonate sheet materials that state and local governments procure for construction, demolition, and facility hardening applications. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement, on behalf of its Construction and Demolition Department, issued RFQ 547300 in May 2026 seeking polycarbonate board materials meeting specifications for durability and forced-entry resistance—clear sheets no less than 0.177 inches thick in 4' x 8' and 5' x 8' configurations, with an estimated annual volume of 20,000 sheets. Bidders must demonstrate five years of experience supplying similar materials, maintain production capacity of at least 20,000 sheets annually, and provide five professional references. The City evaluates on low total net bid with F.O.B. delivered pricing preferred, and awards one or multiple contracts. Pre-award requirements include bid bonds (5%), payment and performance bonds (25% to 100% of contract value), notarized affidavits, three years of financial statements, active SAM.GOV registration, and certificates of insurance with specified minimums for General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate) and Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit).

Detroit's procurement emphasizes local business participation through an equalization credit system offering competitive advantages of 1% to 5% depending on certification as a Detroit-based business, Detroit-resident-owned business, minority-owned enterprise, or women-owned business enterprise, with the Purchasing Director authorized to limit bidding to Detroit-based entities when three or more certified firms qualify. The RFQ was posted May 13, 2026 with a response deadline of May 25, 2026. The source reflects limited recent activity under this Commodity code—only one posted opportunity appears in the available records, and it is geographically concentrated in Michigan.
