UNSPSC 30171607: Horizontal slider windows

UNSPSC 30171607 Horizontal slider windows, a Commodity code, covers the supply and installation of sliding window systems for state and local facility projects, including low-E glazing, tempered glass, impact-resistant units, and related hardware and framing materials. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, municipal utilities, and county departments, with Florida jurisdictions dominating recent activity. The work solicited spans replacement and retrofit projects at public buildings—courthouses, administrative facilities, and utility infrastructure—where specifications typically call for energy-efficient dual-pane glazing, compliance with Florida Building Code or local wind-speed requirements (often 100 mph), and architectural preservation where applicable. Contractors commonly furnish installation labor including frame work, setting blocks, epoxy sealing, and hardware installation, often with warranty requirements of one to ten years on glass and labor. Issuing bodies require licensure (Florida General Contractor, Certified Glazing Contractor, or equivalent), proof of insurance including general liability minimums of $200,000 to $1,000,000, and submission of references demonstrating prior similar work.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Florida, with solicitations from Kissimmee Utility Authority (RFQ 16526-CV, July 2016, twelve sliding windows with Low-E and screens at Marydia Substation; bid range $13,147–$28,411), Escambia County (ITB PD2526116, October 2026, replacement of second-floor storefront windows at two historic downtown buildings in Pensacola), Monroe County (RFQ RFS647, due September 28, 2026, aluminum storefront system and doors at Old Plantation Key Courthouse in Tavernier), Broward County (open-end indefinite-quantity contract BLD2131033B2, due October 2, 2026, repair or replacement services across multiple county agencies with $350,000 annual pass-thru allowance for permits and materials), and Orange County (sealed bid Y26743, due August 13, 2026, window replacement at Fredrick Douglas Building, estimated cost $319,428). The City of Tucson issued RFP 226043 for an annual requirements contract covering window glass and related materials for municipal departments. Geographic concentration reflects Florida's hurricane-resistant building standards and active municipal capital-renewal activity; opportunities also appear in Wisconsin (Portage County courthouse entrance remodel) and Arizona (Tucson). Most recent opportunities are solicited as sealed bids or RFQs with 30–90 day quote-validity periods and award criteria prioritizing lowest responsive and responsible bidders; several jurisdictions impose local-business preferences, CBE set-asides, or Section 3 labor requirements.
