UNSPSC 30171611: Bow windows

UNSPSC 30171611 Bow windows (Commodity) shows limited relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—bow windows, a specific curved-glass window style—does not align with what state and local buyers are actually soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities filed under the code involve aluminum storefronts, security glazing, fixed window installations, and multi-family window replacement, none of which are bow windows as commonly understood. One listing (Kissimmee Utility Authority, RFQ 16526-CV, due July 29, 2016) is dated a decade in the past and describes sliding windows for a utility pavilion. Of the remaining six opportunities, the Williamson County Purchasing Department notice is purely administrative relocation information with no procurement scope. The others—Orange County's Fredrick Douglas window replacement (sealed bid Y26-743, due June 9, 2026), Orange County's aluminum sign blanks (Y26-162, due April 30, 2026), City of Phoenix multi-family window replacement (RFP FY26-0861-13, due May 11, 2026), Beaufort County law enforcement center window installation (IFB 021425, due February 20, 2025), Elk Rapids Schools window and shade replacement (RFP, due April 17, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools design-build security hardening (RFP PE55037NONST2026000000006, due March 13, 2026)—involve general window installation, replacement, and storefront work rather than bow windows specifically.

The issuing bodies span Florida counties and municipalities, Arizona city government, Michigan school districts, Georgia school districts, and South Carolina county government, with no clear concentration in any region. The work typically comprises removal and installation of commercial-grade aluminum window and storefront systems, sometimes with historic preservation, energy-code, or security-hardening requirements. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal product and what is actually being bought, this code appears to be a misclassification or data-tagging issue rather than a meaningful procurement category. Buyers pursuing window work at state and local agencies should verify tagging against actual scope documents before relying on this code for opportunity identification.
