UNSPSC 30171611: Bow windows

UNSPSC 30171611 Bow windows (Commodity) encompasses the supply and installation of window systems in public facilities and buildings, based on recent state and local solicitations covering aluminum storefront systems, tempered dual-pane low-e glazing, impact-resistant windows, and related installation labor. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include utility authorities, county governments, cities, and municipal departments. The Kissimmee Utility Authority, Escambia County, Monroe County, Broward County, Orange County, the City of Tucson, and Portage County have all posted opportunities in the past six months, ranging from single-building window replacements to open-ended multi-year requirements contracts serving multiple jurisdictional departments. Work solicited spans renovation of courthouse storefronts, utility-facility windows, municipal buildings, and public housing rehabilitation, with typical scopes including demolition of existing windows, installation of new aluminum or storefront systems meeting Florida Building Code or local standards, weatherstripping, hardware installation, and related sealant and framing work. Contractors must typically hold active state general contractor licenses, obtain permits, provide manufacturer warranties (commonly one to ten years depending on component), and maintain comprehensive liability insurance. Most solicitations require compliance with energy-efficiency standards, impact-resistance requirements in hurricane-prone jurisdictions, and historical district design review where applicable.
