UNSPSC 30171615: French windows

UNSPSC 30171615 French windows is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply and installation of specialized window products, including storefront glass systems, dual-pane low-e glazing, and impact-resistant or thermally efficient window units for commercial, municipal, and public facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code seek full-service delivery: supply of materials to specification, site-specific fabrication or field verification, demolition of existing systems, professional installation, sealing, and accompanying interior finishes such as gypsum board patching and painting. Issuers include county commissions, municipal authorities, utility commissions, and special-purpose districts. Kissimmee Utility Authority, Escambia County, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, Orange County, and the City of Tucson are recent buyers; Orange County and the City of Tucson are repeat solicitors. Window replacement projects span public buildings—courthouses, municipal offices, utility substations, daycare centers, and community facilities—where architectural preservation, energy code compliance, and durability standards drive specifications. Contractors typically must hold active state licensing (Florida General Contractor, for example), secure all permits and approvals, carry comprehensive liability and workers' compensation insurance, and provide manufacturer warranties plus extended workmanship warranties (commonly two to ten years).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Southwest. Kissimmee Utility Authority's RFQ 16526-CV sought twelve sliding windows with Low-E glass and argon gas for the Marydia Substation Pavilion with a July 29, 2016 response date; Escambia County's ITB PD2526116 called for dual-pane low-e glazing replacement at two historic downtown Pensacola buildings (Matt Bell and Ordon's Orvis) with a pre-bid on September 23, 2026 and bids due October 14, 2026.
