UNSPSC 30171615: French windows

UNSPSC 30171615 French windows (Commodity) covers the supply and installation of replacement window systems for public buildings, including historic courthouse restoration, municipal facility upgrades, and institutional multi-family housing. State and local governments buy under this code primarily when replacing or upgrading windows in occupied or historic facilities where preservation compliance, energy efficiency, and operational continuity are drivers. Recent solicitations reflect two main procurement patterns: historic window replacement requiring National Historic Preservation Act compliance and matching of original architectural character, and contemporary commercial or institutional window systems emphasizing impact resistance, thermal performance, and fast-track installation during occupied-facility operations. Issuing bodies span county commissions (Pulaski County, Georgia; Orange County, Florida), municipal housing and facilities departments (City of Phoenix Housing Department, Kissimmee Utility Authority), and county purchasing offices managing multi-property portfolios.

Activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest. Pulaski County Commission's RFP for Courthouse Window Replacement (PE71600NONST2026000000002), due June 19, 2026, sought replacement of 66 wood and steel hung-sash units in the 1874 National Register-listed courthouse with new double-hung units matching historic specifications, requiring three references from similar projects and compliance with preservation guidelines. Orange County, Florida issued an IFB for Fredrick Douglas Window Replacement (Y26743), due June 9, 2026, with an estimated cost of $319,428.00 for demolition and installation of new aluminum storefront systems with options for impact-resistant units, night-shift construction in an occupied facility, and 180-day completion schedule. The City of Phoenix Housing Department's RFP for Multi-Family Window Replacement (RFPFY26086113), due May 11, 2026, specified commercial-grade aluminum systems with historic preservation and EPA lead-safe compliance across Maricopa County properties. The Kissimmee Utility Authority's RFQ for window installation at Marydia Substation (RFQ16526CV) demonstrates smaller institutional utility projects; three vendors competed on a $13,000–$28,000 range. Competitive entry remains open; no set-asides or incumbent preferences appear in recent notices.
