UNSPSC 30171616: Double-paned window

A type of window that has two parallel panes (slabs of glass) with a separation of typically about 1 cm; this space is permanently sealed and filled at the time of manufacture with dry air or other dry nonreactive gas. Such windows provide a marked improvement in thermal insulation (and usually in acoustic insulation as well) and are resistant to fogging and frosting caused by temperature differential.

UNSPSC 30171616 Double-paned window (Commodity) covers glass-replacement, window-film, and glazing-system services that state and local governments are actively procuring for facility maintenance, security upgrades, and building envelope performance. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies treating double-paned windows and associated installation work as discrete line items within broader capital or maintenance contracts—residential colleges, county intermediate school districts, cities, counties, and utilities are seeking vendors qualified in commercial glass installation, historic window replacement, and specialty films (shatter-resistant, reflective, security-grade, solar-control) with five to seven years of documented experience. The work spans routine replacement of existing window assemblies, removal and disposal of damaged or outdated units, site-specific glass cutting and fabrication, application of specialty window films for privacy or security, and wet-glazing of curtain-wall systems. Collin County Community College District (ITB FY2024ITB046) solicited window glass and skylight replacement across multiple campuses with a three-year term effective November 2024, requiring vendors to demonstrate five years of commercial experience, conduct site walks, and meet prevailing-wage and insurance requirements. Pulaski County Commission (Georgia) seeks contractors for historic window replacement at its 1874 courthouse, with strict compliance to National Historic Preservation Act standards and original architectural character restoration.

State and local procurement bodies soliciting under this code span community colleges, county intermediate school districts, municipalities, county governments, utilities, and public housing authorities across Texas, Michigan, Connecticut, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Idaho, Arizona, and Washington. Lapeer County Intermediate School District (Michigan) issued an RFQ for shatter-resistant and one-way privacy window films with installation by July 28, 2026, requiring trained technicians and manufacturer-specific training. The Town of Berlin, Connecticut (RFP 2026-35) sought on-call window and glazing services on a two-year initial contract with renewal options, requiring Connecticut state licensing and three years of municipal experience. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania issued multiple parallel ITBs for both Level 1 bullet-resistant glass installation (bulletproof window replacement in residential and common areas) and security window tinting at its Youth Center, each with prevailing-wage requirements and community-participation goals mandating 15 percent local spend and 5 percent disadvantaged-business allocation. Geographic activity concentrates in the mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Connecticut), upper Midwest (Michigan, Indiana), South (Georgia, Texas, Florida), and Mountain West (Idaho, Arizona), with Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida showing repeat activity. The Orlando Utilities Commission (Florida, RFP 9132) solicited wet glazing services for a ten-story office building's exterior curtain wall, requiring seven years of documented experience and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
