UNSPSC 30171705: Laminated glass

UNSPSC 30171705 Laminated glass is a Commodity code covering the furnishing and installation of glass products for state and local building and facility maintenance projects. The City of Tucson's recent RFP (No. 226043) illustrates the scope: contractors supply labor and materials for window glass installation across commercial, industrial, and residential settings, working with single and double strength, obscure, plate, safety, tempered, thermal pane, and plexiglass products. Installation work includes high-rise scaffolding and multi-glazier projects, often paired with aluminum wall work and screen installation. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal departments managing building maintenance — in Tucson's case, the Environmental and General Services Department (EGSD) and Housing and Community Development (HCD) — and likely city public works or facilities management offices in other jurisdictions. These are typically multi-year requirements contracts rather than spot purchases, allowing the municipality to call on contractors for ongoing as-needed work across multiple properties and project types.

The Tucson opportunity represents municipal activity in the Southwest, with the RFP issued as an annual requirements contract (RFP No. 226043, due August 18, 2022) funded by HUD for HCD projects and supporting the city's public housing rehabilitation program. The contract includes prevailing wage requirements, Section 3 compliance mandates for disadvantaged business enterprise participation, and provisions for labor-hour tracking with benchmarks of 25% Section 3 Workers and 5% Targeted Section 3 Workers. Contractors must maintain local presence, resources to meet city department demand, and either in-house maintenance facilities or third-party maintenance agreements. The source does not name other recent state or local opportunities under this code, limiting geographic characterization to the Tucson market at present.
