UNSPSC 30171802: Vented skylights

UNSPSC 30171802 Vented skylights (Commodity) captures roof and atrium skylight replacement and repair work that state and local governments solicit when existing skylights fail or require modernization, typically as part of larger exterior envelope or facility renovation projects. The code sees actual demand for replacement of damaged or failed skylight systems in active buildings—including airport terminals, military facilities, and municipal structures—where bidders assume responsibility for design coordination, permitting, structural integration, and installation while facilities remain operational. Issuing bodies span airport authorities, state military departments, and municipal governments; the mix reflects that skylight replacement tends to arise as a discrete line item within broader capital projects rather than as a standalone procurement category.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Oregon. The Melbourne Airport Authority issued two closely related invitations for bids (ITB20260202 posted April 13, 2026, and ITB202601300202 posted March 6, 2026, both with March 10, 2026 response dates) for replacement of an atrium skylight damaged by hurricanes in the main terminal at Melbourne Orlando International Airport, with a $1,000,000 project budget and 27-week completion window; work includes demolition and installation of approximately 4,055 square feet of translucent Kalwall panel assemblies, structural steel framing, and new gypsum assemblies, subject to Davis-Bacon wage requirements. The State of Oregon, acting through the Oregon Military Department, issued an invitation to bid (ITB S2480000015595, posted April 15, 2026, due May 28, 2026) for the FY26 PANG Exterior Repair Bundle at Portland Air National Guard Base, which includes skylight replacement in Building 140 as one of four separate contract line items; the project scope spans $50,000 to $125,000 and requires attendance at a mandatory pre-bid conference on May 7, 2026. The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626, posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) nominally tagged to this code but focused on law enforcement equipment shows no genuine skylight content and represents a code-tagging mismatch rather than relevant demand signal.
