UNSPSC 30171905: Tilt or transom window frames

UNSPSC 30171905 Tilt or transom window frames is a Commodity code covering aluminum and commercial-grade window systems for building renovation and new construction. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on window replacement projects in occupied facilities, including multi-family housing, county courthouses, school buildings, sheriff's departments, and utility infrastructure. The work involves furnishing and installing complete window assemblies—often aluminum storefronts or horizontal-sliding commercial windows with low-E glass, argon insulation, or impact-resistant glazing—along with removal and disposal of existing frames, sealing, drywall patching, and related finishes. Issuing bodies span county purchasing departments, municipal governments, school districts, and special-purpose utility authorities, with recent activity concentrated among Florida counties (Orange County, Kissimmee Utility Authority), Wisconsin counties (Portage County), and Arizona municipalities (City of Phoenix), alongside activity in South Carolina, Michigan, and Georgia.

Recent opportunities include Orange County, Florida's sealed-bid solicitation for the Fredrick Douglas Window Replacement project (Y26-743, due June 9, 2026) seeking furnishing and installation of aluminum storefront window systems at an estimated cost of $319,428.00; City of Phoenix Housing Department's RFP for multi-family window replacement services covering Maricopa County and Phoenix (RFPFY26086113, due May 11, 2026) with evaluation criteria weighted 40 percent method, 40 percent qualifications, and 20 percent pricing; Portage County, Wisconsin's IFB for Phase 1 courthouse entrance remodel including Aluminum Entrances & Storefronts as one of four trade packages (202617PC, due June 2, 2026); Elk Rapids Schools Board of Education RFP for window and shade replacement at two schools with a mandatory pre-bid meeting April 10, 2026 and bid opening April 17, 2026; and Beaufort County, South Carolina IFB for fixed aluminum-framed window installation at the Sheriff's Law Enforcement Center (021425, due February 20, 2025). Most solicitations require three to five years of demonstrated experience, commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, pre-bid meetings or site visits, and performance and payment bonds. Service Disabled Veteran Business preference eligibility appears in some Orange County procurements but set-asides are not standard across all jurisdictions.
