UNSPSC 47131824: Glass or window cleaners

UNSPSC 47131824 Glass or window cleaners is a Commodity code covering window and building exterior cleaning services that state and local governments solicit for facility maintenance across diverse property portfolios. Recent activity shows two distinct procurement patterns: specialized window-cleaning contracts for single or multi-facility sites (interior and exterior glass, building skin), and broader custodial-supply aggregations that bundle cleaning chemicals, consumables, and equipment for district-wide distribution. Window-cleaning services dominate the code's actual scope—contractors furnish labor, mechanical lifts, materials, and schedules around building operations and prevailing-wage requirements. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Caltrans), municipalities (City of Orlando), counties (Hillsborough County), school districts (Northside Independent School District, Madison County Board of Education, Cobb County School District), and county boards of education. State set-aside programs appear frequently: California's SB/DVBE restriction in the Caltrans solicitation and E-Verify compliance and insurance bonding requirements across Georgia and Texas school districts reflect state-level preferences and risk frameworks. No single repeat buyer dominates, but school districts and county facilities recur as steady customers managing multi-site cleaning portfolios.

Recent opportunities span California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with geographic spread across West Coast, Southeast, and South Central regions. Representative recent solicitations include Caltrans District 11's Certified SB/DVBE-only Interior and Exterior Window Washing (IFPQ, due October 1, 2026) for the Transportation Management Center in San Diego with a contract ceiling below $250,000 and prevailing wages of $18.53 per hour; City of Orlando's Interior and Exterior Window Cleaning Services across 36 municipal facilities (IFB 26-0233, due May 4, 2026, subsequently awarded) requiring quarterly to annual frequencies and EPA-approved green chemicals with a $15.00 living wage floor; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' Janitorial and Operational Supplies for 47 fire stations operating 24/7 (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026) totaling an estimated $765,679.84 for one year with 10-day standard delivery. Cobb County School District's custodial-equipment procurement (B27046, due September 23, 2026) and Northside Independent School District's custodial-supplies RFP (2026-071, due June 4, 2026, replacing expiring 2025-091) illustrate the volume of school-district consumption. Prevailing-wage mandates, insurance floors, and E-Verify compliance are standard contractual features; cooperative purchasing vehicle availability and multi-award authority appear in municipal and county solicitations.
