UNSPSC 47131824: Glass or window cleaners

UNSPSC 47131824 Glass or window cleaners is a Commodity code covering cleaning products and on-demand window cleaning services that state and local governments procure to maintain municipal, school, and higher education facilities. The code captures two distinct work streams: consumable glass and window cleaning chemicals and supplies bundled into larger janitorial procurement packages, and contract services for professional window cleaning at municipal buildings, schools, and other public facilities. School districts dominate the recent activity, soliciting custodial supplies on a recurring basis; counties and cities issue periodic RFPs and ITBs for facility maintenance, including dedicated window cleaning services. Hillsborough County (Florida) posted an ITB for $765,679.84 in consumable janitorial and operational supplies for 47 fire stations operated 24/7, with delivery required to a central public safety operations complex in Tampa by July 24, 2026. The City of Orlando issued an IFB on April 24, 2026, for interior and exterior window cleaning services across 36 municipal facilities at varying frequencies—quarterly through annually—with pricing submitted per cycle and bids due April 27, 2026, requiring EPA-approved green chemicals and a $15.00 per-hour living wage floor. Davis Technical College in Utah (Davis County) solicited on-demand window cleaning services for five campus buildings on an IFB with a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough on March 26, 2026, and bids due April 3, 2026, with a five-year firm-price term.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Arizona, with secondary representation in Utah, New Jersey, and other states. Texas schools—Northside Independent School District in San Antonio—have posted multiple solicitations: RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026) and RFP 2026-049 for custodial equipment (due March 26, 2026), both emphasizing that failure to respond jeopardizes incumbent status. Georgia school districts (Madison County Board of Education and Muscogee County School District) solicited custodial supplies covering cleaning chemicals, paper products, floor care, tools, and can liners, with Madison County due June 2, 2026, and Muscogee County due May 22, 2026. The Phoenix Housing Department issued an RFP for multi-family window replacement services with comprehensive removal and commercial-grade aluminum installation, due May 11, 2026, evaluated 40-40-20 on approach, qualifications, and price. Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear in the Texas market—Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative managed a $5.22 million catalog discount RFP for custodial supplies serving member districts across the region. School-driven procurement dominates the code's activity; districts treat custodial supply contracts as recurring managed buys with multi-year renewal options and often flag incumbent vendors that failure to respond to new RFPs risks losing continuity beyond expiration dates.
