UNSPSC 52130000: Window treatments

UNSPSC 52130000 Window treatments, a Family code, encompasses the supply, installation, and maintenance of interior window coverings including blinds, shades, rollers, solar shades, blackout shades, and vertical blinds for state and local government facilities. State and local governments use this code primarily for facility upgrades, routine maintenance, and operational capital projects at administrative buildings, schools, transit facilities, and public recreation centers. Issuing bodies include state departments of administrative services and environmental agencies, county transportation authorities, city municipalities, and school districts. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of strategic asset evaluation (Maryland Environmental Service's request for information on window infrastructure optimization across 614 existing windows), as-needed maintenance services with fixed budgets (Orange County Transportation Authority's $35,000 three-year window covering supply and maintenance contract), and procurement of specific window-treatment products with installation (New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services' supply and installation of 69 solar shades at a state office building in Concord).

Recent activity spans the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and parts of the Southwest. The Rhode Island Division of Purchases posted a Master Price Agreement for statewide window blinds, shades, and accessories furnishing and installation (RFQ RFQM27006929, proposals due September 14, 2026), with a 15 percent minimum MBE/WBE participation requirement; the contract runs October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029, with two optional 12-month renewal periods. The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services solicited bids for solar shade supply and installation at a Concord office location (BID1127, due August 7, 2026), with a mandatory site visit beginning July 21, 2026. The Orange County Transportation Authority (California) requested quotes for window covering supply and maintenance at two Orange facilities (RFQ 260563, due October 13, 2026, with a non-mandatory job walk on September 24, 2026), specifying vertical blinds, roller shades, solar shades, and blackout shades on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed usage and firm-fixed pricing locked for the three-year term. The Maryland Environmental Service's request for information (posted October 7, 2026) does not result in a contract but signals active facility assessment work informing future capital decisions on full replacement, comprehensive rehabilitation, complete reglazing, and selective improvement strategies.
