UNSPSC 52131601: Venetian blinds

UNSPSC 52131601 Venetian blinds is a Commodity code covering the purchase and installation of window blinds and related services that state and local governments buy on an as-needed basis for facility maintenance and capital projects. Recent solicitations show governments procuring aluminum, mini, and fabric blinds paired with field measurement, installation, removal, and disposal services. Work ranges from small micro-purchases (under $43,000) for individual buildings to larger projects spanning multiple facilities or embedded as trade packages within construction management assignments. Issuing bodies include city governments, county utilities departments, and special-purpose districts across multiple states. Most recent opportunities are RFB and RFQ notices with response windows of one to three weeks, reflecting both routine replacement contracting and ad-hoc facility upgrades.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and New Mexico, with recent activity also in Florida and Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia has posted two micro-purchase RFBs for mini blinds and mailroom office blinds (B2627262 and B2727803, both awarded to lowest responsive and responsible bidders with $43,000 micro-purchase ceilings).

Marion County, Florida is accepting subcontractor prequalification for window treatment work as part of the larger Utilities-Silver Springs Shores Maintenance Equipment Building project (20161TO58, bids due October 8, 2026), with prequalification required before bid submission.
