UNSPSC 52131602: Roll up shades

UNSPSC 52131602 Roll up shades is a Commodity code covering the supply and installation of motorized and manual roller shade systems for institutional and commercial building portfolios. State and local governments procure roll-up shades as part of broader window covering and climate control initiatives in schools, county facilities, municipal buildings, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations show demand for standard manual roller shades alongside motorized variants, with several procurements bundling shade installation with complementary window treatments like blinds, vertical blinds, and solar control films. Issuing bodies include county governments (Santa Clara County in California, Boulder County in Colorado, Montgomery County in Pennsylvania, Hillsborough County in Florida), municipal governments (City of Phoenix), school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Parkway School District in Missouri, Collin County Community College District in Texas), and facilities management authorities managing youth detention centers and social services buildings. Boulder County and Collin County Community College District have posted multi-year master contracts on a task-order basis, reflecting the scalability of shade procurement across diverse facility portfolios.
