UNSPSC 52131604: Vertical blinds

UNSPSC 52131604 Vertical blinds, a Commodity code, covers the supply and installation of window blinds and related shading products that state and local governments procure to outfit facilities ranging from administrative buildings to schools and county offices. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as a bundled window-treatment procurement spanning mini blinds, aluminum and PVC vertical blinds, roller shades, and motorized shading systems, often combined with removal of existing treatments, delivery, and full installation services. Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, community college districts, and municipalities: the Pinellas County School District in Florida, Gwinnett County and Collin County Community College District in Georgia, the City of Philadelphia, and the Parkway School District in Missouri have all solicited under this code in the past six months. School districts and county agencies dominate the recent activity, reflecting the prevalence of facility maintenance and renovation work across educational and administrative properties.

The code shows broad geographic activity across the South, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, with recent solicitations posted from Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the Pinellas County School District (ITB, $700,000 annually, due Nov 5, 2025, supply and installation of mini blinds, vertical blinds, and roller shades at school facilities countywide with a mandatory pre-bid on Oct 21, 2025); Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources (informal written quotes, due May 15, 2026, for 61 aluminum cordless-lift blinds with installation at a central facility with a pre-quote conference May 8, 2026); Collin County Community College District (RFP FY2026-RFP-050, due Feb 17, 2026, for a three-year blanket supply-and-installation contract commencing April 1, 2026); and the City of Philadelphia (IFB, due July 10, 2026, micro-purchase contract not to exceed $45,000 for mini blinds). Contracts typically require comprehensive insurance (general liability often $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), compliance with state work-authorization requirements, and adherence to local business tax and nondiscrimination rules. Price structures commonly include furnish-only and furnish-and-install options priced against manufacturer MSRP, with delivery F.O.B. destination and installation timelines of 60 working days or negotiated coordination windows.
