UNSPSC 52131705: Metallic reel for curtain

Metallic supporting structure for curtains

UNSPSC 52131705 Metallic reel for curtain is a Commodity code that covers window covering hardware and mechanical components, though recent state and local solicitations show the code is being applied more broadly to encompass full window covering supply and maintenance services rather than metallic reels in isolation. State and local governments solicit under this code for installation, repair, and ongoing maintenance of interior window treatments including vertical blinds, roller shades, solar shades, and blackout shades at public facilities. Issuing bodies include transit authorities and other special-purpose districts managing multiple office or operational locations. The work typically involves on-call, as-needed service models with response-time requirements, measurement and fitting verification before installation, warranty provisions, and compliance with facility-specific insurance and health-safety specifications.

Activity is concentrated in California. The Orange County Transportation Authority posted RFQ 260563 for window covering supply and maintenance services on September 29, 2026, with a due date of October 13, 2026; the scope covers vertical blinds, roller shades, solar shades, and blackout shades at two facilities in Orange, California (600 South Main Street and 550 South Main Street), with a firm-fixed unit-price model and a $35,000 budget over a three-year term with no guaranteed usage. The contract requires 24-hour response times for service calls, a minimum 90-day warranty, and standard operating hours Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with after-hours negotiation available. Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, plus Automobile Liability of $2,000,000 combined single limits and Workers' Compensation, are mandatory, with OCTA as additional insured. This is not a prevailing wage contract. Award goes to the lowest, responsive, responsible firm without further discussion, and all quoted prices must be certified equal to or lower than prices quoted to any other local, state, or federal government entity for equal or lesser scope services.
