UNSPSC 72153608: Window treatment installation service

The installation of window treatments on windows owned by others

UNSPSC 72153608 Window treatment installation service is a Commodity code encompassing the supply, installation, repair, and replacement of interior and exterior window coverings—including shades, blinds, shutters, and roller systems—across municipal buildings, schools, transit facilities, and institutional campuses. State and local governments solicit this work through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs, with recent opportunities ranging from single-building projects to municipal portfolios spanning dozens of facilities. Issuing bodies include city facility operations divisions, county governments, special districts, school systems, and state maintenance departments. The work typically combines product specification (fabric type, openness factor, color, mounting hardware), labor for removal of existing treatments and installation of new systems, and incidental services such as caulking, paint touchup, and minor surface repairs. Short-list and on-call contract structures are common, particularly in counties and special districts managing distributed building portfolios where task orders flow to qualified vendors rather than through individual competitive solicitations for each project.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. Florida Department of Financial Services (Office of Insurance Regulation) issued an ITB in September 2026 for 277 custom window shades at the Larson Building in Tallahassee, with completion by February 1, 2027 and a mandatory pre-response conference. Drew Charter School in Atlanta posted an RFP in August 2026 for interior and exterior window coverings across approximately 60 classrooms and support spaces, with a local preference for businesses in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, or Gwinnett County; evaluation weighted cost at 40 points and project approach at 30 points. The City of Charlotte issued bids in June 2026 for repair and replacement services across approximately 180 municipal buildings. Boulder County solicited a short-list Statement of Qualifications in June 2026 for both new-construction and service-call window covering work, with projects below $10,000 assignable without competitive bidding and larger work requiring quote submission to all listed vendors. California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) sought SB/MB/DVBE-certified contractors in July and August 2026 for window repair and replacement at six maintenance stations in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, with a maximum bid of $484,000 and prevailing wage requirements. Maryland Environmental Service distributed a Request for Information in October 2026 (responses due October 28, 2026)—not a contract solicitation—seeking industry input on capital asset strategies for 614 existing windows at its headquarters building to evaluate replacement, rehabilitation, reglazing, and selective improvement options.
