UNSPSC 72154003: Awning installation service

The installation of awnings

UNSPSC 72154003 Awning installation service is a Commodity code covering the supply, installation, and replacement of exterior and interior window treatments—including awnings, sunshades, blinds, roller shades, and fabric covers—for state and local government buildings, facilities, and institutions. State and local buyers under this code procure full-scope services: fabrication, field measurement, removal of existing treatments, installation of new systems, and disposal, often bundled with minor repairs and adjustments. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning city procurement offices (Detroit Police Department second precinct window blinds), county health departments (Miami-Dade County sunshade and awning installation), state environmental agencies (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission awning replacement), school districts (Pinellas County Schools district-wide blinds and shades, Drew Charter School interior and exterior window coverings), and joint city-county purchasing (Bernalillo County and City of Albuquerque price agreement). Scope varies from single-building projects—such as the 28-window blind installation for Detroit Police's 2nd Precinct (RFQ 548013, due October 30, 2026)—to campus-scale multi-building work like the Florida Fish and Wildlife four-awning replacement at St. Pete Headquarters (ITB 16609, due September 3, 2026, with estimated budget $99,500). Requirements consistently include five years of relevant experience, comprehensive insurance (General Liability typically $1 million to $2 million), and proof of prior comparable projects with references.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Miami-Dade County, Pinellas County Schools, and Fish and Wildlife), with notable solicitations also in Michigan (Detroit), Georgia (Atlanta), and New Mexico (Albuquerque). The Florida Fish and Wildlife awning project (ITB 16609) emphasizes high-durability exterior fabric with 10-year warranties and marine-environment resistance for coastal installations; the Miami-Dade County ITB (due November 10, 2026, with mandatory site visits October 9) specifies High Velocity Hurricane Zone compliance and Schedule 40 hot-dip galvanized framing. Pinellas County Schools (ITB 25-HO-073, due November 5, 2025) is a large-dollar contract valued at approximately $700,000 annually with potential for two additional renewal years, requiring local preference (25-mile radius of service center). Drew Charter School in Atlanta (RFP FY27-003, due September 11, 2026) solicited interior and exterior shades for 60 classrooms and ancillary spaces with Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, or Gwinnett County local preference. Most opportunities are ITB or RFQ; contracts typically run one to two years with optional renewals contingent on performance and funding.
