NIGP 44576: Steel Figures and Letters, Stamping

NIGP 44576 Steel Figures And Letters, Stamping is an Item code covering metal signage components and fabricated steel lettering used in municipal infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure steel figures and letters primarily for wayfinding, gateway signage, memorial installations, and building identification work. The Dallas Park and Recreation Department has posted two recent opportunities involving steel signage elements: a gateway sign marking the entrance to Lake Highlands that includes steel structural components and sign lettering (Solicitation CIZ26PKR3232, due September 11, 2026), and repairs to two community buildings damaged in a 2021 storm that may include signage restoration work (Solicitation CIZ26PKR3167, due October 23, 2026). Issuing bodies under this code include municipal recreation and parks departments, public works divisions, and city procurement offices.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, specifically in the Dallas area, where the Park and Recreation Department has driven the visible opportunities. The Audelia Road Gateway Signage project (Solicitation CIZ26PKR3232) solicited bids for design and installation of a gateway sign with steel structural elements, masonry, decorative stone, landscape rocks, and sign lettering, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on August 27, 2026. The Grauwyler Community Outreach Building and Big Thicket Building repair project (Solicitation CIZ26PKR3167) includes restoration work with questions due October 16, 2026 and bids due October 23, 2026 at 1:00 p.m., with mandatory site visits on October 2, 2026. Both solicitations were posted through the Bonfire Procurement Portal and managed by the Dallas Park and Recreation Department at 1500 Marilla, Room 6FS, Dallas, TX 75201.
