NIGP 80112: Brackets and Holders, Sign

NIGP 80112 Brackets and Holders, Sign is an Item code covering steel signposts, anchor bolts, base plates, drive caps, aluminum sign blanks, and related structural components that state and local governments procure for traffic control, wayfinding, and regulatory signage infrastructure. Recent solicitations show cities and counties buying finished signposts in standard gauges and dimensions (1" × 1" square tube, 2 3/8" × 11' posts, telespar posts ranging 2 to 4 inches diameter), fastening hardware (5/8" × 3" expansion anchors, hex-nut bolts), mounting components (10-inch square base plates, drive caps, slip bases, barrier brackets), and aluminum blanks for custom sign fabrication, often with material-specific finishes including hot-dipped galvanized, phosphate-coated, powder-coated, and electrodeposited paint. Issuing bodies include city public works and streets departments (Detroit, South Jordan, Temple), county transportation and public services divisions (Hillsborough, Pasco, Santa Clara, Mason County), and state-level authorities (Kansas Turnpike Authority), with Detroit appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple RFQs for signpost hardware and fabricated posts.

Geographic activity spans Michigan, Utah, Florida, Texas, Kansas, Georgia, and California, with recent volume concentrated in the Midwest and South. Representative opportunities include the City of Detroit RFQ 551249 (October 16, 2026 response deadline) for 1,500 square-tube steel signposts and 1,500 anchor posts with 36-month outdoor weathering test data and seven-year warranty; the City of South Jordan IFB #2026-029 (September 28, 2026) for 370 satin-black powder-coated 2 3/8" × 11' posts; Hillsborough County ITB-26-00352 (August 13, 2026, $3.452 million estimated value over three years) for aluminum blanks, signposts, and prefabricated sign panels with multiple hole configurations; and the Kansas Turnpike Authority RFQ 8216-T (May 25, 2026) for telespar posts and associated hardware across two delivery locations. Detroit-based business certification is a mandatory eligibility requirement on some RFQs, and Executive Order workforce composition thresholds (50 percent Detroit residents, 25 percent minorities, 5 percent women) apply to specific procurements. Contract terms typically run one to three years with as-needed or blanket purchase order structures; pricing remains firm for ninety days to one year post-award.
