NIGP 80120: Letters and Numerals, Sign (to Include Logos)

NIGP 80120 Letters And Numerals, Sign (To Include Logos) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure custom signage fabrication, installation, and design services — ranging from interior wayfinding and directional signs to large-format gateway signage with structural engineering, illumination, and site-specific permitting. Recent solicitations show city and county transportation departments, courthouse facilities, airport authorities, universities, and newly formed municipalities buying detailed custom sign work: the City of Douglasville specified an engineered 18-foot-9-inch by 3-foot illuminated gateway sign with internally and externally lit aluminum cabinets, channel lettering, and faux-masonry cladding along State Route 92, requiring 75 percent in-house fabrication and full structural wind-load analysis; Broward County sought 257 interior courthouse signs across seven types with ADA-compliant Braille, specific mounting heights, and TakeForm Fusion 01 or approved-equal manufacturing; and Gwinnett County issued an RFP for digital signage, scoreboards, video walls, and LED displays. The issuing-body mix spans county governments (Broward County, Gwinnett County, Mason County in Texas, Santa Clara County, Lee County Port Authority), municipal streets and transportation departments (City of Temple for traffic control signage, City of Douglasville), airport authorities, state universities (Georgia State University), and newly incorporated cities (City of Mableton's brand identity and seal development).
