NIGP 80156: Signs, American Disability Act (ADA)

NIGP 80156 Signs, American Disability Act (ADA), an Item code, encompasses wayfinding signage, directional markers, and accessibility-related sign systems that state and local governments install to guide the public through facilities, parks, and pedestrian corridors while meeting ADA compliance standards. Recent solicitations reveal state and local buyers purchasing design, fabrication, and installation of wayfinding signs for multi-jurisdictional trail systems, campus facilities, cultural parks, and bus stop improvements; directional and gate instruction signage; and detectable warning systems integrated into broader pedestrian infrastructure projects. Issuing bodies include cities, counties, and transit authorities. The City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado; Gwinnett County, Georgia; Pinellas County, Florida; Mason County, Texas; and Pasco County, Florida have all solicited wayfinding or ADA-compliant signage in recent months. Many of these projects bundle signage procurement with broader pedestrian safety or accessibility initiatives rather than standing alone, and several carry prevailing wage, labor compliance, or set-aside requirements tied to federal or state funding. Pinellas County offers small business enterprise price preference on its Pinewood Cultural Park signage procurement, and Pasco County's Moon Lake bus stop project incorporates federal DBE participation goals at 10.67 percent statewide.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Colorado, Georgia, Texas, and California, with scattered municipal and county activity elsewhere. Representative opportunities include the City of Wheat Ridge's Clear Creek Trail wayfinding signage procurement (RFP, due July 30, 2026) for approximately 6 to 9 large double-sided signs, 33 trail confirmation signs, and related directional markers across a 65-mile multi-use trail spanning four counties and eleven cities, with 80 percent Colorado labor compliance required; Gwinnett County's Campus Wayfinding Signage project (sealed-bid, due May 13, 2026) for approximately 20 post-and-panel traffic wayfinding signs at the Justice and Administration Center; and Pinellas County's Pinewood Cultural Park signage procurement (ITQ, due April 16, 2026) for 52 distinct exterior wayfinding and gate instruction signs with ADA compliance and SBE preference. Pasco County's Moon Lake ADA Accessibility Bus Stops construction (IFB, due May 19, 2026) includes installation of 11 connected and 5 isolated bus pads at $330,000 base contract value with federal DBE goals and prevailing wage requirements.
