NIGP 80156: Signs, American Disability Act (ADA)

NIGP 80156 Signs, American Disability Act (ADA) is an Item code covering the design, fabrication, installation, repair, and replacement of ADA-compliant signage and wayfinding systems that state and local governments procure for public facilities, transit systems, parks, trails, and municipal infrastructure. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying directional and wayfinding signs, curb ramps with integrated signage, transit amenities with associated identification, marquee signs for schools and public buildings, and specialty interpretive signage for parks and recreational areas. County governments, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities (transit agencies, park districts, state veterans homes) all source under this code. Collier County, Florida; the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico; Broward County Transportation Department; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; and Gwinnett County, Georgia appear as repeat buyers in recent postings. Work is typically procured through IFQs (Invitation for Qualifications), RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs, often establishing pre-qualified contractor pools for ongoing maintenance and new-project assignments.

Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Texas, Mississippi, and Arizona; the largest volume of recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Collier County, Broward County, Hillsborough County Public Schools, City of Altamonte Springs) and extends to county and municipal buyers nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issuing an IFQ for county signage services with proposals due November 6, 2026, establishing a two-year pool contract with three optional one-year renewals; Broward County Transportation Department issuing an ITB for ADA-compliant landing pads and transit amenities at bus stops throughout the county with bids due November 2, 2026, as an open-end three-year contract funded 70 percent by Federal Transit Administration; Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing an RFP for marquee sign installation and replacement services with proposals due September 11, 2026, structured on hourly labor rates plus material markups capped at 15 percent; and the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado soliciting proposals for wayfinding signage design, fabrication, and installation along the Clear Creek Trail corridor with bids due July 30, 2026, subject to 80 percent Colorado labor compliance. Most contracts require commercial general liability insurance of $1 million or more, state or specialty contractor licenses, E-Verify enrollment, and compliance with local, state, and federal accessibility standards.
