NIGP 80169: Signs, Fabric

NIGP 80169 Signs, Fabric is an Item code covering the fabrication and installation of custom signage for state and local government use, including reflective aluminum street-sweeping signs, digital display systems, roadway informational signage, and stadium naming signs. State and local governments procure these products through a mix of issuing bodies: county transportation departments (Santa Clara County), city public works departments (City of New Haven), county facilities management (Gwinnett County), and higher-education institutions (Texas State University). The work ranges from manufacturing standard aluminum signs with reflective material and installing them across municipal infrastructure to procuring digital signage systems with LED displays and video walls. Solicitation types include IFBs for commodity signage production, RFPs for integrated digital systems, and competitive bids for transportation projects that include signage as part of broader infrastructure work.

Recent activity concentrates in California and the Southeast, with Santa Clara County appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple infrastructure projects issued since February 2026. The City of New Haven issued IFB 2026-IFB-308 on April 17, 2026 (response due April 16, 2026) seeking fabrication and installation of approximately 2,500 post-mounted 12" x 18" reflective aluminum street sweeping signs under a one-year contract funded through American Rescue Plan Act recovery funds, with a total budget of $125,000 and a requirement for seven-year warranty coverage. Gwinnett County posted RFP-2701KM on July 8, 2026 (response due August 10, 2026) for digital signage, scoreboards, video walls, and LED displays, requiring registration in the county's Bonfirehub procurement portal to access solicitation documents and submit proposals.
