NIGP 80178: Signs, Janitorial (Wet Floor, Hazardous Spill, etc.)

NIGP 80178 Signs, Janitorial (Wet Floor, Hazardous Spill, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses interior and exterior identification signage, wayfinding and directional signs, regulatory and safety signs, monument and marquee signs, LED and electronic message signs, and ADA-compliant specialty signage that state and local governments procure for facility identification, parks, public events, and emergency communication. County procurement offices, city governments, and school districts solicit under this code through a mix of standing-pool qualifications-based contracts, individual RFPs for marquee sign installation, and as-needed ITB vehicle agreements structured to enable rotation among pre-qualified vendors or single-award arrangements depending on project scope and value thresholds.
