NIGP 80186: Signs, Miscellaneous (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 80186 Signs, Miscellaneous (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, covers the fabrication, installation, repair, and replacement of interior and exterior identification signage that does not fit specialized categories — including wayfinding and directional signs, monument and gateway signs, marquee signs, regulatory and safety signage, LED and electronic message displays, and miscellaneous custom signage. State and local governments soliciting under this code range from universities and school districts to county and municipal departments, airport authorities, and special-purpose districts. Recent activity shows a mix of campus-scale projects, county infrastructure programs, and facility-specific installations spanning educational institutions, transportation facilities, parks and recreation departments, and municipal administrative buildings. The issuing bodies include both large counties running ongoing sign fabrication contracts and smaller municipalities and institutions managing discrete projects, with no dominant repeat buyer across the recent record.

Geographic spread encompasses Florida (Pinellas County, Broward County, Collier County, Sarasota County, Lee County, Ocala, Clearwater, and Melbourne Airport Authority), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Dunwoody, Georgia State University, Augusta Technical College), Texas (Walton County, Mason County, University of Southern Mississippi, Texas General Land Office), California (Long Beach), Arizona (Peoria), Mississippi, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and other jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include Black Hills State University seeking fabrication and installation of a campus wayfinding and signage system under RFP #26RFP19977 with proposals due October 22, 2026; Collier County soliciting a pre-qualified pool of signage contractors through an Invitation for Qualifications (due November 6, 2026) to handle interior, exterior, LED, and specialty signage on an as-needed basis; Pinellas County requesting sign fabrication services for county roadways and waterways under an ITQ due October 6, 2026, with an estimated 12-month contract value covering reflective sheeting and aluminum blanks; and Melbourne Airport Authority issuing an ITB for a terminal monument entrance sign with LED displays and concrete foundation specifications (bids due May 7, 2026, with addenda issued through March 4, 2026). Other active solicitations cover marquee sign installation at school districts, interior signage for courthouses and public safety buildings, monument signs at water treatment plants and industrial parks, and outdoor sporting infrastructure such as hockey dasher boards and scoreboards. Contract structures range from single-project RFPs and fixed-price IBs to multi-year blanket agreements with as-needed purchase orders, cooperative pools, and requirements contracts; several Florida jurisdictions issued sign fabrication contracts under ITQ or ITB with SBE or local-vendor preferences. Award values where disclosed range from $10,000–$15,000 for small monument signs to $3.452 million for a three-year roadway sign supply contract.
