NIGP 83269: Tape, Sign

NIGP 83269 Tape, Sign is an Item code encompassing the design, fabrication, installation, repair, and removal of interior and exterior signage for state and local government facilities and infrastructure. Procurement under this code covers a broad range of sign types—building identification, directional and wayfinding, regulatory and safety, monument, marquee, LED and electronic message, park and facility, ADA-compliant, and interpretive specialty signage—as well as related materials such as fabricated steel signposts and anchors meeting specific structural and coating standards. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city procurement offices, and parks and recreation divisions. Counties and municipal governments are the primary buyers, often seeking pre-qualified pools of contractors for flexible project assignment rather than single-award vehicles, with work scoped to include labor, materials, permitting, inspections, site restoration, and warranty coverage.

Collier County, Florida and the City of Detroit, Michigan have posted recent opportunities under this code. Collier County's Invitation for Qualifications (IFQ 268684), due November 6, 2026, seeks a pre-qualified contractor pool for county signage services with a two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals; evaluation emphasizes firm experience and capacity (45 points), specialized expertise (35 points), and local contractor preference (10 points), with WBE/MBE certification valued at 5 points. Detroit's RFQ 551249, due October 16, 2026, requests square tube steel signposts and anchors meeting ASTM A-570 and A-525 standards, with annual volumes of approximately 1,500 units each and a one-year contract term with potential renewal subject to City Council approval. Both opportunities reflect active procurement across the Southeast and Midwest, with Collier County emphasizing design and installation services across multiple sign categories and Detroit focused on manufactured commodity supply.
