NIGP 96880: Traffic Sign Installation and/or Removal Services

NIGP 96880 Traffic Sign Installation And/Or Removal Services, an Item code, encompasses the physical placement, adjustment, and takedown of roadway signage — including wayfinding, gateway, warning, regulatory, and temporary traffic-control signs — at state-owned facilities, county rights-of-way, municipal streets, and special venues. State and local governments are actively procuring sign installation labor and related services across cities, counties, state departments of transportation, school districts, and special-purpose agencies. The work ranges from routine street-sign replacement and storage-and-installation coordination to specialized gateway-sign fabrication and LED-lit entrance markers, traffic signal integration during intersection modernization, and event-based barricade and traffic-control deployment. Recent solicitations show a mix of scope types: comprehensive sign fabrication with installation (including material supply and design work), labor-only installation of pre-fabricated signage, sign removal and replacement, temporary sign deployment for special events, and maintenance or updates to existing sign infrastructure.

Issuers under this code include state departments of transportation (Florida DOT, Caltrans, Georgia DOT), county boards of commissioners, cities (Atlanta, Long Beach, Dallas, San Antonio, Gainesville, Douglasville, Hutto), school districts (Salt Lake City), and regional agencies (Orange County Parks, Pasco County, Gwinnett County). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (FDOT Region 1 and 2 logo-sign programs, Pasco County, Hillsborough County, City of Gainesville), Georgia (Douglas County, Gwinnett County, Bartow County, Columbia County, Atlanta, Calhoun), California (Caltrans sign installations, Orange County, Long Beach), and Texas (Dallas, San Antonio, Brownsville, Hutto). Recent representative opportunities include the Salt Lake City School District's IFB TB2721-RPS for removal and installation of ADA-compliant room signage at Rose Park Elementary (bids due November 3, 2026), the City of Douglasville's intersection-improvement RFBs incorporating mast-arm traffic signal infrastructure with video detection and pedestrian signals (bids due October 26, 2026), the Ybor City Community Redevelopment Agency's storage-and-installation services for street signs within CRA districts (bids due October 15, 2026 with an SLBE 5% discount), and Caltrans' SB Minor B contracts for curve-warning sign installation on State Routes 26 and 49 in Amador and Calaveras Counties (bids due September 8–9, 2026, restricted to certified small businesses). Traffic signal modernization projects frequently bundle sign work with electrical, conduit, and control-system installation, and event-based work (Atlanta Streets Alive barricade deployment) commands recurring contract structures with performance standards tied to street-closure timing and pedestrian safety.
