UNSPSC 55121716: Wooden signs

UNSPSC 55121716 Wooden signs, a Commodity code, encompasses the design, fabrication, installation, repair, replacement, and removal of interior and exterior identification signage, directional and wayfinding signs, regulatory and safety signs, monument signs, marquee signs, LED and electronic message signs, park and facility signage, ADA-compliant signage, and interpretive specialty signage. State and local governments procure these services across county parks departments, school districts, city recreation divisions, and special districts, often bundling multiple sign types into standing contractor pools to enable flexible project assignment and competitive bidding on individual work orders. The issuing bodies span county governments (Collier County, Pasco County, Sarasota County), municipal governments (City of Altamonte Springs), independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and state-level corrections facilities (Rhode Island Department of Corrections). Evaluation criteria typically weight firm experience and capacity, specialized expertise of team members, and cost; many jurisdictions offer bonus points for Woman and/or Minority Business Enterprise certification and utilization of registered small business enterprises. Contractors must hold appropriate state contractor licenses (Florida General or Specialty Contractor License for Signs where applicable), maintain current business tax receipts, comply with E-Verify enrollment, carry commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance with named-insured requirements, and provide one-year product warranties or longer where specified.
