UNSPSC 55121726: Identification panels

UNSPSC 55121726 Identification panels (Commodity) encompasses wayfinding signs, monument signs, building identification signage, directional signage, regulatory signs, and interior room identification systems that state and local governments install across campuses, county facilities, airports, parks, and municipal properties. Recent solicitations show governments procuring complete sign packages including design, fabrication, delivery, and installation; manufacturers and contractors provide reflective sheeting, aluminum blanks, LED displays, acrylic lettering, masonry bases, and ADA-compliant components. State and local issuing bodies span universities (Black Hills State University, Georgia State University, University of Southern Mississippi), county governments (Collier County, Pinellas County, Broward County, Walton County, Sarasota County, Lee County), cities (Ocala, Clearwater, Dunwoody, Philadelphia, Long Beach, Altamonte Springs), airport authorities (Melbourne Airport Authority, Southwest Florida International Airport), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Sarasota County schools), and special districts (Escambia County Parks, Mason County Texas). Work ranges from simple single-sign replacements valued under $20,000 to large campus or facility-wide wayfinding systems encompassing dozens of locations.

Activity concentrates in Florida, with recent opportunities from Collier County (IFQ for county-wide pool of sign contractors, November 2026 response), Pinellas County (ITQ for traffic sign fabrication, October 2026), Walton County (RFQ for entrance monument signs, October 2026 response), Broward County (interior signage for courthouse and public safety building, June–September 2026 responses), Lee County Port Authority (overpass sign replacement at Southwest Florida International Airport, June 2026), and Sarasota County (wayfinding signs in Englewood, September 2026). Outside Florida, Black Hills State University in South Dakota (RFP for campus wayfinding and signage, October 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (RFP for marquee sign installation, September 2026), Melbourne Airport Authority in Florida (ITB for terminal monument entrance sign, May 2026), and City of Dunwoody in Georgia (trailway wayfinding signs, July 2026) represent recent activity. Evaluation criteria typically emphasize workmanship quality, adherence to branding and accessibility standards, contractor experience with similar institution types, cost competitiveness, and local or small-business participation. Bonding (5–100 percent performance and payment bonds) and insurance (general liability from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence) are standard. Most contracts run one to three years with optional renewals; pricing is firm or escalates annually using Consumer Price Index or Producer Price Index adjustments.
