UNSPSC 55121735: Temporary sign

temporary signs

UNSPSC 55121735 Temporary sign, a Commodity code, encompasses the purchase and installation of signage across state and local jurisdictions—from wayfinding and directional signs to monument entrance signs, facility identification, and specialized applications such as stadium branding and transit station graphics. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities procuring custom-fabricated aluminum, vinyl, and composite signage for parks, transportation facilities, courthouse interiors, cultural venues, universities, and municipal campuses, with work typically bundled as design-fabrication-installation packages on fixed-price or lump-sum contracts. The issuing-body mix is broad and distributed: county governments (Escambia, Pinellas, Broward, Habersham, Gwinnett, Santa Clara, Mason, Lee, and Sarasota counties) and city administrations (Long Beach, Dunwoody, Philadelphia, Ocala) dominate recent postings, supplemented by state agencies (Georgia Department of Community Improvement, Augusta Technical College, Georgia State University, Texas General Land Office), transit authorities (Lee County Port Authority, Sarasota Breeze Transit), universities (University of Southern Mississippi, Texas State University), and airport authorities (Southwest Florida International, Melbourne Airport). A small number of repeat buyers appear—Pinellas County issued at least three distinct sign solicitations (roadway signage fabrication, wayfinding at Pinewood Cultural Park, and Lealman CRA replacement signage), and Georgia state entities (Augusta Technical College, Georgia State University, GCI) each posted separate procurements.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida (Escambia, Pinellas, Broward, Lee, Marion, Sarasota counties and cities of Long Beach, Philadelphia, and Ocala), Georgia (Gwinnett, Habersham, Henry, Elbert counties and Augusta Technical College, Georgia State University), and California (Santa Clara County, City of Long Beach), with secondary activity in Texas, Mississippi, and scattered other states. Representative recent opportunities include Escambia County Parks issuing an ITB for outdoor hockey dasher boards and rink fencing (sealed bids due July 29, 2026); Pinellas County issuing an ITQ for design, fabrication, delivery, and installation of 52 exterior wayfinding and gate instruction signs at Pinewood Cultural Park, with a proposal deadline of April 16, 2026; Broward County issuing an ITB for interior signage fabrication and installation at the North Regional Courthouse in Deerfield Beach, comprising 257 signs across seven types (bids due June 22, 2026); and Lee County Port Authority issuing an RFB for overpass signage replacement and modification at Southwest Florida International Airport, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on May 11, 2026, and sealed bids due June 2, 2026. Evaluation typically favors lowest responsive and responsible bidding; some jurisdictions (Pinellas County) extend small-business enterprise (SBE) preference on informal quotes, and federal-fund procurements (Lee County Port Authority airport work, Santa Clara County bridge-related signing) incorporate Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and DBE goals. Contract terms range from one-time installations to standing blanket purchase orders with one-year or multi-year renewal options, and pricing structures vary—some are fixed lump-sum, others unit-priced on an as-needed basis. Insurance requirements are standard across all issuers: general liability typically $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation per statutory limits, and performance bonds on larger projects.
