About this file

This document appears to be a set of design guidelines and examples for exterior signage to be used at various National Wildlife Refuges (NWR) and other U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) locations. The guidelines cover specifications for entrance signs, secondary signs, and welcome signs, including details on dimensions, text sizing, font usage, animal illustrations, and other design elements.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation (Solicitation Number: 140F1B24Q0005) issued by the Department of the Interior FWS for a contractor to design, fabricate, and ship approximately 960 exterior signs to multiple NWRs and FWS locations. The contractor will be responsible for providing all labor, materials, and equipment, but installation at the locations is excluded from the scope of work. The contract has a phased delivery requirement not to exceed 16 months after award.
