About this file
This is a Qualified Products List (QPL) Notice issued by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) Maintenance Division inviting vendors to submit products for field testing and evaluation. The purchasing agency seeks to establish an approved list of roll-up sign sheet materials and roll-up sign stands that meet NDDOT specifications and performance standards. Interested parties must submit the completed Maintenance QPL Approval - Field Test Vendor Agreement (SFN 59659) along with detailed product specifications by the deadline of November 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM Central Time to the procurement officer, Jalen Sprecher, at jsprecher@nd.gov. Vendors must also deliver physical samples of their roll-up sign sheet materials and stands to NDDOT by November 13, 2026, for field testing and evaluation. The tentative schedule includes specification review in November 2026, completion of field testing, and issuance of a competitive bid on December 1, 2026, that will include all approved products. NDDOT reserves the right to waive field-testing requirements in certain circumstances, such as for updated model designations or products previously tested by other entities.
No pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, or incumbent information is specified in this QPL Notice. The approval process follows North Dakota Administrative Code 4-12-06-04, and vendors submitting after the specified deadline may not receive approval before the anticipated bidding process. All product submissions should be sent via email to Barry Kinnischtzke, NDDOT Maintenance Division, at bkinnischtzke@nd.gov, with questions directed to the procurement officer listed above.

You are invited to participate in this invitation to qualify products to be listed on the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) Maintenance Qualified Products List.
Background: The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) has a Maintenance Qualified Products Approval process in place by which potential bidders may submit products for field testing and evaluation. Upon approval by NDDOT, the product is placed on an Approved Maintenance Qualified Products List. NDDOT has established this Approved Maintenance Qualified Products List (QPL), in accordance with N.D.A.C. § 4-12-06-04. In some circumstances, equipment may become approved without field testing as outlined in SFN 59659.
Intent to Participate: Interested parties must submit the required form and specifications for products being submitted for field testing and evaluation and possible inclusion on the QPL.
For more information and required forms to submit products for field testing and evaluation, visit the NDDOT Maintenance Qualified Products webpage to complete the steps necessary to submit a product to the QPL. The information can be found under the Non-construction Bid Opportunities here: QPL Resources
1. Interested parties must complete and submit the MAINTENANCE QPL APPROVAL - FIELD TEST VENDOR AGREEMENT, SFN 59659. This form describes the field testing, evaluation, approval requirements and procedures.
2. Specifications: NDDOT requires detailed specifications for each product being submitted for field testing and evaluation. If the product specifications appear to meet NDDOT specifications upon initial review, interested parties will be asked to furnish the product for field testing and evaluation by NDDOT maintenance crews.
3. Field Testing: NDDOT reserves the right to waive the field-testing requirement if an adequate evaluation can be made to grant approval. Justification for approval without field testing can include but is not limited to updated model designation - in which a successor product model or name in good standing on quality and performance replaces an obsolete product model or name no longer in production (grand-fathering), out of state inspections by NDDOT of products in use by another entity, or term rental/leasing of products resulting in adequate field testing to evaluate a grant of approval. Waiver of the field-testing requirement is at the sole discretion of the NDDOT.
