Electronic Marquee Sign with Installation

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking competitive bids for a procurement opportunity involving electronic marquee signage and installation services. Specifically, the contract solicits bids for Daktronics Brand GS6 Series 15.85 mm Full-Color Message Displays, with comprehensive installation requirements including sign base, posts, and Smokey Bear branding elements. The initial procurement will focus on installing one sign in Minocqua, Wisconsin, with the potential for subsequent purchases under a multi-year contract structure. The solicitation is structured as a one-year contract with options for two additional one-year renewals, providing potential long-term vendor engagement. The bid documents were posted on June 3, 2025, with proposals due by June 10, 2025, creating a relatively short response window for interested vendors. Prospective bidders will need to demonstrate technical capability to provide and install specialized electronic signage meeting the DNR's specific brand and technical specifications.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the contract opportunity, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and installation specifications. The contract opportunity is geographically focused within Wisconsin, potentially favoring local or regional contractors with experience in governmental signage installations. The initial purchase involves a single sign installation, suggesting a modest initial contract value, though the multi-year renewal options indicate potential for expanded future procurement. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and no specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure are detailed in the available documentation. Interested vendors should carefully review the complete bid specifications to ensure compliance with the DNR's technical requirements for the electronic marquee sign and its installation, particularly the specific Daktronics GS6 Series 15.85 mm Full-Color Message Display specifications and Smokey Bear branding elements.
