Bids must be submitted electronically through the Alabama Buys Portal, and the award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting specifications.

The sign features either the words "Alabama Board of Nursing" with the supplied ABN logo or the logo alone, subject to ABN design approval. Required scope includes design proofs or mockups, ABN coordination for final approval, fabrication, secure mounting, delivery, cleanup, and maintenance information. The specification calls for a non-illuminated, brushed aluminum or brushed stainless-steel sign of approximately 30–36 inches wide by 10–12 inches tall at 1/4-inch thickness, though bidders may propose proportionate dimensions for the 9-foot-wide wall. Place of performance is 1900 International Park Drive, Suite 100, Birmingham, Alabama, in Jefferson County. No mandatory site visit applies.

Bidders submit one total, all-inclusive fixed lump-sum price covering design, fabrication, delivery, installation, hardware, and all associated charges. The supplier must protect agency property, including the reception desk, flooring, walls, furnishings, and personnel, and repair or reimburse any damage. No work may begin before an approved purchase order and ABN scheduling authorization. Suppliers must provide all labor, tools, materials, access equipment, and transportation, and comply with applicable laws, building codes, and safety requirements.
