SJSU Signage & Banner Production and Installation

San Jose State University (SJSU) is seeking vendors for a comprehensive signage production and installation contract through a formal solicitation posted on November 4, 2025, with proposals due by November 19, 2025. The procurement aims to secure up to five contractors capable of producing and installing university facility signage in full compliance with institutional standards and applicable building codes. Preferred vendors will offer an integrated, single-source solution covering both signage production and installation. The university's objective is to establish multi-year agreements with a three-year base term and potential two one-year extensions. Proposers must submit their complete proposals through CSUBUY, the California State University public bid portal, accessible at https://bids.sciquest.com/apps/Router/PublicEvent?CustomerOrg=CalState. Potential contractors should demonstrate technical expertise in signage design, production capabilities, installation proficiency, and familiarity with university infrastructure requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for specific enterprise types. The contract encompasses Santa Clara County and Santa Clara City jurisdictions, with a total anticipated expenditure of $1,500,000.00 per agreement. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the university appears to be seeking multiple vendors to ensure comprehensive coverage and competitive pricing. The substantial contract value suggests an expectation of significant signage requirements across SJSU facilities. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical competence, regulatory compliance, and the ability to meet the university's aesthetic and functional standards for campus signage. The procurement approach of multiple awards indicates the university's strategy to maintain flexibility and ensure reliable service through a diverse vendor pool.
