The state of Iowa, through Iowa State (Prison) Industries, is seeking bids for the procurement of various sizes of square sign posts for Jones County. The required specifications include 12 or 14 gauge square steel tubing that must be designated as "Crashworthy" per NCHRP Report 350 standards and have a Federal Acceptance Letter.
