Roll-Up Sign Materials and Stands - QPL Notice

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is conducting a presolicitation process to establish a Maintenance Qualified Products List (QPL) for roll-up sign sheet materials and roll-up sign stands. This initiative, conducted under N.D.A.C. § 4-12-06-04, is a qualification phase rather than a direct award. Interested suppliers must submit detailed product specifications and a completed Maintenance QPL Approval - Field Test Vendor Agreement (SFN 59659) via email to Barry Kinnischtzke by November 6, 2026. Products that pass an initial specifications review may be required for field testing and evaluation by NDDOT maintenance crews, with physical samples delivered by November 13, 2026. NDDOT reserves the right to waive field testing if approval can be granted through other means, such as out-of-state inspections or the grandfathering of successor products. Following the evaluation period in November 2026, the state will issue a competitive bid on December 1, 2026, which will include the approved products from the established QPL.
