NIGP 05551: Lights and Lens: Directional and Turn Signal

NIGP 05551 Lights and Lens: Directional and Turn Signal, an Item code, encompasses LED lighting products, traffic signal equipment, and roadway lighting components that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, infrastructure modernization, and emergency recovery. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, transit authorities, and municipal governments purchasing LED lighting supplies on standing-supply bases, traffic signal modernization systems with advanced detection and synchronization capability, and disaster-recovery services for damaged traffic signal and roadway lighting structures. The work spans commodity supply (LED lighting inventory on as-needed basis), systems integration (traffic control cabinet upgrades with GPS time synchronization), and specialized field services (signal technician labor, equipment rental, and restoration to agency standards).

Issuing bodies include school districts (Parkwood School District in Missouri), county transportation and traffic operations divisions (Collier County, Cameron County, Pasco County in Florida; Williamson County in Texas), municipal public works departments (City of Brownsville, Texas), and transit authorities (Lee County Port Authority, Sarasota County Breeze Transit). Recent opportunities span Florida (Pasco County, Collier County, Lee County, Cameron County), Texas (Brownsville, Williamson County), and Missouri (Parkwood). Representative recent solicitations include Parkway School District IFB for LED lighting ($35,000 estimated annual spend, due July 30, 2026); City of Brownsville IFB for light synchronization deployment at 33 signalized intersections including radar detection systems, NEMA TS2 cabinets, and GPS equipment (due May 21, 2026); Collier County ITB for emergency traffic signal and roadway lighting disaster recovery services on a three-year base term with two optional one-year renewals (due April 23, 2026); and Pasco County IFB for four-pole box-span traffic signal construction with pedestrian signals and intersection lighting at State Road 56 and LaJuana Boulevard (due June 16, 2026). The code sees activity across both commodity supply contracts and large-scale infrastructure modernization projects funded through federal programs such as the Carbon Reduction Program and FAA Airport Improvement Program.
