NIGP 21014: Bollard Post, Steel, Removable

NIGP 21014 Bollard Post, Steel, Removable is an Item code capturing procurement of removable steel bollards and related traffic control infrastructure across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments purchase these bollards for property perimeter protection, parking lot improvements, traffic management, and site security at municipal facilities, transportation departments, National Guard installations, and higher education campuses. Recent solicitations show bollards procured as standalone equipment (cast iron or steel bollards) and as components within larger construction or site improvement projects that include curbing, concrete work, fencing, gates, and embankment walls. Issuing bodies span state purchasing offices (Utah Division of Purchasing, Nevada Office of the Military, University of Georgia), county transportation departments (Broward County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (Town of Glastonbury, Town of Hilton Head Island), and state university systems. The code reflects activity driven by infrastructure renewal, parking facility upgrades, and traffic safety improvements rather than maintenance-only demand.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Florida (Broward County Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion IFB posted May 1, 2026, due June 2, 2026), California (Santa Clara County Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation ITB posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026), South Carolina (Town of Hilton Head Island On-Call Traffic Signal Maintenance RFP posted April 22, 2026, due May 21, 2026), Connecticut (Town of Glastonbury parking lot improvements IFB posted March 9, 2026, due March 31, 2026), Utah (Division of Purchasing cooperative contract for traffic channelizing devices RFP posted March 30, 2026, due May 1, 2026), Nevada (Nevada Army National Guard utility vault and sitework as-needed services RFQ posted March 2, 2026, due March 21, 2026), and Georgia (University of Georgia cast iron bollards RFQ posted February 3, 2026, due February 18, 2026). The Town of Glastonbury parking lot project specifically itemized 10 steel bollards within its broader concrete and curbing scope. Bollards appear most often bundled with other site infrastructure in larger capital projects rather than as sole-source procurements, narrowing the addressable market for vendors offering bollards without complementary construction or traffic control services.
