NIGP 28555: Lighting, Area, Pole or Standard Mounted (Parking Lots, etc.)

NIGP 28555 Lighting, Area, Pole Or Standard Mounted (Parking Lots, Etc.) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure site and area lighting fixtures, poles, and associated electrical components for outdoor applications ranging from parking facilities to athletic fields to streetscapes. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties acquiring LED and traditional lighting fixtures for replacement and new installation, decorative pole-mounted lighting, specialized equipment like pedestrian and emergency blue lights, and maintenance services for existing streetlight networks. Issuing bodies span city departments (Phoenix, Tucson, Orlando, Bartow), county parks and transit authorities (Milwaukee County, Sarasota County, Tarrant County), school districts (San Antonio ISD, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, Romeo Community Schools), and specialized authorities (Canaveral Port Authority, Lee County Port Authority, Jackson State University). San Antonio ISD has posted multiple continuous, open-ended general maintenance solicitations that encompass lighting parts and repairs across district-wide facilities on an as-needed basis. Utility operators and port authorities also appear as repeat buyers—Lubbock Power & Light has issued several competitive quote requests for relay fixtures and decorative LED pedestrian lights, while the Canaveral Port Authority solicited design-build services for a 2,200-space parking garage with associated lighting infrastructure.

Geographic spread covers the South, Southwest, Midwest, and upper Midwest. Texas hosts significant recent activity, including multiple school district solicitations in San Antonio and Cibolo, as well as utility procurement in Lubbock. Florida jurisdictions (Brevard County sole-source for public safety tower lighting, City of Bartow sports field lighting, City of Orlando design-build for Grove Park Garage, Canaveral Port Authority parking garage) and Wisconsin municipalities (City of Milwaukee transformer bases, Milwaukee County parks lighting materials) also show consistent procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tucson's August 2026 IFB for traffic signal and street lighting poles (67 line items including steel poles 7 to 65 feet, mast arms, and transformer bases, estimated $400,000 annual usage, funded partly by ARPA assistance); the City of Phoenix's June 2026 sealed-offer solicitation for streetlight maintenance services across municipal jurisdiction for five years with two one-year optional extensions beginning December 1, 2026; and Brevard County's October 2026 sole-source procurement for specialized public safety tower lighting system components (flash head, cable, white driver module) from Unimar under Florida sole-source procedures. The Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD design-build for Byron P. Steele II High School light pole replacements (RFQ 26-023C, July 2026, estimated $1.6 million) and the City of Orlando Grove Park Garage design-build (RFP26-0434, August 2026, $35.75 million total project budget including lighting, parking, and digital management systems) represent larger capital projects where lighting is a scope component rather than the primary procurement.
