NIGP 28576: Street and Highway Lighting Luminaires, Accessories and Parts

NIGP 28576 Street and Highway Lighting Luminaires, Accessories and Parts is an Item code describing the acquisition of LED and traditional lighting fixtures, poles, components, and related infrastructure for roadway, street, and traffic signal illumination. State and local governments are actively procuring complete luminaire systems (including heads, drivers, and ballasts), pole assemblies with decorative bases, control systems, specialized components such as transformer bases and arm masts, and maintenance services across arterial, collector, and residential roadway classifications.

The issuing bodies span state departments of transportation (California, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri), county governments (Brevard County Florida; Salt Lake County Utah; Broward County Florida; Howard County Maryland; Cameron County Texas), municipal utilities and public works departments (Phoenix, Palo Alto, Meriden, Lewisville, Austin, Douglasville, Ashland, Bartow, Marietta, Brownsville), transit authorities (Trinity Metro in Tarrant County Texas), special districts (Orlando Utilities Commission), and school systems (Northside Independent School District). Recent activity concentrates in California (Caltrans has issued multiple SB Minor B competitive procurements for signal detection replacement, safety lighting and signing installations, and overhead sign panel replacement), Florida (Brevard County sole source for public safety tower lighting; Collier County roadway sign repair on FEMA funding; Broward County roadway and capacity expansion work; City of Bartow CDBG-funded field lighting), Maryland (MDOT SHA highway street lighting maintenance and replacement at multiple county interchanges), and Texas (Cameron County and City of Brownsville traffic signal synchronization projects). Federal or federally-supported projects (Carbon Reduction Program, CDBG, FEMA Public Assistance, HSIP) represent a substantial portion of recent activity. Representative recent solicitations include Caltrans SB Minor B contract 12A2403 (Orange County safety lighting, signing, and striping, estimated cost $248,840, small-business set-aside, bids due August 25, 2026); Missouri Department of Transportation Southwest District IFB 300000275919064 (high-mast LED luminaires, estimated one unit each of two configurations, as-needed basis, bids due September 22, 2026); City of Phoenix RFP GGS260220 (streetlight maintenance services across municipal jurisdiction, five-year term with two one-year options, proposals due June 30, 2026); Salt Lake County RFC SLCo PWO132490 (streetlight fixture supply including pole assemblies, decorative bases, and LED photocells, approximately $500,000 annual purchase, six-year non-exclusive contract, bids due July 30, 2026); and Broward County TRN2132157B1 (miscellaneous roadway construction on open-end indefinite-quantity contract with 25 percent County Business Enterprise goal, including street lighting infrastructure, proposals due June 30, 2026). Sole source procurements and manufacturer-specific competitive notices (Brevard County for Unimar components; City of Ashland for Sternberg LED heads) also appear in recent cycles. Activity skews toward maintenance, repair, and component replacement work on existing infrastructure rather than large-scale new installation projects, though capacity-expansion and signal-modernization work incorporating lighting upgrades is active in high-growth corridors in Texas and Florida.
