NIGP 28580: Street Light Poles and Standards

NIGP 28580 Street Light Poles and Standards is an Item code under which state and local governments procure steel, concrete, and decorative poles for streetlighting, traffic signal support, and utility infrastructure. Recent solicitations show procurement bodies buying finished poles in specific heights and materials—concrete 25-foot poles from Palm Beach County; steel reinforcement cages with anchor bolts for signal foundations from Texas Department of Transportation; 10-foot decorative steel poles with cast-iron or aluminum bases from Tampa; and LED fixture support structures from multiple jurisdictions. The issuing bodies span county governments, municipalities, municipal utilities, independent school districts, and transit-adjacent agencies. Palm Beach County, Tampa, and Texas DOT appear repeatedly in the recent record. The code captures both equipment procurement (poles themselves) and labor-intensive services (pole replacement, installation, conversion projects, and maintenance).

Activity concentrates in Florida (Palm Beach County, Tampa, Key West, Orlando, Escambia County, Bartow, and Marietta–adjacent Georgia), Texas (DOT, Brownsville, Lewisville, Tucson, and school districts), and scattered other jurisdictions nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include Palm Beach County's RFQ for two-tier 25-foot concrete poles with SBE consideration and local preference (due October 29, 2026); Texas Department of Transportation's ITB for twenty-four 24-inch reinforcement cages with anchor bolts supporting traffic signal poles (due October 20, 2026); City of Tampa's RFQ for 10-foot Visco poles in matte black powder coat (due September 22, 2026); Keys Energy Services' RFP for secondary easement pole replacement and service-drop relocation on a fixed price-per-pole basis with 151 poles and 145 service drops (proposals due October 23, 2026); and Escambia County's ITB for preventive and responsive maintenance of street and navigation lights including labor rates and equipment rental on a thirty-six-month term with two renewal options (due May 27, 2026). These range from material-only purchases to turnkey design-build light pole replacement projects with LED upgrades and installation labor.
