NIGP 55014: Early Warning System, Engine Powered, Trailer Mounted (Or for Truck Mounting)

NIGP 55014 Early Warning System, Engine Powered, Trailer Mounted (Or For Truck Mounting) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure vehicle-mounted programmable message signs and traffic management display systems for real-time information dissemination and emergency signaling. Recent solicitations show procurement offices buying LED-based traffic signage units equipped with changeable message capability, ranging from two-line to full-matrix displays, sized for truck bed or trailer mounting with powered raising, lowering, and tilting mechanisms operable from the vehicle cab. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments (notably the Texas Department of Transportation across multiple districts) and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority). These procurement offices source signage systems to support traffic management, incident notification, and dynamic messaging on roadways and at transit facilities.

Texas represents the primary geographic concentration of recent activity under the code, with TxDOT posting multiple IFBs for vehicle-mounted programmable message signs in the Pharr and El Paso districts, and DART posting a separate equipment evaluation solicitation in the Dallas area. Representative recent opportunities include TxDOT's IFB 601320000070101, posted June 17, 2026, for three vehicle-mounted programmable message signs with three-line or full-matrix LED displays (71 to 90 inches in length, 32 to 50 inches in height, maximum 260 pounds) to be delivered to the Pharr District Office, with responses due March 24, 2026; TxDOT's solicitation 601340000064163, posted May 22, 2026, for two-line truck-mounted message boards with swivel mounts for the El Paso District, with bids due April 28, 2026; and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's RFQ REQ2100471 for a Siemens Trip Stop System evaluation unit, with responses due October 9, 2026. All three solicitations emphasized FOB Destination pricing, timely delivery as a material requirement, and vendor registration through state procurement portals.
