NIGP 55024: Highway Pass and No-Pass Zone Determination Devices and Equipment

NIGP 55024 Highway Pass And No-Pass Zone Determination Devices And Equipment, an Item code, describes equipment and devices used to manage traffic flow and access control on expressways and controlled roadways, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus primarily on the physical infrastructure components that work in concert with such systems — specifically guardrails, safety barriers, crash cushions, and traffic control markings that define no-pass zones and manage vehicle movement on limited-access facilities. State and local governments procure under this code the materials, installation labor, and associated work to replace and upgrade roadway safety infrastructure that controls and restricts traffic patterns on expressways and high-speed corridors. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county transportation and public works departments responsible for maintenance and improvement of major regional roadways.

Santa Clara County, California posted an ITB (Solicitation Number ITBRDAFY260652) on March 25, 2026 for Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements, with sealed bids due April 23, 2026. The work involves removal and replacement of existing guardrails, dikes, curb and gutter, concrete islands, and crash cushions, followed by installation of new safety barriers, HMA paving, thermoplastic traffic striping, and related infrastructure with a 45 working day completion window. A mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for April 14, 2026 at the County Government Center in San Jose. Recent activity under this code remains limited to the California jurisdiction represented in the posted opportunity block.
