NIGP 55030: Markers, Traffic, Ceramic: Jiggle Bars, etc.

NIGP 55030 Markers, Traffic, Ceramic: Jiggle Bars, Etc., is an Item code covering high-impact plastic and raised pavement marker (RPM) products with UV-resistant, reflective, and thermoplastic properties that state and local governments procure for roadway delineation, utility notification, and traffic control applications. Recent solicitations show active procurement of 2.5-inch reflective traffic markers customized for underground utility notification (State of Texas, July 2026), bi-directional yellow Type IAR raised pavement markers for county roads (Marion County and an unnamed Oregon county, April–July 2026), and generalized traffic marker supplies on annual agreements (City of Temple, estimated $50,000 annual value, July 2026). Work is solicited by state transportation departments, county road maintenance divisions, and city public works and streets departments across a mix of standalone marker procurements and bundled traffic-control-and-pavement-marking maintenance contracts.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Florida, Oregon, California, and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Georgia and Arizona. Recent representative opportunities include the State of Texas issuing ITB INF20260250 for custom Duracast-style 2.5-inch blue traffic markers with reflective "CALL BEFORE YOU DIG" imprinting (due July 17, 2026); Okaloosa County, Florida posting ITB PW 68-26 for maintenance of traffic and pavement markings covering 124 line items including raised markers and thermoplastic products (due August 5, 2026); Marion County, Oregon soliciting ITB PW1783-26 and a second ITB for installation of 120 mil profiled thermoplastic longitudinal markings and bi-directional yellow RPMs (due April 7 and April 30, 2026); and the City of Temple, Texas issuing annual ITB for sign and traffic control supplies (estimated $50,000, due July 23, 2026). Most opportunities are ITBs with response cycles of 10–30 days, reflecting straightforward goods procurement rather than complex service scopes.
