NIGP 55032: Markers, Traffic, Metal

NIGP 55032 Markers, Traffic, Metal is an Item code covering the supply and installation of traffic-control markers, signage, and pavement-marking materials that state and local governments procure for roadway operations, capacity projects, and safety improvements. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing temporary and permanent traffic-control devices, pavement markings (painted, thermoplastic, and preformed), raised markers, warning signs, barricades, LED signal heads, signal poles, traffic striping equipment, and guardrail components. Issuing bodies include county road and engineering departments (Okaloosa County Florida, Broward County Florida, Santa Clara County California, Marion County Florida, Pasco County Florida, Harris County Texas), city streets and traffic departments (Temple Texas, Madison Wisconsin, Dallas Texas, Tucson Arizona, Brownsville Texas), and special-purpose transit and infrastructure authorities (Atlanta BeltLine). County highway construction and engineering divisions appear as repeat buyers, particularly in Florida and California, driving much of the recent activity in this code.

Activity concentrates in Florida, California, Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with eight of the fourteen recent opportunities posted since March 2026 originating in those five states.
