NIGP 55033: Markers, Traffic, Fiberglass

NIGP 55033 Markers, Traffic, Fiberglass is an Item code that encompasses traffic control marking materials and equipment—raised pavement markers, pavement striping, signal components, barricades, warning lights, and related hardware—that state and local road authorities, municipalities, and transit agencies procure to maintain and upgrade roadway safety infrastructure. Recent solicitations show demand spanning thermoplastic and profiled longitudinal markings, bi-directional yellow raised pavement markers, traffic signal LED replacements, temporary traffic control devices, and ancillary safety equipment such as cones, signs, and barriers. The issuing bodies are predominantly county public works departments and city transportation/streets departments, with one transit-focused procurement from Dallas and specialized requests from school districts and special-purpose districts less evident in recent activity. Okaloosa County, Florida; Marion County, Oregon; and the City of Madison, Wisconsin appear as repeat buyers seeking both consumables and permanent installations.

Recent solicitations span Florida, Oregon, California, Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with the highest concentration in Oregon (multiple pavement marking and resurfacing projects) and Florida (traffic signal and marking maintenance). Representative recent opportunities include Okaloosa County's ITB for maintenance of traffic and pavement markings (due August 5, 2026) covering 124 line items of temporary control devices, thermoplastic markings, and raised markers with FDOT prequalification required; Marion County's ITB for longitudinal pavement markings on multiple roads (due April 30, 2026) specifying 120 mil profiled thermoplastic and bi-directional yellow raised markers; the City of Temple's ITB for annual sign and traffic control supplies (due July 23, 2026, estimated $50,000 annual value); and the City of Madison's RFB for 12-inch traffic signal LED replacements (due May 22, 2026, 383 complete units WisDOT certified). Prevailing wage, FDOT or state DOT specification compliance, and proof of business licensing and insurance are standard requirements. Cooperative purchasing arrangements appear in at least one procurement (City of Brownsville bore and trenching on-call services), and local vendor preferences are available in Madison and Thousand Oaks procurements.
