NIGP 55080: Traffic Controls and Equipment, Electric Systems

NIGP 55080 Traffic Controls and Equipment, Electric Systems is an Item code under which state and local governments procure LED pedestrian countdown signals, red-light camera enforcement systems, traffic signal controllers and cabinets, detection and synchronization equipment, and related electrical infrastructure for intersection safety and traffic management. Recent opportunities span Texas pedestrian signal procurement (State of Texas, IFB, July 2026), comprehensive red-light camera system design and operation (City of Orlando, RFP, September 2026 response), traffic signal replacements and upgrades (City of Olathe Kansas, City of Stockbridge Georgia, multiple ITBs, July–August 2026), and advanced traffic detection systems for signal modernization (Cameron County Texas, City of Brownsville Texas, multiple procurements, May–July 2026). Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, county commissions and engineering departments, municipal public works and traffic engineering divisions, and transit authorities, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity. Work under the code ranges from discrete equipment supply (LED modules, controllers, pedestrian signals) to full-system design-build-operate contracts spanning hardware procurement, installation, software integration, maintenance, and multi-year operational support, often funded through federal infrastructure programs or local transportation improvement bonds and surtax revenues.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Colorado, with activity also present in Kansas, Arizona, California, Kentucky, Utah, and other states. Representative recent solicitations include the State of Texas purchasing 320 LEOTEK LED pedestrian countdown signal units (July 2026 IFB), the City of Orlando seeking a five-year red-light camera system covering 80 intersections with 4K video, permit management, and 24/7 operational support (RFP, September 2026 close), Okaloosa County Florida procuring 124 line items of traffic control devices and pavement markings under FDOT specification (ITB, August 2026), the City of Brownsville Texas requesting advanced traffic detection and GPS-synchronized signal cabinet installation at 33 intersections (IFB, May 2026), and Gwinnett County Georgia issuing an RFP for automated speed detection with ALPR technology across 18 school zones (RFP, May 2026 close, revenue-share model). Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction; federal funding triggers Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and Buy America or Build America Buy America Act compliance; some procurements include SBE, MBE, WBE, or HUB subcontracting goals (e.g., 30–35% CBE participation in Broward County and City of Brownsville contracts). Response activity remains strong across all notice types, indicating sustained procurement velocity in traffic electrification, safety modernization, and ITS deployment.
