NIGP 55080: Traffic Controls and Equipment, Electric Systems

NIGP 55080 Traffic Controls and Equipment, Electric Systems, an Item code, covers the procurement of traffic signal components, control systems, barricading and deployment services, and related traffic management infrastructure that state and local governments deploy to manage vehicle flow, enforce traffic laws, and enhance intersection safety. Recent solicitations show purchasing activity centered on signal replacement and modernization, pedestrian signal devices, lighted warning beacons, traffic-detection equipment, automated enforcement systems, and on-call maintenance and rental services for temporary traffic control devices.

Issuing bodies span county transportation departments, city public works and streets divisions, state departments of transportation, and regional transit or planning authorities across multiple states. Brevard County in Florida, the City of Atlanta, and Broward County, Florida appear as repeat buyers; Texas Department of Transportation, California Department of Transportation, the City of Houston, and Orange County, Florida also show sustained activity. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Brevard, Hillsborough, Pasco, Collier, Orange counties and multiple cities), Texas (Houston, Dallas, Brownsville, TxDOT districts), Georgia (Atlanta, Stockbridge), and California (Caltrans), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Michigan, Kansas, North Carolina, Missouri, and Utah. Recent representative opportunities include Brevard County's $50,000 sole-source procurement for lighted traffic control systems under TAPCO for intersection safety improvements (posted October 19, 2026, response due January 21, 2026); the City of Atlanta Department of Transportation's barricade deployment and traffic control services for the Atlanta Streets Alive event series via IFB with bids due October 27, 2026; the Town of Manchester, Connecticut's traffic signal maintenance contract covering emergency and non-emergency repair, LED replacements, and Accessible Pedestrian Signals across approximately 97 town- and state-owned intersections under ITB with bids due November 6, 2026; Hillsborough County's three-year traffic control device rental agreement estimated at $688,970 with bids due October 28, 2026; and Texas Department of Transportation's pedestrian push button station solicitation with bids due October 27, 2026. Most contracts require FDOT or state DOT prequalification, prevailing wage compliance where federal funding is present, and proof of insurance; set-asides and local preferences vary by jurisdiction and funding source but do not appear consistently mandated across the code.
