NIGP 55083: Traffic Devices, Markers, Plaques, etc. Recycled

NIGP 55083 Traffic Devices, Markers, Plaques, Etc. Recycled is an Item code covering the rental, purchase, and installation of temporary and permanent traffic control equipment—traffic signals, cones, barricades, message boards, poles, heads, and detection systems—that state and local governments deploy for intersection safety, construction work zones, special events, and traffic modernization projects. County transportation departments, city public works and water utilities, and transit authorities are the primary issuing bodies; Brevard County, Hillsborough County, Pasco County, and the City of Brownsville appear repeatedly in recent solicitations. Recent work spans lighted traffic signal installations with pedestrian signals and intersection lighting (Pasco County, two separate bids for four-pole box-span installations at May 2026 and October 2026), rental agreements for temporary control devices including variable message boards and jersey barriers (Hillsborough County, $688,970 over three years, October 2026), design services for intelligent transportation systems upgrades across multiple signalized intersections with Aerial Detection Systems and video analytics (Orange County, Florida, $1.017 million, September 2026 RFP), traffic signal modernization projects with advanced detection and GPS synchronization (City of Brownsville, Texas, multiple bids in May and October 2026), and barricading and traffic control services for water utilities (City of Dallas, five-year ID/IQ, September 2026). Sole source and competitive bids dominate; most responses require FDOT or TxDOT prequalification and compliance with MUTCD standards.

Activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas, with secondary presence in Georgia, California, and Wisconsin. Florida procurement—particularly from Brevard, Hillsborough, Orange, and Pasco Counties and the City of Brownsville, Texas (which operates under RGVMPO-funded surface transportation block grants)—accounts for the highest recent volume. San Bernardino County, California applied a 5% local-vendor preference to a July 2026 traffic devices and supplies RFB. Representative current opportunities include Hillsborough County's three-year rental agreement for traffic control devices (October 2026, ITB, $688,970 estimated value, 36-inch cones, arrow boards, variable message boards, jersey barriers, advance notice delivery, AMOT-certified personnel required), Orange County's John Young Parkway ITS design RFP covering 19 signalized intersections (September 2026, $1.017 million, 365-day design term, FDOT prequalification required in Category 6.3.1 or 7.3, weighted evaluation on project manager and engineer experience 35-50% combined), and the City of Brownsville's Traffic Monitoring and Management of Signalized Roads construction bid (May 2026, ITB, Cyber Lock, CCTV, and Econolite controller installation, 220-day completion, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, HUB subcontracting plan required). Smaller municipal contracts—Temple, Texas sign and traffic control supplies ($50,000 annual, July 2026) and Madison, Wisconsin 12-inch LED signal head replacement (383 units, May 2026)—show ongoing commodity purchasing. Most solicitations require commercial general liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation, and E-Verify compliance; federal-funded projects mandate Davis-Bacon rates and Buy America Act compliance.
