NIGP 55088: Traffic Signals and Equipment, Electric Systems

NIGP 55088 Traffic Signals And Equipment, Electric Systems is an Item code under which state and local governments procure traffic signal components, cabinets, controllers, poles, detection systems, and related infrastructure for signalized-intersection networks. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying brand-specific modular cabinet assemblies (NEMA TS-2 and ATC configurations), traffic signal controllers and upgrade kits, Reno A&E plug-in cabinet modules, LiDAR connected-vehicle sensors, portable signal units, red-light camera systems with 4K imaging capability, and maintenance services spanning inspections, repairs, and emergency response for existing signal networks. The code also encompasses traffic signal-related construction and modernization projects—pole and mast-arm replacement, conduit and electrical infrastructure, pedestrian signal upgrades with ADA-compliant features, LED signal head conversions, fiber-optic communications integration, and intelligent transportation system (ITS) deployment including detection equipment, vehicle-to-infrastructure roadside units, and real-time monitoring capability. State departments (Minnesota, Utah, Maine, Texas, Florida) issue RFPs and RFQs for equipment supply and system upgrades; counties (Orange, Sacramento, Okaloosa, Collier, Pasco, Broward, Gwinnett, Bryan, Hillsborough) and cities (Fort Worth, Milpitas, Orlando, Austin, Brownsville, Olathe, Charlotte, Detroit, Salt Lake City, Madison, Goodyear, Dallas, Temple) solicit through ITBs and RFPs for both equipment and construction services. A 5% local-vendor preference appears in Sacramento and Orange County solicitations; set-asides for MBE, WBE, and DBE participation are named in Austin and Broward County opportunities. Cooperative purchasing provisions allow other public bodies to use awarded contracts in Orange County and Sacramento procurements.

Activity spans across California (Orange County, Sacramento, Milpitas), Florida (Orange County, Pasco, Collier, Okaloosa, Lee County), Texas (Fort Worth, Brownsville, Temple, Dallas, Cameron County), Utah (Salt Lake City, Eagle Mountain City), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Bryan County, Atlanta), Illinois (Village of Schaumburg), Minnesota (State procurement), Maine (State procurement), North Carolina (Charlotte), Arizona (Goodyear), Wisconsin (Madison), and Kansas (Olathe), indicating nationwide distribution. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Orange's custom sign fabrication IFB (August 14, 2026 response date) covering 40 parks with three-year renewable term and 5% OCLSB/DVBE preference capped at $100,000; the State of Minnesota's traffic signal controllers RFP (August 10, 2026 response) for one-year supply; the City of Orlando's red-light camera traffic infraction detector system RFP (September 17, 2026 response) covering 80 intersections with five-year term plus optional extensions; Sacramento County's Reno A&E plug-in cabinet parts RFB (August 7, 2026 response) for authorized-distributor supply on as-needed basis with local and micro-business preferences; and the City of Fort Worth's traffic signal poles and arms RFP (June 25, 2026 response) targeting 30% small-business participation with one-year initial term and four annual renewal options. Activity is robust and geographically dispersed across state and local jurisdictions with consistent demand for branded equipment, modernization services, and intelligent-system integration.
