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 lighted traffic control signage, detection and monitoring equipment, signal controllers, poles, hardware components, and related installation and maintenance services for signalized intersections. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties purchasing complete signal system upgrades, replacement parts inventories, maintenance services, and specialized detection technologies—from LED signal heads and pedestrian signals to vehicle-detection cameras, battery backup systems, and connected-vehicle roadside units for adaptive traffic management.

Issuing bodies span county transportation departments (Brevard County, Orange County, Pasco County, Washington County in Oregon), cities (Manchester Connecticut, Torrance California, Brownsville Texas, Sandy Springs Georgia, Houston Texas, Tallahassee Florida, Orlando Florida, Albany Georgia, Fort Worth Texas, Rockville Maryland, Tucson Arizona, Milpitas California), state departments of transportation (California Caltrans, Missouri MoDOT, Minnesota State, Maine State, New York Department of Public Works), and special districts (Collier County, Okaloosa County, Sacramento County). Brevard County appears in four recent notices, all issued by the Public Works Department contact Heather Riley, pursuing sole-source procurements for lighted traffic signals (TAPCO), vehicle and pedestrian detection systems (Derq USA and ITS Plus), and maintenance equipment (Control Technologies FLIR). Recent activity concentrates in Florida, California, Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, and Minnesota, with scattered activity across other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Town of Manchester Connecticut's ITB for on-call traffic signal maintenance and emergency response across 97 town and state intersections (response due November 6, 2026, including prevailing wage and DBE requirements); Orange County Florida's responses due October 22, 2026 for a two-phase traffic signal upgrade with combined estimated cost of approximately $10.97 million; the City of Torrance California's ITB for radar feedback sign installation at 17 locations (response due April 29, 2026, engineer's estimate $320,000); and Brevard County's sole-source procurement for lighted traffic control signage systems at Stadium Parkway and Pineda Boulevard intersection with response due January 21, 2026 and contract value $50,000. County of Sacramento's RFB for traffic signal parts through the SCoPA cooperative purchasing vehicle (response due August 21, 2026) and Washington County Oregon's notice of intent to award a cooperative contract for illumination signals and ITS equipment under Washington State Department of Enterprise Services Contract #29023 with anticipated spending of $1.25 million signal strong ongoing demand for component-level and system-level purchasing through both direct procurement and cooperative vehicles. California continues to post frequent Caltrans Small Business Minor B contracts for signal equipment enhancements, detection replacement, and safety upgrades across multiple counties.
