NIGP 55089: Traffic Signals and Equipment, Electric Parts

NIGP 55089 Traffic Signals and Equipment, Electric Parts is an Item code covering the supply and installation of electrical components, detection systems, signaling equipment, and related hardware that state and local jurisdictions deploy to operate and maintain traffic control networks. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying LED signal modules, traffic signal cabinets and controllers, detection and sensing systems, poles and mast arms, pedestrian signal equipment, radar feedback signs, fiber-optic infrastructure for ITS networks, and emergency vehicle preemption gear—as well as ongoing maintenance and repair services to keep existing systems functional.

Procurement activity under this code spans multiple issuing-body types: county transportation and public works departments (Brevard County, Orange County, Pasco County, Bryan County, Okaloosa County), municipal transportation divisions (Fort Worth, Tallahassee, Detroit, Dallas, Tucson), state transportation cabinets (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Texas Department of Transportation), and transit or infrastructure authorities (Lee County Port Authority). Orange County, Florida and Brevard County, Florida appear as repeat buyers with multiple recent solicitations for signal upgrades, ITS components, and detection equipment. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Orange County, Brevard County, Collier County, Pasco County), Texas (Fort Worth, Dallas, Brownsville, Austin), and the Southeast (Georgia, Tennessee), with additional activity in Kentucky, Connecticut, Illinois, and California. Recent representative opportunities include the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's reverse-auction competitive solicitation for approximately 7,240–8,730 LED traffic signal modules (8-inch and 12-inch circular, arrow, pedestrian countdown, and bicycle signal configurations) compliant with Build America, Buy America Act requirements, awarded on a 95-points-for-price / 5-points-for-delivery-time basis through an eBridge e-procurement platform with Phase 1 technical offers due September 8, 2026 and Phase 2 reverse auction September 16, 2026; Orange County, Florida's sealed-bid procurement for Traffic Signal Upgrade Phase I and Phase II estimated at $10.97 million combined (Phase I $5.55 million, Phase II $5.42 million), with responses due October 22, 2026 via OpenGov e-Procurement; the Town of Manchester, Connecticut's ITB for on-call traffic signal maintenance across 53 town-owned and 44 state-maintained intersections, including emergency response, LED replacements, accessible pedestrian signal installation, and controller/cabinet work under prevailing wage and DBE requirements, with bids due November 6, 2026; and Brevard County's sole-source procurements for lighted traffic control systems (TAPCO, $50,000), vehicle and pedestrian detection (Derq USA), ITS detection cameras (ITS Plus Thunder VIVDS), and FLIR detection equipment under Florida Statutes section 287.057(5)(3)(c), all issued under sole-source justification citing compatibility, proprietary technology, or system standardization.
