NIGP 55093: Warning Devices, Telescoping or Fold Up Type; And Accessories

NIGP 55093 Warning Devices, Telescoping Or Fold Up Type; And Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure traffic control and roadway safety equipment, including portable barriers, warning signs, light towers, cones, panels, and associated rental or replacement equipment used for traffic management during construction, emergencies, and scheduled events. The code draws solicitations from counties, cities, and special-purpose transportation authorities. Santa Clara County issued an ITB in March 2026 for expressway guardrail replacement and safety barrier improvements, including the installation of crash cushions and guardrails as part of a 45 working-day project; the City of Tucson issued an RFP in October 2023 for traffic control equipment rental across multiple city locations, requiring contractors to maintain equipment to Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices standards and respond to emergencies within 3 hours, with an estimated annual budget of $150,000 and potential contract extensions up to four additional one-year periods.

Recent activity centers in California and Arizona. The Santa Clara County procurement (ITB ITBRDAFY260652, due April 23, 2026) encompasses removal and installation of guardrails, concrete barriers, and crash cushions on an expressway corridor, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for April 14, 2026 in San Jose. The Tucson procurement (RFP 240010) requires compliance with HUD Section 3 Program requirements, mandating 25 percent of total labor hours performed by Section 3 Workers, with 5 percent from Targeted Section 3 Workers, and includes Federal Transit Administration and Buy America compliance obligations. The Tucson contract involves rental of barricades, signs, cones, panels, and light towers for both scheduled events and emergency response, issued on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed service volume.
