NIGP 55919: Communications Equipment and Accessories, Train

NIGP 55919 Communications Equipment And Accessories, Train is an Item code under which state and local governments procure transit-specific communications and electronic components—speakers, sensors, monitoring equipment, inverter systems, battery units, and network infrastructure—for bus and rail operations. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority dominates recent activity under this code, posting 12 purchase orders since January 2026 for components ranging from audible indicator speakers for operator cabs and 360-degree surveillance cameras to AC inverter propulsion units, speed sensor assemblies, TSS evaluation receivers, and Moxa managed Ethernet equipment. These are tactical, goods-focused procurements with typical response windows of seven to ten days, posted through DART's BONFIRE registration portal where detailed specifications and bid tables remain gated until vendor registration. DART enforces strict delivery-schedule compliance, rejecting vendors who fail to meet timing requirements and accepting only FOB Destination shipping with freight included; invoices must be submitted in triplicate to APInvoices@dart.org with Net 30 payment terms. All procurements are subject to Texas law and Dallas County venue, with standard compliance certifications required (foreign terrorist organization attestations, Israel boycott prohibitions, equal opportunity affirmations).

Geographic activity centers on Texas, specifically the Dallas area through DART, with a single outlier RFP posted by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority on behalf of the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization in April 2026 for general marketing communication consultant services—an atypical scope that signals minimal procurement diversity under this code. Recent opportunities include DART's purchase order 2100009 for a coil (right) component due July 9, 2026; the June 2026 audible indicator speaker procurement (2099212) due June 25; the May 2026 modular Moxa managed Ethernet quote (2099361) due May 28; and speed sensor assembly procurement (2098882) due April 27. No dollar values, incumbent vendors, or set-aside designations are disclosed in posted materials. The code shows steady transactional activity but limited geographic spread and issuing-body diversity.
