NIGP 55960: Reflectors

NIGP 55960 Reflectors is an Item code under which state and local governments procure reflective safety components and assemblies for vehicles, transit equipment, and infrastructure. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code captures reflector products and replacement parts integrated into transit fleet maintenance and vehicle overhaul work, where reflectors are specified as part of comprehensive equipment restoration to meet original equipment manufacturer standards.

Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) posted an RFP on August 18, 2026 (due October 20, 2026) for CATS IV Streetcar Truck Overhauls, which includes overhaul of truck, hydraulic, and braking systems on Siemens streetcars at 15-year / 270,000-mile intervals and journal bearing equipment at 6-year / 310,000-mile intervals. Transit authorities represent the primary issuing body for reflector procurement under this code. Activity is concentrated in North Carolina, where CATS is the identifiable recent buyer. The scope spans truck and axle overhauls to OEM specifications, with CATS's Reliability, Condition & Maintenance department removing and preparing equipment and the Rail Inventory department coordinating transport to the selected vendor.
