NIGP 68096: Traffic Batons

NIGP 68096 Traffic Batons is an Item code that encompasses barricade deployment, traffic control devices, and supporting services for street events and traffic management operations. State and local governments procure barricades, traffic cones, road-closure signage, warning devices, and trained personnel to deploy and manage these materials for recurring events, intersection closures, and temporary traffic control. The issuing bodies span city departments of transportation, county boards of commissioners, and municipal traffic engineering offices. Atlanta's Department of Transportation has emerged as a repeat buyer, posting multiple solicitations for barricade deployment and traffic-control services supporting the Atlanta Streets Alive event series.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia, with additional procurement in North Carolina and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include the City of Atlanta Department of Transportation's October 2026 IFB for barricade deployment services and traffic control for the Atlanta Streets Alive event series (response due October 27, 2026); Pasco County Board of County Commissioners' May 2026 and October 2026 IFBs for four-pole, box-span traffic signal installations with pedestrian signals and intersection lighting; and Thomas County Board of Commissioners in Georgia's April 2026 ITB for traffic striping services (response due May 22, 2026). Barricade-focused opportunities emphasize recurring event support with multi-year contract terms, while signal-installation and striping work reflects capital infrastructure projects. No single procurement dominates by value; contract scope and pricing vary materially by jurisdiction and project type.
