NIGP 76556: Rollover Protections Structures (ROPS)

NIGP 76556 Rollover Protections Structures (ROPS), an Item code, covers protective barriers and structural systems installed on vehicles and equipment to prevent or mitigate injury during rollovers or tip-overs. State and local governments procure ROPS components as part of roadway infrastructure, heavy equipment acquisition, and fleet safety upgrades. Recent solicitations show ROPS being specified as components within broader law enforcement equipment and transportation infrastructure projects, rather than as standalone procurements. Issuing bodies pursuing this code include county governments and cooperative purchasing consortiums like Sourcewell, which aggregates demand across multiple jurisdictions—counties, municipalities, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations—to establish framework agreements for equipment and materials.

Santa Clara County, California has posted multiple infrastructure bids in the past four months that incorporate guardrail replacement and safety barrier work: the Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements project (ITB RDA FY26 0652, due April 23, 2026), the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (ITB RDA FY26 0694, due May 21, 2026), and the Red Fox Creek Bridge Replacement Project (ITB RDA FY26 0559, due March 5, 2026). Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) serves participating counties in Washington state including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties and extends nationwide to thousands of governmental entities. ROPS activity in recent state and local procurement concentrates in California transportation infrastructure and multi-jurisdictional cooperative frameworks; no solicitations in the available opportunities block named ROPS as a discrete line item or primary deliverable.
