NIGP 86473: Recycled Train Controls

NIGP 86473 Recycled Train Controls, an Item code, addresses procurement of refurbished or reconditioned train control systems and components that transit agencies and rail operators source as cost-effective alternatives to new equipment. State and local governments buy salvaged or rebuilt locomotive control modules, signal processors, brake management units, and related assemblies under this code to extend the service life of rolling stock or retrofit aging rail fleets at lower capital cost than original manufacture. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are typically regional and statewide transit authorities, port authorities operating rail yards, and occasionally county or municipal public works departments managing light rail or commuter rail assets.

The source material provided contains no recent state or local contract opportunities or solicitations under NIGP 86473 Recycled Train Controls, and therefore no geographic concentration, issuing-body patterns, or representative procurement examples can be identified at this time.
