NIGP 86480: Vehicle Train Protection

NIGP 86480 Vehicle Train Protection is an Item code that covers protective equipment and systems designed to prevent collisions, derailments, and other safety hazards on rail and rail-adjacent infrastructure, including but not limited to grade crossing protection devices, train detection systems, track-mounted safety barriers, and warning equipment. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through transit authorities and regional rail agencies responsible for commuter rail, light rail, and grade crossing safety compliance; procurement also includes county and city public works departments managing at-grade crossing infrastructure on roads that intersect with active rail lines. The work typically involves installation, upgrade, replacement, or maintenance of protective systems that meet Federal Railroad Administration standards and state rail safety regulations.
