NIGP 90526: Air Traffic Control Services

NIGP 90526 Air Traffic Control Services, an Item code, covers traffic management and control equipment, systems, and infrastructure that state and local governments buy to regulate and monitor vehicular and aircraft movement — framed in recent solicitations ranging from traffic signal LED replacements and pavement markings to air traffic control tower construction and road weather information system instrumentation. The scope includes temporary and permanent traffic control devices, signal equipment and components (LEDs, poles, heads, mounting hardware), traffic data sensors and monitoring systems, pavement markings and thermoplastic applications, and air traffic control infrastructure projects. Issuing bodies span city traffic engineering departments, county boards of commissioners, airport authorities, state departments of transportation, and higher-education institutions operating transportation programs. The City of Madison appears twice in recent activity, soliciting traffic signal LED replacements in April and May 2026; Florida county and city agencies (Okaloosa County, City of Orlando, Pasco County) have also solicited under the code within the past three months.

Recent opportunities show geographic activity concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. Representative solicitations include Okaloosa County, Florida's ITB PW 68-26 for maintenance of traffic and pavement markings due August 5, 2026, covering 124 bid line items for temporary traffic control devices, barriers, and thermoplastic markings under FDOT specifications; the City of Madison's RFB for 383 complete 12-inch traffic signal units (WisDOT-compliant LEDs, poles, and bases) due May 22, 2026; the Peachtree City Airport Authority's IFB for construction of an Air Traffic Control Tower building at Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field due July 14, 2026, with federal funding and Davis-Bacon Act requirements; and the Utah Department of Transportation's RFP for Road Weather Information System instrumentation across eighteen equipment categories due April 30, 2026, with a five-year contract term and multiple-award structure. Texas State University issued an RFP for air traffic control simulation equipment and related services due June 22, 2026. Federal compliance requirements (Buy American, Build America Buy America, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, and OSHA/FAA standards) appear consistently across solicitations involving infrastructure or federally funded projects.
