NIGP 91232: Construction, Street Lighting

NIGP 91232 Construction, Street Lighting, an Item code, encompasses state and local procurement for street lighting installation, maintenance, pedestrian lighting improvements, and related infrastructure work including underground conduits, electrical systems, LED fixtures, decorative holiday lighting installations, and traffic signal lighting. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, and transit authorities buying new streetlight systems with LED technology (2700K color temperature standard), foundation and pole installation work, underground utility coordination, and long-term maintenance contracts combining scheduled inspections with emergency repair services. The issuing bodies span municipal departments (Phoenix, Tucson, Bartow, Marietta, Fairburn, Canton, Temple), county governments (Sarasota, Escambia, DeKalb, Santa Clara, Broward, Orange County), school districts (Bibb County Public Schools), transit authorities (Trinity Metro), and special-purpose districts (Savannah Economic Development Authority, Lee County Port Authority). Repeat buyers include Escambia County, which has posted multiple streetlight maintenance ITBs with 24-hour emergency response and bi-monthly inspection requirements, and Sarasota County, which solicits both decorative holiday pole-mount lighting and intersection improvement projects incorporating signalization and illumination. Procurement activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina) and Texas, with additional activity in California, Arizona, and scattered jurisdictions in Colorado and Illinois.

Representative recent opportunities include Sarasota County's Quick Quote for 45 LED lighted silhouette pole-mount decorations (quotes due July 23, 2026, $50,000 ceiling), the City of Thousand Oaks' IFB for street lighting infrastructure on Avenida De Los Arboles including 17 new streetlights with underground conduit and LED luminaires (bids due July 29, 2026), and the City of Phoenix's sealed offer solicitation for five-year streetlight maintenance services district-wide with two optional one-year extensions (proposals due June 30, 2026).

Bidders must typically hold current state electrician licensure, comply with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage on federally-funded projects, manage E-Verify and debarment certifications, and provide performance and payment bonds of 100 percent of contract value. Federal compliance applies on FTA-funded work (Trinity Metro) and FHWA-funded projects (Tucson, Temple Airport), with Buy America and Build America Buy America Act certifications required. Activity spans base installations (new poles, fixtures, conduit systems), maintenance contracts with specified response times (24-90 minutes for emergencies, 48 hours for standard repairs), and add-alternate pricing for decorative or enhanced lighting features.
