NIGP 93685: Traffic Counting Devices, Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93685 Traffic Counting Devices, Maintenance And Repair is an Item code covering the procurement of traffic monitoring equipment, detection systems, and maintenance services that state and local governments deploy to collect vehicle volume data, optimize signal timing, and manage traffic operations. Recent solicitations show a mix of purchases: pole-mounted radar-based vehicle counting stations with cloud data storage (Collier County); traffic signal LED replacements and modernization projects (City of Madison, Pasco County, multiple Texas cities); signal communication and monitoring equipment (City of Brownsville); and professional signal retiming services requiring engineering expertise (Sarasota County). The code also encompasses ongoing maintenance of pavement markings and temporary traffic control devices that support signal operations (Okaloosa County). Issuing bodies include county transportation departments, municipal streets and traffic engineering divisions, transit authorities, and regional planning organizations. County governments appear frequently as repeat buyers—Collier County, Okaloosa County, and Sarasota County all posted solicitations within the past three months—alongside city public works and traffic engineering departments in mid-sized metropolitan areas.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with representative procurements spanning July 2026 through May 2026. Collier County issued an ITB for 22 radar-based vehicle count station bundles with five-year cellular data service and cloud hosting, bid due August 3, 2026, funded entirely by FDOT (Federal Highway Planning and Construction); the total project cost is $311,562.00 with a local-vendor preference option available. The City of Brownsville posted multiple IFBs for traffic signal infrastructure upgrades: one for furnishing and installing traffic signal communications and monitoring equipment (FMUs, RSUs, managed switches, P5G gateways, antennas) due May 28, 2026, and another for the Carbon Reduction Program Light Synchronization Project deploying radar detection systems, NEMA TS2 traffic control cabinets, and GPS synchronization equipment at 33 intersections, bids due May 21, 2026. Sarasota County issued a Request for Professional Services for signal retiming and analysis at approximately 151 signalized intersections, proposal due March 18, 2026, requiring Professional Engineer licensure in Florida and experience with Advanced Traffic Management System software. Most solicitations involve federal funding (Surface Transportation Block Grant-Metropolitan Mobility, Carbon Reduction Program, or FDOT grants) and carry prevailing wage, Buy America, and DBE subcontracting plan requirements when applicable.
