NIGP 93686: Traffic Control Devices, Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93686 Traffic Control Devices, Maintenance And Repair (Item) encompasses the installation, repair, replacement, and operational support of traffic signal infrastructure, red-light camera systems, pavement markings, and associated work-zone safety equipment that state and local governments deploy across their transportation networks. State and local buyers under this code range from city transportation departments and county public works offices to regional authorities and state transportation agencies, with recent opportunities showing activity across Florida, Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, and Oregon. The scope of work extends from the supply of traffic signal components—LED modules, cabinets, controllers, and communication equipment—to full-service contracts encompassing system design, installation, 24/7 operational support, maintenance, and compliance with FDOT, TxDOT, or MUTCD standards. Buyers frequently structure contracts as requirement-type agreements or task-order vehicles permitting flexible purchasing quantities, multi-year terms with renewal options, and local vendor preferences where permitted. Common deliverables include temporary traffic control devices, pedestrian signal systems, pavement markings (painted, thermoplastic, and tape), intersection lighting, GPS-based signal synchronization, advanced detection systems, and integrated traffic management platforms.

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Southwest, with substantial activity in Florida (Sarasota County, Pinellas County, Broward County, Pasco County, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia) and Texas (City of Brownsville, City of San Antonio, Okaloosa County area). The City of Orlando's RFP26-0163 for a comprehensive Red-Light Camera Traffic Infraction Detector System covering 80 intersections with front-of-office operational support, five-year contract term, and single-contract award exemplifies large-scope integration work; proposals are due September 17, 2026. Okaloosa County's ITB PW 68-26 for maintenance of traffic and pavement markings spanning 124 line items with mandatory FDOT prequalification closed August 5, 2026. Smaller municipalities pursue component-level procurements, as evidenced by the City of Madison's May 2026 RFB for 383 complete traffic signal units including poles, signal heads, and LED modules (WisDOT compliant), and the City of Temple's ITB for sign and traffic control supplies with an estimated annual value of $50,000. Regional and statewide efforts increasingly target signal modernization through federal funding vehicles—the City of Brownsville's Carbon Reduction Program IFB 174-26-EPW-IFB seeks advanced detection, NEMA TS2 cabinets, and GPS synchronization at 33 intersections with liquidated damages of $1,100 per day and Davis-Bacon wage compliance. Kentucky's Division of Purchases issued a statewide signal maintenance RFB on a two-month cycle (due February 10, 2026) for troubleshooting and repair across the state, and Clackamas County's RFP 2026-06 targets signal timing conversion and optimization services for 81 intersections across six partner jurisdictions, with contract value estimated at $200,000–$300,000 and award projected for March 2026. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—San Antonio emphasizes SBEDA and VOSB program compliance, Brownsville encourages HUB subcontracting, Detroit applies equalization credits for designated vendor classifications, and Boulder County weights local support services at 25 percent of evaluation. Insurance, bonding, prevailing wage compliance (when federal funding is present), and prequalification with state DOTs are standard requirements.
