NIGP 94050: Passenger Transportation Services, Railroad

NIGP 94050 Passenger Transportation Services, Railroad is an Item code covering the design, integration, installation, and operational support of specialized systems on commuter rail and passenger rail vehicles, as well as consulting and technical services supporting rail fleet modernization and compliance. State and local transit authorities and rail agencies solicit under this code for locomotive and passenger-car system upgrades, including digital recording systems, washer/wiper modernization, passenger-door overhaul, fleet diagnostics, and engineering support to meet Federal Railroad Administration regulatory deadlines. Work also encompasses paratransit and demand-response transportation services for disadvantaged populations, charter transportation, and transportation data collection supporting mobility planning. The issuing bodies are primarily regional transit authorities (Utah Transit Authority, Orange County Transportation Authority, Monroe County), school districts (Stockton Unified School District), and county human-services departments (Clayton County, Georgia; Monroe County, Florida).
