NIGP 94067: Railroad Switching and Terminal Services

NIGP 94067 Railroad Switching and Terminal Services, an Item code, encompasses specialized electrical and mechanical components, lubricants, and maintenance supplies that support rail transit infrastructure operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring LED wayside signal assemblies (yellow, red, and green light variants in multiple configurations), derail operators, circuit breakers, frequency converters, batteries, transducers, gate mechanisms, contact cleaners, air filters, and track lubricants—along with architectural and engineering services for surveying and design work. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority dominates activity under this code, posting rapid-cycle purchase orders and RFQs for components and supplies with tight delivery windows; a single multi-disciplinary A&E on-call surveying contract from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans, District 8) represents the only non-DART solicitation in the recent-opportunities block.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority is the sole repeat issuing body in the dataset, accounting for more than twenty purchase orders posted between February 2026 and July 2026. DART procurement consistently requires FOB Destination shipping with freight included, Net 30 payment terms, triplicate invoice submission to APInvoices@dart.org, and strict delivery schedules enforced through default-termination provisions. Recent DART solicitations include LED assemblies for wayside signals (solicitation 2100103, yellow light 8-inch, due July 20, 2026; solicitation 2099815, red light 8-inch, due July 2; solicitation 2099814, green light 8-inch, due July 2), an electric motorized drive derail operator (2099926, due July 7), a direct current voltage transducer (2099544, due June 25), and specialized contact cleaner/degreaser (2099539, due June 18). The Caltrans A&E on-call land surveying contract for District 8 (San Bernardino and Riverside counties) carries an estimated value of $2,428,285 to $3,945,963 over four years through July 2031, with a 10.1% fixed fee for profit, SOQ due July 14, 2026, and in-person interviews scheduled for July 29, 2026 in San Bernardino. Activity is concentrated in Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth area via DART) and California (Caltrans District 8), with no geographic diversity evident in the recent-opportunities block.
