NIGP 94067: Railroad Switching and Terminal Services

NIGP 94067 Railroad Switching And Terminal Services, an Item code, covers the electrical and mechanical components, assemblies, and equipment that state and local transit authorities purchase to support rail yard operations, track switching, and terminal infrastructure. Recent solicitations from the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority show procurement activity centered on LED signal assemblies in multiple colors and specifications (red light, green light, yellow light wayside signals at 8-inch and 5.5-inch sizes), electrical distribution equipment including circuit breakers and DC feeder breakers rated at 3000 amperes, lighting panels, voltage transducers, motor-driven derail operators, control interface displays for operations centers, and consumable maintenance supplies such as cable ties, contact cleaners, degreaser sprays, and paint. The code encompasses both capital equipment for terminal infrastructure and routine operational supplies required to maintain switching and signaling systems.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority dominates the recent solicitation activity under this code, issuing more than two dozen purchase orders since May 2026 through BONFIRE, its procurement platform. Activity is concentrated in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include DART's solicitation for Panel Surge 20A Lighting (Solicitation 2101246, due October 16, 2026) and a special contact cleaner/degreaser (Solicitation 2101170, due October 5, 2026), both structured as competitive quote requests with FOB Destination freight terms and Net 30 payment. Delivery schedules are material contract performance requirements; DART retains explicit authority to reject and terminate for default upon failure to meet specified delivery timelines. All bids require BONFIRE registration, invoice submission in triplicate to APInvoices@dart.org, and compliance with DART's standard purchase order terms and conditions. The California Department of Transportation solicited A&E on-call land surveying services (08A4010, due July 14, 2026, estimated value $2,428,285 to $3,945,963 over four years) for District 8, indicating some geographic spread, though DART represents the overwhelming majority of posted activity.
