NIGP 96877: Traffic Safety Services

NIGP 96877 Traffic Safety Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure traffic signal modernization, traffic control deployment, barricade services, safety planning studies, and related infrastructure to reduce roadway fatalities and improve mobility. Recent solicitations show a mix of capital construction (signal installations and upgrades), professional services (safety action plans and engineering design), and operations support (barricade deployment, traffic data collection, signal timing optimization), spanning cities, counties, metropolitan planning organizations, and special districts across the South, Midwest, and West.

The issuing-body mix includes municipalities and counties of varying size—from mid-sized cities like Brownsville, Texas and Orange County, Florida to smaller jurisdictions like the Town of Farragut, Tennessee and the City of Pooler, Georgia—alongside regional authorities such as the Orange County Transportation Authority and the Atlanta Regional Commission. Florida and Georgia dominate recent activity, with Texas, Tennessee, and Oregon also showing notable solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include the City of Brownsville's 12th Street Traffic Signal Improvement Project (IFB, bids due May 26, 2026), a federally funded modernization of ten signalized intersections with LED heads and intelligent transportation systems; the Town of Farragut's Automated Traffic Enforcement Program (RFP, proposals due June 3, 2026), a five-year no-cost-to-town red-light enforcement contract with monthly citation pricing assumptions; the City of Atlanta's barricade deployment and traffic-control services for the Atlanta Streets Alive event series (IFB, bids due October 27, 2026), a recurring multi-year operations contract; and Montgomery County, Georgia's comprehensive Safety Action Plan (RFP, proposals due September 22, 2026), a federally funded planning engagement under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's Safe Streets and Roads for All program. Activity spans construction (signal poles, controllers, detection systems), consulting (safety audits, crash data analysis, prioritization strategies), and operations (event-based barricade management, signal timing, vehicle data collection on a term-contract basis).
