NIGP 98176: Traffic Control Equipment and Accessories Rental or Lease

NIGP 98176 Traffic Control Equipment and Accessories Rental or Lease, an Item code, encompasses the supply and deployment of temporary traffic control devices—including barricades, cones, signs, arrow boards, variable message boards, water barriers, and jersey barriers—for event management, work-zone traffic control, and maintenance of traffic operations. State and local governments solicit under this code for short-term equipment needs tied to recurring events, capital projects, and emergency traffic management, as well as for detection and signalization infrastructure upgrades at existing intersections. Issuing bodies span county public works departments, city transportation authorities, transit facilities, and special-purpose districts. Brevard County Public Works, the City of Atlanta Department of Transportation, Hillsborough County, Pasco County, Collier County, Orange County, Okaloosa County, and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority appear in recent solicitations, with Brevard County showing particular activity across three separate sole-source procurements for vehicle and pedestrian detection equipment at signalized intersections within a narrow posting window in mid-August 2026.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Florida, Texas, and Georgia. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB for ongoing rental of traffic control devices (cones, barricades, arrow boards, variable message boards, water barriers, jersey barriers) with delivery, setup, and maintenance services across county locations, estimated at $688,970.00 over three years with response due October 28, 2026; the City of Atlanta's IFB for barricade deployment and traffic control for the Atlanta Streets Alive monthly event series (response due October 27, 2026); Collier County's RFI for adaptive traffic control systems at 13 signalized intersections (responses due October 12, 2026); and the City of Brownsville's IFB for traffic monitoring and management at signalized intersections, including cyber-lock devices, CCTV systems, and traffic signal controller replacement funded through the Surface Transportation Block Grant (sealed bids due May 28, 2026). Sole-source procurements by Brevard County target proprietary vehicle and pedestrian detection systems from Derq USA, Inc., ITS Plus, Inc., and Control Technologies, Inc. (FLIR) for maintenance and replacement of existing signalized intersection infrastructure. Florida dominates the recent activity block, followed by Texas municipalities and Georgia special-district authorities.
