UNSPSC 39111603: Roadway or highway lighting

UNSPSC 39111603 Roadway or highway lighting, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply, installation, and maintenance of highway and roadway luminaires, poles, electrical systems, and related lighting infrastructure that state and local governments deploy across transportation networks. Recent solicitations show state departments of transportation, county highway divisions, municipalities, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts acquiring LED luminaires in bulk, replacing or upgrading existing roadway lighting systems, performing maintenance and repair on highway lighting networks, and establishing on-call or emergency contracts for lighting-system stabilization and recovery. The work spans fixture replacement, pole and foundation installation, electrical conduit and service infrastructure, traffic signal lighting coordination, underpass luminaires, and integrated LED systems across multiple corridors and jurisdictions.

Activity under the code concentrates in state transportation departments and county highway agencies, with standout repeat buyers including the California Department of Transportation, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, Broward County (Florida), Collier County (Florida), and the City of Phoenix. Recent opportunities include the Missouri Department of Transportation Southwest District's IFB for High Mast LED Luminaires (responses due September 22, 2026), the Maryland Department of Transportation's electronic-bid highway lighting maintenance and repair procurements across multiple counties (responses due June and July 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for comprehensive streetlight maintenance services over five years (responses due June 30, 2026), the City of Meriden's streetlight maintenance solicitation covering 4,200 LED cobra-head fixtures and 750 poles (responses due August 26, 2026), and Brevard County's sole-source procurement for public safety tower lighting components including flash heads and driver modules (responses due December 2, 2025). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida (Brevard, Broward, Collier, Orange County utilities, and municipal systems), California (Caltrans Minor B contracts in Santa Cruz and San Francisco Counties), Maryland (MDOT SHA projects across multiple counties), and the upper Midwest and Southwest. The code shows sustained activity across state-level capital projects, federally funded transportation initiatives (including Carbon Reduction Program and FHWA HSIP funding), and routine municipal maintenance contracts, with issuing bodies routinely deploying set-asides for small business, disadvantaged business, and local-vendor preferences where state law permits.
