UNSPSC 46161504: Traffic signals

UNSPSC 46161504 Traffic signals, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply, installation, maintenance, and modernization of traffic signal equipment and systems that state and local governments deploy at intersections to manage vehicle and pedestrian flow. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring standalone signal heads and components, complete signal systems with controllers and detection equipment, intelligent transportation systems with video analytics and connected-vehicle capability, and on-call maintenance and repair services across a mix of stand-alone procurements and integrated intersection-improvement projects.

Brevard County (Florida) dominates recent activity under this code, posting four sole-source procurements between August and October 2026 for lighted traffic control systems (TAPCO), vehicle and pedestrian detection equipment (Derq USA, Inc.), traffic detection and data-collection camera systems (ITS Plus, Inc.), and FLIR detection equipment (Control Technologies, Inc.), totaling at least $50,000 in announced value. Beyond Brevard County, the code sees activity from counties, cities, and state departments across Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, California, Oregon, New York, Minnesota, and Maryland. The Town of Manchester, Connecticut issued an ITB for on-call traffic signal maintenance services (November 6, 2026 deadline) covering 97 locations with emergency response availability and prevailing wage compliance.
