UNSPSC 46161507: Barrier tapes or chains

UNSPSC 46161507 Barrier tapes or chains, a Commodity code, encompasses temporary and permanent traffic control barriers, delineators, and related devices that state and local governments procure to manage roadway access, mark work zones, and control vehicular and pedestrian movement during construction, maintenance, and special events. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing barricades (Type I, II, and III), traffic cones, delineators, bollards, crowd-control barriers, water-filled barriers, and temporary traffic control assemblies alongside signage, striping, and traffic management labor. The issuing-body mix spans county commissions (Okaloosa County, Florida; Denton County, Texas; Marion County, Florida; Seminole County, Florida), city departments of transportation and public works (Atlanta, Brownsville, Charlotte, Detroit, Madison, Tucson, San Antonio), special districts and authorities (Atlanta BeltLine, Hartsfield-Jackson Airport), and state transportation agencies (California Caltrans, Texas Department of Transportation, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet). Activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and California, with additional procurement in North Carolina, Oregon, and other states. Recent representative opportunities include Okaloosa County's ITB for maintenance of traffic and pavement markings (due August 5, 2026) spanning 124 line items including barriers and temporary traffic control devices; the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice for barricade deployment and traffic-control services for monthly street events (prequalification due July 23, 2026); and Denton County's ITB for barricade services covering supply, setup, maintenance, and removal of multiple barricade types across rural and suburban areas (due April 23, 2026).

Geographic activity spans multiple states with heaviest concentration in Florida and Texas. Other recent opportunities include the City of Detroit's RFQ for traffic delineators (5,000 posts meeting NCHRP Category 1 standards, due July 2, 2026); Marion County, Florida's ITB for guardrail installation, maintenance, and repair (due March 19, 2026); Seminole County's IFB for emergency maintenance-of-traffic services supporting utility repair operations (due May 20, 2026); and Habersham County, Georgia's IFB for traffic control supplies including signs, LED warning lights, and speed bumps (due March 25, 2026). Barrier-tape and chain-specific procurement appears limited in the recent block; most activity centers on broader temporary traffic control device assemblies, barricades, and delineator systems rather than tape or chain products alone, suggesting the code may capture only a subset of barrier-related traffic management solicitations or that vendors typically bid these items as components of larger traffic control packages.
