UNSPSC 46161508: Traffic cones or delineators

UNSPSC 46161508 Traffic cones or delineators is a Commodity code capturing the full range of temporary and permanent traffic control devices state and local governments deploy for roadway safety, work-zone management, and event coordination. Rather than standalone cone sales alone, the code encompasses integrated traffic control procurement spanning cones, barricades, delineators, signs, message boards, arrow boards, and related hardware—often bundled with installation, maintenance, and removal services. Recent opportunities show state and local agencies using this code for everything from emergency maintenance-of-traffic (MOT) contracts providing 24/7 response capability to multi-year framework agreements establishing unit pricing for as-needed device procurement, as well as standalone purchases of specific delineator products meeting Department of Transportation approved-product-list (APL) standards.

Issuing bodies span the full jurisdiction spectrum: state departments of transportation (MoDOT, UDOT, TxDOT, Caltrans), county boards and commissioners (Okaloosa, Santa Clara, Pinellas, Marion, Harris County Toll Road Authority, Denton, Broward, Seminole, Pasco), cities (Tampa, Rio Rancho, Hilton Head Island, North Las Vegas, Austin, Gainesville, Atlanta, Tucson, Dallas, Salem, Stockbridge), and special-purpose agencies (transit, water utilities). Florida counties appear as repeat purchasers across multiple recent solicitations. Okaloosa County (ITB PWDA 260054-SM, due August 18, 2026) solicited 124 line items covering temporary traffic control devices, barriers, raised markers, and pavement markings; Seminole County (IFB 5209-26, due May 20, 2026) sought emergency MOT services with 1–2 hour response times; and the City of Tampa (ITB, due May 18, 2026) requested barricade and arrow-board rentals with two-hour emergency delivery capability. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida, California, Texas, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Missouri, Utah, South Carolina, Arizona, Maine, Oregon, and Nevada. The code reflects strong sustained demand from states investing in traffic-control infrastructure modernization and municipalities managing both routine public-works coordination and event-based street closures.
