UNSPSC 46161518: Traffic control channelizer drum

A drum-shape traffic safety facility which is used for traffic control or inducement during the road construction work.

UNSPSC 46161518 Traffic control channelizer drum, a Commodity code, comprises temporary traffic control devices—specifically cone-shaped plastic channelizers or drums—that state and local governments deploy for work-zone safety, temporary lane closures, and event traffic management. Recent solicitations show Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Okaloosa County, Florida procuring these devices through competitive bids and IFBs, with specifications calling for 42-inch minimum height, low-density polyethylene construction in highway orange, retroreflective sheeting per ASTM D 4956, MASH Test Level 3 compliance, and integral or separate ballast weights for overturning resistance. The code captures both bare devices and fully configured assemblies ready for deployment.

State transportation departments and county public works agencies dominate recent activity. MoDOT issued two separate IFBs in July 2026 for statewide trimline channelizers, signaling ongoing fleet replenishment across Missouri's districts; Okaloosa County, Florida, included channelizers within a broader traffic and pavement markings ITB due August 5, 2026. Procurement volumes range from 50-unit minimums in Missouri to large countywide inventories in Florida, with bids evaluated on unit pricing and delivery performance. Missouri's contract spans two years with three optional one-year renewals at $384,762.44 historical spend since 2021, while Florida requires FDOT prequalification and compliance with state standards. Geographic activity centers on the South and Midwest; no recent opportunities appeared in the Northeast or West outside the source block. Buy American preferences apply in Missouri (10 percent price benefit for domestic manufacture), and M/WBE participation is encouraged where applicable. Vendors must meet MASH and ASTM standards, provide manufacturer certifications of compliance, hold liability insurance minimums of $1 million, and deliver FOB destination with freight prepaid within 30 days in Missouri and 20 days in Florida.
