UNSPSC 72141004: Highway reflector installation service

The installation and maintenance of highway reflectors

UNSPSC 72141004 Highway reflector installation service is a Commodity code that encompasses reflective safety signage and marking systems installed on roadways as part of broader street, road, and highway construction and reconstruction projects. State and local governments procure reflector installation primarily as a line-item service embedded within larger public works solicitations that include pavement, drainage, intersection, and traffic-control work, rather than as standalone reflector contracts.

The recent solicitation record shows highway reflector installation work solicited by county transportation departments, state departments of transportation, and municipal public works offices across Texas, New Mexico, South Carolina, Oregon, and Georgia. The City of Gallup, New Mexico (ITB-2701, Ciniza Drive Whole Block Reconstruction, due July 28, 2026) and Williamson County, Texas (IFB 26IFB64 and 26IFB65, CR 267 reconstruction and CR 214 milling and overlay, due August 5, 2026) represent current activity, though reflector installation is specified as subordinate work within comprehensive street and road projects. The Texas Department of Transportation has posted multiple state-let construction contracts in July 2026 with responses due in early August across diverse counties—Harris, Bexar, Dallas, Potter, Guadalupe, Johnson, Travis, and others—covering resurfacing, intersection improvements, bridge work, and hazard elimination where reflector installation and roadway striping compose discrete bid items. Dorchester County, South Carolina (IFB 202702, Old Spell Road Phase 2, due August 18, 2026) and Washington County, Oregon (ITB 2026.060-ITB 116198, Bridge #23952 railing retrofit, estimated $110,000, due July 29, 2026) round out the geographic spread, though Oregon's bridge retrofit and South Carolina's drainage-and-paving project treat reflective safety work as a minor component of multi-discipline contracts. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, with secondary activity in the Southwest (New Mexico), Southeast (South Carolina), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon). The code shows consistent activity but consistently as a subordinate line item within larger infrastructure reconstruction and improvement contracts rather than as a primary procurement focus—a signal that reflector installation alone generates limited discrete opportunity and is typically bundled into highway and intersection design-build or general contractor scopes.
