About this file
This document is a Blue Sheet Qualification/Specification Information guide published by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Traffic Engineering Section, dated August 3, 2026. The guide establishes standardized qualification and specification requirements for materials and equipment used in traffic signal installations throughout Oregon. The document provides comprehensive standards for product evaluation, encompassing two evaluation pathways: contractor write-in requests for immediate use on active projects and manufacturer/supplier requests for future use qualification. Products are evaluated by ODOT Traffic Engineers, Traffic Signal Technicians, and Electricians, with final status designations of Qualified, Trial Use Only, or Rejected. The guide covers 15 major categories of traffic signal equipment and materials, including temporary features, spanwire equipment, poles and pedestals, conduits and appurtenances, junction boxes, cables and wires, pedestrian and vehicle signal equipment, loop detection systems, illumination components, cabinets, signs, and obsolete materials. Each product category includes detailed technical standards, compliance requirements with relevant UL, ASTM, NEMA, and NEC standards, and specific documentation requirements for evaluation requests.
The specification standards emphasize material durability, environmental resistance, and safety compliance across all product categories. Conduit products must comply with appropriate National Electrical Code articles and UL standards, with specifications for both metallic and non-metallic options. Signal equipment, including pedestrian and vehicle signals, requires die-cast aluminum or polycarbonate housings with powder-coated finishes and stainless steel fasteners. LED modules for both pedestrian and vehicle signals face particularly stringent requirements, mandating testing results from Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories recognized by OSHA and ODOT, or alternatively acceptance on the California Department of Transportation's authorized materials list. Evaluation requests typically require manufacturer product data sheets demonstrating compliance with listed standards, though additional documentation such as independent test results, installation instructions, samples, and Material Safety Data Sheets may be requested depending on the product type. The guide notes that standards may be modified, added, or deleted at any time, recommending users download the current version from the ODOT website for each evaluation submission.

1 Product Evaluation This list contains the standards for all Blue Sheets products. It is intended to be used by:
• The manufacturer/supplier when submitting a product to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for evaluation for use on future projects
• The contractor when submitting a write-in product on the Blue Sheets for evaluation for immediate use on a project under contract
Standards may be modified, added, or deleted at any time, so it is important to always download the most current copy from the website each time.
1.1 Product Evaluation for Immediate Use
(Contractor Write-in Request)
The Contractor will submit the required documents as stated in the “To Request ODOT Evaluation” listed for each product in this document. Typically only a Manufacturer’s product data sheet (cut sheet) showing compliance with the standards is required, but depending on the product, additional information may be required or requested, such as independent test results, installation instructions, samples, Material Safety Data Sheets, etc.
Note that write-in requests:
o May be added to the Blue Sheets for future use at ODOT’s discretion o May not be allowed for certain items and will be clearly marked as such
1.2 Product Evaluation for Future Use
(Manufacturer/ Supplier Request)
Product evaluation requests fall into two classes:
• EQUAL: Products similar to products that are currently used by ODOT and have required standards listed in the Blue Sheets. The Manufacturer/Supplier will submit the required documents as stated in the “To Request ODOT Evaluation”
• NEW: Products not addressed by current specifications or standards. The Manufacturer/Supplier will submit all relevant documentation on product.
August 3, 2026 Page 2
Typically only a Manufacturer’s product data sheet (cut sheet) showing compliance with the standards is required, but depending on the product, additional information may be required or requested, such as independent test results, installation instructions, samples, Material Safety Data Sheets, etc.
Products will be evaluated by ODOT Traffic Engineers, Traffic Signal Technicians, and Electricians. The Manufacturer/Supplier will be notified of the final product status.
1.3 Product Status
1. Qualified: Product meets all applicable standards and is placed on the Blue Sheets
2. Trial Use Only: Products will be allowed a trial installation on one project only, recommended for a demonstration project, or recommended as an experimental feature.
They will be monitored during installation and for a limited performance period. ODOT will locate an active or future project which will incorporate the product. This will typically be accomplished within one year of notice of “trial use only” status.
3. Rejected: Product does not meet standards, has failed performance testing, or the requested product information is not provided within three (3) months of the request.
Unsatisfactory performance, at any time, will result in rejection of a product and removal from the Blue Sheets.
