Battery Powered Tower Light

The Tennessee Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for battery-powered tower lights, with proposals due August 3, 2026. The procurement specification document (1804695.pdf) establishes detailed technical performance standards that are the primary capability filter: luminosity measured in lumens, battery capacity and runtime under varied conditions, structural durability for field deployment, operational performance across weather conditions, and equipment certification and safety compliance.

The scope covers portable lighting units for roadwork operations, maintenance activities, and emergency response. Accepted units must demonstrate consistent light output and reliability throughout their service life and maintain specified performance levels in diverse environmental conditions.

Pricing is structured on a unit-cost basis for individual battery-powered tower light units. Funding derives from TDOT's capital equipment budget. The specification does not indicate set-asides for disadvantaged businesses or small enterprises.
