Traffic Signal Equipment

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting bids on traffic signal equipment and accessories for statewide deployment on an as-needed basis under IFB #54-SS-3260058, with bids due October 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET. Written questions are due October 5, 2026, with State responses by October 12, 2026.

The scope comprises 222 line items organized into 24 lots and individual item categories, including signal heads (aluminum and polycarbonate in various sizes and configurations), pedestrian signal equipment, mounting assemblies, junction boxes, beacon controllers, time switches, and related accessories. All equipment must be newly manufactured with a minimum two-year or manufacturer's warranty (whichever is longer), covering all parts and labor. Vendors must be authorized resellers or manufacturers, registered as North Carolina vendors in good standing through the eVP system, and registered with the NC Secretary of State. Financial stability certification is required, with potential annual recertification.

This is an Agency Specific Term Contract (ASTC) with an initial three-year term from the date of final execution, with the State reserving the right to extend with vendor concurrence. Pricing must constitute the total cost for delivery fully assembled and ready for use, including all shipping, handling, and administrative fees on a Free-On-Board Destination basis for orders of $500 or greater to a single destination. Vendors may request a temporary tariff surcharge as a separate line item, subject to State negotiation and acceptance. Estimated quantities are informational only with no guaranteed minimum or maximum purchases.

Delivery is required Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM (excluding State holidays), with standard delivery within 60 calendar days of purchase order receipt for most items and 90 days for specified equipment. The State reserves the right to award to single or multiple vendors by lot or individual line item based on lowest responsive price meeting specifications. Public bid opening is conducted via Microsoft Teams. NCDOT's Traffic Electronics Center is authorized to perform warranty repairs and training on specified equipment models.
