NIGP 03515: Aircraft Radar

NIGP 03515 Aircraft Radar, an Item code, encompasses radar systems and surveillance equipment state and local governments procure for aviation operations, air traffic control facilities, and airport infrastructure. The scope of work includes tower and TRACON simulation systems, on-site radar hardware, and integrated flight tracking and surveillance platforms that fuse multiple data sources—such as ADS-B, ASDE-X, Mode S, and airline OOOI data—into operational datasets supporting real-time coordination, noise monitoring, and surface sequencing. Issuing bodies include state universities operating aviation training programs, county airport authorities, and municipal airport operators responsible for terminal airside operations.

Recent activity shows two substantive opportunities. Texas State University issued RFP 754-TXST-2026-RFP-483-VPGOI in June 2026 for air traffic control simulation equipment and related services, including tower and TRACON systems with voice capabilities, training, and support. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida posted RFI OPN2132005F1 in May 2026 regarding PASSUR Aerospace SaaS services, seeking to determine whether competitive alternatives exist to a single-source designation for integrated radar equipment and flight tracking software at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The RFI closed May 26, 2026. Geographic activity to date reflects Florida and Texas jurisdictions; the source does not support broader state-level characterization.
