NIGP 03555: Instrument Landing Systems

NIGP 03555 Instrument Landing Systems, an Item code, encompasses runway equipment, specialized airfield systems, and related services that state and local governments procure to support aviation infrastructure and air traffic control operations. Recent solicitations show demand for both physical airfield equipment and simulation systems used in pilot and controller training programs. Issuing bodies include state-affiliated educational institutions such as Texas State University, cooperative purchasing vehicles representing multiple member public entities like Sourcewell, and county purchasing departments. The work spans equipment procurement and the installation, training, and ongoing support services that accompany system deployment.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government cooperative, posted RFP 26RFP090826 on July 21, 2026, for runway equipment and specialized airfield systems with related services available to its Participating Entities, with proposals due September 8, 2026 through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. 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, voice capabilities, training, and support. Recent activity centers in Texas and Minnesota, though the cooperative purchasing structure and institutional procurement suggest broader geographic distribution among end users. The code sees intermittent solicitation activity; only two substantive opportunities appear in the recent posting window.
