NIGP 80194: Signs, Runway and Taxiway

NIGP 80194 Signs, Runway and Taxiway, an Item code, encompasses state and local procurement of runway and taxiway lighting systems, navigational aids, pavement markings, and associated airfield signage that support safe aircraft operations. Recent opportunities show the code capturing a mix of runway and taxiway rehabilitation projects that integrate lighting and signage work alongside pavement and infrastructure upgrades. State and local buyers under this code include municipal airports, county aviation authorities, and municipal public works departments managing airport facilities and expressway infrastructure. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, the City of New Smyrna Beach, Okaloosa County Department of Transportation Services, the City of Waco, and Santa Clara County all posted solicitations in the recent window. Work being solicited ranges from precision approach path indicator (PAPI) lighting system installation and removal/replacement to comprehensive taxiway rehabilitation that bundles electrical ductbank installation for airfield lighting with pavement, drainage, and signage improvements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative opportunities include the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's Invitation for Bid (IFB 26-614) for Taxiways E and F rehabilitation at Orlando International Airport, posted April 24, 2026, with bids due May 5, 2026 and an estimated construction cost of $25 million to $29.228 million; the City of New Smyrna Beach's Invitation to Bid (ITB 1526AIR) for PAPI navigational aid system installation on three runways, posted April 28, 2026, with bids due May 29, 2026 and compliance with Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements under 49 CFR Part 26; Okaloosa County Department of Transportation Services' Invitation to Bid (ITB AP4926) for taxiway rehabilitation, posted April 22, 2026, with bids due April 29, 2026; and the City of Waco's Request for Bid (RFB 2026-002) for painting airfield runway markings, posted February 13, 2026, with completion required within 21 working calendar days from Notice to Proceed. Federal funding through FAA Airport Improvement Program grants and state transportation departments underwrites much of the large-scale taxiway and runway work, triggering Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, Buy American material preferences, and federal bonding and insurance standards.
