NIGP 90911: Airport Facility Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 90911 Airport Facility Maintenance and Repair, an Item code, encompasses the repair, rehabilitation, and maintenance of airport infrastructure including runways, taxiways, drainage systems, pavement, lighting, aprons, hangars, terminal facilities, and specialized airport equipment. State and local governments procure this work through a mix of notice types—ITBs, RFPs, and RFQs—with issuing bodies ranging from municipal airport authorities to county departments of aviation and city airport management divisions. Recent solicitations show activity across diverse facilities: the Sacramento County Department of Airports issued a construction manager at-risk RFQ for taxiway pavement rehabilitation with estimated completion by 2030; the Lee County Port Authority sought bids for non-public restroom remodels at Southwest Florida International Airport with a mandatory pre-bid meeting and fixed all-inclusive pricing; the City of Waco pursued comprehensive runway rehabilitation including mill-and-overlay and taxiway reconstruction through sealed bidding; and the County of Cobb issued multiple competitive procurements for taxiway rehabilitation, pavement maintenance, drainage repairs, and access gate improvements at McCollum Field. The work ranges from specialized systems—such as passenger boarding bridge and ground power unit procurement at Dallas Love Field, air traffic control tower construction at Peachtree City Airport, and precision approach path indicator navigation systems at New Smyrna Beach—to routine facility operations and janitorial services supporting newly constructed administrative centers at major hubs like Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Issuing bodies cluster around airport authorities and municipal aviation departments in mid-sized and large metropolitan areas, with repeat procurement activity evident at regional facilities. Activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina) and Texas, with secondary activity in California (Sacramento County, Solano County), Arizona (Pinal County, Phoenix), and select municipalities nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's IFB for taxiway E and F rehabilitation with a $25 million to $29.2 million construction cost estimate and 315–435 calendar-day contract duration; the City of Atlanta's multi-step sealed bid for on-call general contractor services supporting multitrade grounds and facilities maintenance at Hartsfield-Jackson with 24/7 emergency response requirements and FAA Part 139 compliance; the City of Phoenix's RFQ for aviation architectural construction JOC services with up to $35 million total contract value per contractor; and the City of Charlotte's ITB for on-call general contractor services supporting Charlotte Douglas International Airport with unit-price labor categories and projects capped at $30,000 each. Federally funded projects predominate, carrying Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy American preferences, and FAA compliance requirements; several solicitations note zero percent DBE goals while others incorporate standard federal provisions. Bonding, insurance, and response-time requirements are consistent across notices, with many requiring 24/7 availability and four-hour emergency response windows for critical infrastructure.
