NIGP 95803: Airport Management Services

NIGP 95803 Airport Management Services is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit operations, maintenance, technical support, and facility management services for commercial, regional, and general aviation airports. Recent state and local solicitations show procurement activity spanning baggage handling system operations and maintenance, ground transportation curbside and fueling facility management, air traffic control tower construction, passenger flow monitoring systems, rental car center operations, and on-call professional services including environmental planning, air service development, and construction management for airfield infrastructure rehabilitation. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the diversity of airport ownership and governance: county aviation departments and airport authorities (Lee County Port Authority in Florida, County of Sacramento, Broward County Aviation Department, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Collier County), municipal airport departments (City of Phoenix, City of Dallas, City of Lubbock, City of Atlanta Department of Aviation, Salt Lake City Department of Airports), and regional airport authorities (Peachtree City Airport Authority, Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County). Activity clusters heavily in Florida (Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, Immokalee, Southwest Florida Regional), California (Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Sacramento Executive, Franklin Field, Waco Regional), and Georgia (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field, Athens-Ben Epps). Tuolumne County appears as a standout repeat buyer across forest fuels reduction and environmental services related to airport-adjacent federal land management.
