NIGP 97126: Hangar Facilities for Aircraft, Rental or Lease

NIGP 97126 Hangar Facilities For Aircraft, Rental Or Lease (Item) comprises leases and development of aircraft storage and operational facilities that state and local governments and airport authorities actively acquire for general aviation tenants and corporate users. Recent solicitations show airport authorities and county governments pursuing long-term ground leases of new corporate hangar complexes designed to accommodate mid-range to large-cabin aircraft, as well as design-build and construction services to develop or repair existing hangar infrastructure. Floyd County Board of Commissioners in Rome, Georgia has posted multiple requests for a newly constructed 9,120-square-foot corporate hangar lease at Richard B. Russell Airport, featuring an 84-by-80-foot hangar bay with hydraulic door, office space, and apron area, with proposals due August 20, 2026 via RFP. Beaufort County, South Carolina is soliciting design-build services (RFP, due May 8, 2026) for a new 120-by-60-foot transient hangar at Beaufort Executive Airport, with work funded by American Rescue Plan Act grants and completion targeted by June 1, 2026. Monroe County, Florida issued an RFP (due July 30, 2026) for demolition and construction of a new 13,000-square-foot hangar at Florida Keys Marathon International Airport. The Peachtree City Airport Authority in Georgia posted an RFI for corporate hangar redevelopment and FBO operations at Falcon Field, with proposals due June 1, 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina dominate recent postings—with secondary activity in Oregon and Texas. County airport authorities and municipal aviation departments represent the primary issuing bodies, with occasional special-purpose airport authorities (Peachtree City, Monroe County). Beyond ground leases and new construction, state and local agencies also procure hangar maintenance and repair services; the City of Fort Worth Aviation Department sought proposals for ongoing hangar door repair, maintenance, and insulation services across 32 hangars (RFP 26-0156, due April 23, 2026), and Collier County, Florida advertised grant-funded hangar restoration work at Everglades Airpark (IFB 25-8614, due March 30, 2026) for hurricane-damage repairs including bifold door replacement, electrical systems, and floor sealing. Small business participation goals and local vendor preferences appear in recent procurements; Fort Worth established a 30% Small Business Goal, and Collier County applied local vendor preference to its FEMA-funded repair project. The code shows steady activity across multiple jurisdictions and procurement types, with significant capital investment tied to federal disaster recovery and ARPA funding.
