UNSPSC 25191507: Aircraft deicing equipment

UNSPSC 25191507 Aircraft deicing equipment is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure under this code far less frequently than the taxonomy name suggests—recent opportunities show airports are instead buying airfield lighting testing, baggage handling system operations, flight information display systems, access control and video management, passenger boarding bridges, runway closure markers, and air traffic control tower construction and modernization. The code shows little activity aligned with its nominal scope; procurement professionals should note the mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being solicited. The issuing bodies are primarily airport authorities and municipal aviation departments, including Lee County Port Authority (Florida), the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, the City of Dallas Department of Aviation, Peachtree City Airport Authority (Georgia), Pinellas County (Florida), and the City of St. Petersburg (Florida). Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted a runway equipment and specialized airfield systems RFP to establish contracting solutions for its member public entities rather than a single-agency procurement. State university procurement also appears—Texas State University sought air traffic control simulation equipment and related services in June 2026.

The geographic spread reflects recent activity concentrated in Florida and Texas, with secondary activity in Georgia, Minnesota (cooperative), and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Lee County Port Authority's airfield photometric testing solicitation (RFQ, due October 29, 2026), Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's Flight Information Display System platform design, configuration, and maintenance (ITN 26-302, responses due August 27, 2026), Collier County's security enhancements and emergency generator installation at Immokalee Airport (IFB, bids due July 31, 2026, project budget $443,300), Peachtree City Airport Authority's new Air Traffic Control Tower building construction (IFB, bids due July 14, 2026, Davis-Bacon and Buy American requirements apply), the City of Dallas Department of Aviation's procurement and installation of twenty passenger boarding bridges and twenty ground power units (sealed proposal RFP, due May 29, 2026, start September 2026, completion targeted March 2028, Airport Improvement Program funding with 0% DBE goal), Pinellas County's St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport access control and video management maintenance (ITB 260395, contract value approximately $105,000 annually), and the City of St. Petersburg's quotation for two Hali-Brite Lighted LED X Runway Closure Markers (quote deadline May 26, 2026). Given the disconnect between code name and actual procurement activity, vendors should treat UNSPSC 25191507 as a low-relevance filing category and instead monitor opportunities tagged to flight information systems, access control, ground support equipment, and airfield infrastructure codes.
