UNSPSC 25191508: Jetways

UNSPSC 25191508 Jetways is a Commodity code that covers boarding bridge equipment and related services at commercial airports. State and local governments procure jetway systems infrequently but when they do, the work spans procurement of new equipment, removal and installation of replacements, maintenance and repair of existing systems, and related infrastructure integration. Recent solicitations show airports acquiring passenger boarding bridges (PBBs) alongside ground power units (GPUs), replacing aging equipment, and contracting for long-term operation and maintenance. The issuing bodies are airport authorities and municipal aviation departments—primarily independent airport authorities and city departments of aviation managing commercial-service facilities. Airports also procure related system components such as access control managers, video surveillance integration, and ground support equipment as part of broader terminal modernization efforts.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with representative opportunities including the City of Dallas Department of Aviation's competitive sealed proposal for procurement, removal, and installation of twenty passenger boarding bridges and twenty ground power units at Dallas Love Field Airport (proposals due May 29, 2026, with a construction timeline from September 2026 through March 2028 and federal AIP funding), and the City of St. Petersburg's quote for two Hali-Brite Lighted LED X runway closure markers with covers (due May 26, 2026). Additional relevant activity appears in the City of McKinney, Texas (Air Traffic Control Tower Modernization RFP, August 13, 2026), Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicle for runway equipment and specialized airfield systems (RFP due September 8, 2026), and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's Invitation to Negotiate for Flight Information Display System design, configuration, implementation, and seven-year operation and maintenance (responses due August 27, 2026, with board approval targeted December 16, 2026). All major procurements are subject to federal compliance including Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage, Buy American preferences where AIP-funded, and DBE participation requirements, though specific set-asides and goal percentages vary by jurisdiction and project funding source.
