UNSPSC 25191510: Ground power units for aircraft

UNSPSC 25191510 Ground power units for aircraft is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure ground power units (GPUs) and related components, particularly replacement parts and new equipment installations at commercial airports. Recent solicitations show airports buying new GPUs as part of passenger boarding bridge modernization projects, proprietary replacement cable assemblies for existing GPU systems, and pre-conditioned air units that integrate with GPU-equipped boarding bridges. The issuing bodies are municipal airports and county aviation departments, including the City of Dallas Department of Aviation, Broward County (Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport), the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority, and the City of Gallup. While several opportunities reference airport infrastructure, most recent activity centers on GPU procurement and integration as part of broader boarding bridge replacement initiatives rather than standalone GPU purchases.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania, with recent solicitations from Broward County and the City of Dallas representing the most substantial GPU procurement efforts. The City of Dallas Department of Aviation solicited proposals in May 2026 (due May 29, 2026) for procurement, removal, and installation of twenty GPUs alongside twenty passenger boarding bridges at Dallas Love Field Airport, with an anticipated construction period from September 2026 through March 2028 and one million dollars in optional service value. Broward County issued a Request for Information in June 2026 (due June 26, 2026) contesting sole-source designation for ITW GSE Inc proprietary 400 Hz GPU cable assemblies serving Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority solicited an RFQ in April 2026 (due May 28, 2026) for a single pre-conditioned air unit designed for mounting on an existing passenger boarding bridge. The code shows modest but consistent activity among regional and municipal airport operators managing equipment replacement and modernization cycles, with Federal Aviation Administration compliance and Airport Improvement Program funding driving procurement requirements.
