UNSPSC 25191515: Ground controlled approach system

A multi device system that guides aircraft to runway by tracing the location of aircraft with radar by the ground air controller and providing aircraft with direction and altitude. Abbreviated GCA, it is structured for airport surveillance radar --ASR-- and precision approach radar --PAR.

UNSPSC 25191515 Ground controlled approach system (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code name suggests precision-landing instrumentation or navigation aids, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve passenger boarding bridges, ground power units, baggage handling systems, and airport terminal equipment—none of which constitute ground controlled approach systems or related avionics. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the source data or a misapplication of the code to airport infrastructure procurement that falls outside the code's nominal scope.

The recent opportunities do show genuine state and local airport procurement activity, but it is not relevant to the ground controlled approach system code itself. Okaloosa County (Florida) solicited installation of preconditioned air and ground power units for boarding bridges through ITB ITBAP0327 (due October 28, 2026); the City of Waco issued RFP 2026-055 for on-call maintenance of baggage handling and boarding bridge systems (due October 20, 2026); the City of Dallas solicited procurement and installation of twenty passenger boarding bridges and ground power units at Dallas Love Field through sealed proposals (due May 29, 2026); and Broward County issued an RFI regarding ground power unit cable assemblies for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Sourcewell, on behalf of Minnesota local government members, solicited runway equipment and specialized airfield systems through RFP 26RFP090826 (due September 8, 2026). These opportunities span Florida, Texas, and Minnesota and involve multiple airport operators (county, city, regional cooperative), but none address ground controlled approach systems. Pursuit under this code is not advised without clarification of the underlying category assignment.
