UNSPSC 25191540: Baggage Reconciliation System (BHS)

A type of conveyor system installed in airports that transport checked luggage from ticket counters to areas where the bags can be loaded onto airplanes. A BHS also transports checked baggage coming from airplanes to baggage claims or to an area where the bag can be loaded onto another airplane

UNSPSC 25191540 Baggage Reconciliation System (BHS) is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work being solicited under it in recent state and local contract opportunities. The Lee County Port Authority posted two opportunities explicitly tagged to this code: one for airfield photometric testing of runway and taxiway lighting systems at Southwest Florida International Airport (posting dates August 20 and October 14, 2026, RFQ format, due October 29, 2026), and one for comprehensive operation, management, and maintenance services of the Baggage Handling System at Southwest Florida International Airport (solicitation 260073LB, RFP format, mandatory pre-proposal meeting August 18, 2026). The photometric testing opportunity—measuring light distribution, GPS coordinates, and constant-current regulator parameters at runway and taxiway fixtures, with results delivered in Excel and Word format—has no connection to baggage systems. The BHS RFP (due September 21, 2026) is directly on-point, covering preventative and corrective maintenance, bag jam clearing, manual encoding, control room support, parts inventory management, and 24/7 software and hardware support for two outbound automated in-line systems and inbound carousel devices, with a six-year term and two optional three-year renewals, performance standards requiring 97 percent monthly delivery, and zero percent disadvantaged business enterprise contract goals.

The code shows minimal recent activity and appears to be a misclassification issue in the procurement office's tagging system. Beyond the Lee County BHS RFP, no other state and local contract opportunities in the recent block are substantively related to baggage handling systems, aircraft boarding bridges, airport access control, passenger boarding bridges, drones, helicopters, aviation engines, or other distinct procurement categories that appear in the broader dataset. Lee County Port Authority is the sole issuing body with relevant recent solicitations. Geographic concentration is limited to Southwest Florida (Lee County, Fort Myers area). The opportunity to bid on BHS operation, management, and maintenance is current and active; interested firms should confirm familiarity with FAA, DHS, TSA, and OSHA standards and with airport baggage system performance metrics (specifically 97 percent monthly delivery and sub-three-percent non-suspect baggage diversion to resolution areas) before engaging.
