UNSPSC 25191545: Common use terminal equipment

Airport common-use terminal equipment (CUTE) is an IT solution that enables multiple airlines to use existing airport infrastructures (the same hardware and equipment at a specific airport) to control passenger and flight processing through their own servers.

UNSPSC 25191545 Common use terminal equipment (Commodity) encompasses flight information display systems, airport ground support equipment, and related passenger-facing infrastructure that state and local airport authorities procure to maintain or upgrade operational systems. Recent solicitations show airport authorities buying complete FIDS platforms including software, hardware integration, and multi-year operational support; aircraft ramp boarding stairs and ground power units; terminal ramp sweepers; runway closure markers; and access control and video management systems for secured areas. The work ranges from procurement and installation of new equipment to maintenance and repair contracts for existing systems, with many solicitations structured as long-term service agreements requiring 24/7 support, technician certification, and compliance with FAA, TSA, or security regulations applicable to airport operations.

Airport authorities across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and other states are the primary issuing bodies, with recent activity concentrated among medium to large regional and international airports including Orlando International, Dallas Love Field, St. Pete-Clearwater International, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, and Peachtree City (Falcon Field). Representative opportunities include the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's ITN 26-302 for a seven-year FIDS design, configuration, implementation, operation and maintenance contract (response due August 27, 2026) covering 1,000+ display devices and requiring 99 percent uptime; the City of Dallas Department of Aviation's sealed proposal for procurement, removal and installation of twenty passenger boarding bridges and twenty ground power units at Dallas Love Field (responses due May 29, 2026, with construction September 2026 to March 2028); Pinellas County's ITB for annual access control and video management system maintenance at St. Pete-Clearwater International (responses due May 5, 2026, for a 36-month term); the City of McKinney's ITB for four aircraft ramp boarding stairs (responses due February 26, 2026); and the Savannah Airport Commission's RFQ for one terminal ramp sweeper (responses due February 24, 2026). Federal compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Buy American preferences, DBE participation goals (where applicable), and airport security mandates (TSA clearances, 49 CFR Part 1542.207) are standard across most solicitations.
