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 is a Commodity code covering specialized systems and equipment installed in airport terminals to support passenger and baggage operations, gate management, and flight information display. State and local airport authorities are soliciting under this code for the procurement, installation, maintenance, and operation of baggage handling systems, flight information display platforms, passenger boarding bridges, ground power units, access control systems, video management infrastructure, and airfield photometric testing equipment. The scope spans equipment procurement bundled with multiYear operation and maintenance contracts, as well as standalone testing and upgrade services. Issuing bodies include airport authorities and municipal aviation departments operating commercial service airports, regional aviation authorities, and county port authorities managing airport infrastructure.
