UNSPSC 25191554: Mobile ATA control tower

A mobile control tower has the same capabilities as a fixed control tower. Control is carried out through ground/ground and ground/air communication units by radio, on VHF, UHF and/or HF frequencies. It also allows the establishment of telephone communication between different ATC dependencies.

UNSPSC 25191554 Mobile ATA control tower is a Commodity code that covers flight information display systems (FIDS) and related airport operations technology, based on recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments buy software platforms, hardware integration, implementation services, and full-lifecycle operations and maintenance for display systems that deliver real-time flight, baggage, gate, and wayfinding information across airport terminals. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's ITN 26-302 exemplifies the scope: a seven-year contract encompassing design, configuration, implementation, software licensing, content development, operations, and 24/7 maintenance support for a FIDS platform serving 56.4 million passengers annually across 1,000+ display devices. Issuing bodies include large and medium-hub airport authorities and airport commissions. The code sees activity primarily from Florida and Georgia airport authorities, with the Orlando opportunity representing significant operational complexity at a major commercial facility. No set-asides or participation goals apply due to the specialized technical nature of FIDS work.

The Orlando procurement (ITN 26-302, response due August 27, 2026) is the most mature opportunity under this code. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority requires a full-time Site Manager with five years of IT or airport management experience and five on-site technicians with manufacturer certification and two years post-certification experience, reflecting the technical depth demanded. The contractor must maintain 99 percent uptime, deliver 30-minute phone response on a 24/7 basis, and absorb all cost increases over a seven-year term—unit pricing must be fixed at contract execution without renegotiation rights. Contractor-furnished work includes all software, licenses, materials, labor, and professional services; the Authority provides certain supplies, parts, and operating systems. Questions close July 30, 2026, with interviews and demonstrations scheduled for October 7, 2026. Award will be based on best value rather than lowest cost alone. This is a specialist market with limited recent opportunities; firms pursuing this code should focus on airport FIDS platform experience, long-term operational commitment, and ability to absorb fixed costs across a multi-year services contract.
