UNSPSC 25201602: Aircraft navigation beacons

UNSPSC 25201602 Aircraft navigation beacons (Commodity) encompasses LED lighting fixtures, replacement parts for aeronautical lighting systems, and airfield lighting equipment that state and local aviation authorities and port operators procure for runway, taxiway, and navigational lighting infrastructure. Recent solicitations show demand for both supply contracts covering LED floodlights for cranes and cargo handling, and requirements contracts for direct replacement parts serving existing aeronautical fixtures including wind cones, visual approach slope indicators (VASI), lighting systems, and obstruction lighting equipment. Issuing bodies include airport authorities (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, City of Philadelphia Department of Aviation, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority), county port operators (Broward County Port Everglades Department), and cooperative purchasing vehicles aggregating demand across multiple participating states. The work spans capital projects involving runway rehabilitation with lighting system upgrades, inventory replenishment for existing navigation and safety equipment, and parts supply on an as-needed basis under requirements contracts with no minimum purchase guarantee.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Broward County, Orange County/Orlando, and the broader Miami-Dade area through Port Everglades), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia International Airport), and the Washington Airports Authority region serving multiple participating states including South Dakota. Recent opportunities include Broward County's open-end contract for 281 units of Phoenix EcoMod 3 Series LED floodlights (281 units, eight competing vendors, bids ranging $697,850.59 to $889,475.52, RFQ due September 25, 2026); the City of Philadelphia's requirements contract for Crouse-Hinds aeronautical fixture replacement parts estimated at $300,000 with term December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027 and four optional renewals (IFB due September 28, 2026); the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's Runway 7-25 Rehabilitation project with runway lighting system rehabilitation as part of a $7.08 million to $22.06 million construction scope (IFB due May 6, 2025); and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's cooperative purchasing RFP 25-22537 for Airfield Lighting Products available to all Participating States (RFP due August 7, 2026). SBE, CBE, LBE, and DBE preferences apply across jurisdictions; local-vendor preferences in Broward County and Philadelphia support vendors maintaining physical presence and conducting day-to-day operations within the jurisdiction.
