UNSPSC 25201604: Aircraft guidance systems

UNSPSC 25201604 Aircraft guidance systems is a Commodity code that covers air traffic control and airport operations technology, including simulation equipment, surveillance data integration systems, and flight tracking software that state and local governments—particularly airports and aviation training programs—procure to support real-time operational management, situational awareness, and training infrastructure. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are acquiring subscription-based SaaS platforms that fuse multiple radar and surveillance data sources into integrated operational datasets, as well as tower and TRACON simulation systems with associated training and support services. The issuing bodies include university aviation programs and airport authorities managing commercial and regional operations.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida. Texas State University posted an RFP on June 22, 2026 for air traffic control simulation equipment and related services (RFP #754-TXST-2026-RFP-483-VPGOI), with proposals due the same day. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida issued an RFI on May 4, 2026 (closing May 26, 2026) regarding PASSUR Aerospace SaaS services—a proprietary flight tracking and landing fee management platform operating unique on-site radar equipment at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The RFI was posted as a single-source intent to determine whether competitive alternatives exist. A notice of relocation from Williamson County Purchasing Department in Texas (posted July 14, 2026) does not constitute a procurement opportunity under this code.
