UNSPSC 25201604: Aircraft guidance systems

UNSPSC 25201604 Aircraft guidance systems is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized equipment and software systems for air traffic control and airport operations. Recent solicitations show activity centered on air traffic control simulation systems, real-time flight tracking and sequencing platforms, and integrated surveillance data services that support airport operations, landing fee management, and predictive analytics. The work spans airport authorities, transit-adjacent state university programs, and county purchasing departments managing commercial airport operations. Scope ranges from tower and TRACON simulation equipment with associated training and support services to proprietary subscription-based software platforms that fuse multiple surveillance data sources—including ADS-B, ASDE-X, Mode S, and ACARS feeds—into integrated operational datasets for situational awareness and real-time coordination.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. Texas State University posted RFP 754-TXST-2026-RFP-483-VPGOI on June 22, 2026, requesting proposals for air traffic control simulation equipment and related services with submissions due the same day through the TXST MarketPlace system. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida issued RFI OPN2132005F1 on May 4, 2026, closing May 26, 2026, to assess competitive alternatives to PASSUR Aerospace's proprietary flight tracking and airport operations management software; PASSUR currently operates on-site radar equipment at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and provides integrated services including landing fee management, traffic management, and noise monitoring. A third posting—Williamson County Purchasing Department's relocation notice—does not represent a procurement opportunity.
