UNSPSC 39111621: Heliport lighting systems

Helipad lighting generally consists of the lights installed in a circle or square between the TLOF surface and the FATO, the surface around the entire landing area. In addition, lights are provided to illuminate the entire heliport and the windsock must also be illuminated.

UNSPSC 39111621 Heliport lighting systems (Commodity) spans specialized airport ground-support equipment and infrastructure—specifically the lights, fixtures, and signaling devices that mark and illuminate helicopter landing zones and approach corridors. State and local governments rarely solicit directly for heliport-specific lighting; instead, the code picks up incidentally in broader airport modernization, ground-support equipment, and airfield safety work. Recent opportunities show little direct activity under this commodity. Most recent solicitations tagged to the code involve airport operations, passenger boarding equipment, aircraft tugs, and aircraft ramp services—work that falls outside heliport lighting scope. One quotation for Hali-Brite LED runway closure markers from the City of St. Petersburg Procurement & Supply Management Department (RFQ, May 2026) and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's bid for aeronautical edge lighting equipment (BID 6000003331, two-year requirements contract, May 2026) represent the closest match to airport lighting assets; both contemplate FAA-compliant fixtures for active airfield use. The St. Petersburg solicitation required compliance with FAA AC 150/5345-55A, diesel-powered operation, and 13 LED lights per unit with 140-hour continuous runtime. The Port Authority bid specified 23 line items of in-pavement and edge lights from Multi Electric Manufacturing, single-source authorized distributor, 30-day delivery, and semi-annual price-adjustment windows capped at 10 percent.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and the broader Southeast, with New York and New Jersey also active. Issuing bodies are split between county purchasing departments, airport authorities, and municipal aviation divisions—primarily airports managing Category I and II facilities or shared-use public airfields. The code shows insufficient recent procurement momentum to justify active pursuit; related airfield lighting and aircraft ground equipment work flows instead through broader capital improvement and airport infrastructure codes. Vendors pursuing airport lighting should monitor RFPs issued by state departments of transportation, airport authorities, and city aviation departments for modernization and safety projects, where heliport lighting may be packaged within larger facility upgrades rather than solicited in isolation.
