UNSPSC 39111622: Runway & taxiway lighting system

The purpose of taxiway lighting is to help ensure that both flight crew and vehicle drivers follow the correct taxiway routings at night and in low visibility and correctly stop as their ATC clearance limits.

UNSPSC 39111622 Runway & taxiway lighting system is a Commodity code that encompasses the testing, maintenance, and equipment supply for airfield lighting infrastructure used at commercial and regional airports. State and local purchasing offices solicit this code primarily through airport authorities and port districts managing facility operations, with Lee County Port Authority (Southwest Florida International Airport) appearing as a repeat buyer in the recent market.

The work being solicited under this code centers on photometric testing of runway, taxiway, centerline, edge, and touchdown zone lighting systems in compliance with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345-46E. Lee County Port Authority issued two airfield photometric testing solicitations (RFQ 2026115BW, due October 29, 2026, and RFQ 2026061BW, due August 20, 2026) requesting comprehensive measurement of light intensity at fixed locations, GPS positioning of fixtures, testing of constant current regulators at multiple intensity levels, and delivery of results in Excel format with calibration certifications. Providers must furnish specialized photometric equipment, mobile test systems with simultaneous sensor readings, and software capable of automated calculations; the Authority supplies only parking. Contracts run three years with compliance mandated under FAA AC 150/5340-26 and NFPA electrical safety standards. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability at $5 million per occurrence and Automobile Liability at $5 million for airside operations. Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, with Southwest Florida International Airport as the primary visible opportunity. The code shows limited breadth in recent state and local procurement beyond airport-specific lighting operations; most opportunities identified in the source cluster around airfield photometric testing and related aviation lighting infrastructure at a small number of authority-managed facilities.
