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 describes airport runway and taxiway lighting equipment, including runway closure markers, edge lighting systems, threshold lights, and related electrical components that state and local airport authorities procure for airfield infrastructure maintenance and capital improvements. State and local procurement activity under this code spans airport operators at municipal, county, and regional authority levels, with recent solicitations concentrated among airport departments within cities and special-purpose aviation authorities managing general aviation and commercial service airports. Representative recent opportunities include the City of St. Petersburg's quotation for two Hali-Brite Lighted LED X Runway Closure Markers (RFQ, May 2026), Salt Lake City Corporation's bid for a single Hali-Brite Runway Closure Marker (RFB SLCI26088, April 2026 close), and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's two-year requirements contract for aeronautical edge lighting equipment and spare parts from Multi Electric Manufacturing, Inc. (ITB through Bonfire, May 2026 close).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, New York, Utah, and Texas, with standout repeat buyers including the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (soliciting requirements contracts for installed base support), Orange County Florida (soliciting multiple airfield infrastructure including signal equipment and bridge replacement), and Salt Lake City Department of Airports (soliciting runway and taxiway rehabilitation with lighting replacement components). The Port Authority opportunity explicitly restricts suppliers to authorized representatives of the designated OEM, emphasizing the equipment-specific nature of these purchases; most other solicitations accept equivalent or alternate equipment meeting FAA certification standards. Dollar values range from single-unit marker purchases under $50,000 to multi-year requirements contracts and capital projects in the millions. Opportunities typically close on 30- to 45-day cycles, with electronic submission through platforms such as OpenGov and Bonfire now standard across issuing bodies. Delivery terms are commonly FOB Destination with vendor responsibility for freight, and insurance, bonding, and federal compliance (Davis-Bacon, Buy American, DBE participation) are routine requirements on federally funded airport projects.
