UNSPSC 39111629: Visual Docking Guidance System (VDGS)

A stand guidance system is a system which gives information to a pilot attempting to park an aircraft at an airport stand, usually via visual methods, leading to the term Visual Docking Guidance System (VDGS) and also A-VDGS (the A standing for advanced)

UNSPSC 39111629 Visual Docking Guidance System (VDGS) is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities block contains no solicitations actually seeking VDGS equipment or systems; the opportunities posted under this code span drone light shows, helicopter tugs, aircraft tug and tow equipment, bus wash blowers, airport lighting and runway closure markers, aircraft boarding ramps and stairs, passenger boarding bridges, traffic signal equipment, bridge replacement, access control systems, weather observation systems, terminal ramp sweepers, and law enforcement supplies. None of these align with the code's nominal scope of visual docking guidance systems for aircraft. The mismatch indicates the code shows little relevant recent activity at the state and local level.

The few aviation-adjacent opportunities—such as the City of Dallas's procurement for twenty passenger boarding bridges and ground power units (RFP, May 8, 2026, response due May 29, 2026) and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's solicitation for aeronautical edge lighting equipment and spare parts (Bid #6000003331, May 12, 2026, due May 26, 2026)—address peripheral airport infrastructure, not visual docking guidance. State and local issuing bodies appearing across the broader set include counties (Okaloosa, Jefferson, Pinellas, Orange, Collier, Harris), cities (Dallas, McKinney, Fort Worth, Savannah, St. Petersburg), airport authorities (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Jacksonville Transportation Authority, Savannah Airport Commission), and transit agencies (Broward County and City of Fort Lauderdale). Geographic distribution spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, New York, and New Hampshire, with concentration in Florida and Texas airports. Given the absence of actual VDGS procurement activity and the posting of unrelated equipment solicitations under this code, pursue only if your firm specializes in airport ground-support systems generally and can identify specific VDGS needs through direct outreach to airport procurement offices; the code itself does not currently reflect active demand.
