UNSPSC 39111631: Airport lighting lamp

The precision approach path indicator (PAPI) uses light units similar to the VASI but are installed in a single row of either two or four light units. These lights are visible from about 5 miles during the day and up to 20 miles at night.

UNSPSC 39111631 Airport lighting lamp (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes specialized aviation lighting components, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span general building renovation, theatrical lighting systems, LED fixture retrofits, electrical maintenance services, and holiday decorations—work that does not require airport lighting lamps and often involves entirely different product families and technical specifications.

State and local issuing bodies in the recent record include school districts (Gwinnett County Board of Education, Pinellas County School District, Bulloch County Schools, Gatesville Independent School District, Forsyth County Schools), county and city governments (Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation, Harris County Precinct 3, City of Lubbock, City of Bartow, City of Douglasville, Sarasota County, Lee County Port Authority, Portage County Wisconsin), and state agencies (Texas Facilities Commission, University of Texas at Dallas, State of Illinois). The geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, and scattered activity in Arizona, Connecticut, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include LED lighting retrofit work at Mill Creek Elementary School (Bulloch County Schools, RFP, due November 5, 2026) specifying Philips and Sylvania fixtures; electrical maintenance and repair services at Pinellas County School District (ITB, bids due October 8, 2026) with an estimated value of approximately $400,000; theatrical lighting renovations at multiple Pinellas County high schools (RFP, due March 10, 2026) valued at approximately $1,680,000 for all locations combined; and HVAC and interior renovation projects at multiple Gwinnett County schools (multiple IFBs with bids due throughout September and October 2026) that include lighting as a component but not the primary scope. The code's tagging appears to reflect broad electrical or facility-upgrade categorization rather than precision targeting of airport lighting procurement. Firms pursuing this code should clarify with issuing agencies whether their specific aviation lamp products align with actual project scopes, as the recent activity record suggests the code may serve as a catch-all tag for lighting work unrelated to airfield operations.
