UNSPSC 39111633: Obstacle lighting

Per International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) obstacle light requirements, all structures exceeding 45 meters above ground level (AGL) must be appropriately marked with aviation warning lights or paint.

UNSPSC 39111633 Obstacle lighting is a Commodity code. State and local governments currently procure obstacle lighting to support facility and operational safety at recreational centers, performing arts venues, transit authorities, water resource facilities, correctional institutions, and educational campuses. Recent solicitations show purchasing activity that spans decorative holiday LED pole-mount silhouettes, theatrical and auditorium lighting systems, gymnasium and recreational lighting retrofits, sports field lighting infrastructure, parking and facility security lighting, and stage-specific followspot and control consoles—a scope considerably broader than the narrow "obstacle lighting" label suggests. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county departments of parks and recreation, city utilities and procurement offices, independent school districts, community colleges, state correctional facilities, transit authorities, and special-purpose venues. Repeat buyers include Pinellas County School District (Florida) and Gwinnett County (Georgia), both of which have posted multiple lighting procurement opportunities across athletic facilities, educational spaces, and park infrastructure. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, and Colorado, with additional opportunities in Wisconsin, New Mexico, Mississippi, and South Dakota.

Representative recent opportunities include Sarasota County's quick-quote solicitation for 45 LED holiday pole-mount decorations (due July 23, 2026, ITB 2026QQ778), the City of Pembroke Pines' lobby-light retrofit at City Hall (due July 6, 2026, subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements), Orange County Transportation Authority's blanket lighting supplies contract ($50,000 over two years, RFQ 250386, due June 11, 2026), Bibb County Public Schools' LED field lighting installation at seven middle school practice fields (RFP due May 21, 2026), and Pinellas County School District's $1.68 million theater lighting renovations across three high school locations (bids due March 10–12, 2026). Gwinnett County has posted multiple quotation solicitations for LED fixtures, ballasts, and capacitors for park and water resource facilities. Recent activity shows strong procurement momentum through Q2 2026, with responses typically due within three to eight weeks of posting, and typical bid security requirements of five percent of contract value. Set-asides and prevailing wage requirements appear frequently in school district and federally funded projects.
