UNSPSC 46161501: Airport signaling systems

UNSPSC 46161501 Airport signaling systems is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure flight information display systems (FIDS), runway closure markers, compass rose magnetic surveys, airfield lighting infrastructure, and related airport signaling equipment and integration services under this code. The work spans software platforms and hardware components that display flight information, baggage details, gate assignments, emergency messaging, and wayfinding across airport terminals, as well as physical runway and taxiway markers that support safe flight operations. Issuing bodies include major commercial airport authorities, regional airport commissions, county aviation departments, and municipal airport operators. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Pinellas County (St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport), the City of Dallas Department of Aviation, the Savannah Airport Commission, and Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority have all posted recent opportunities under this code, with activity concentrated in mid-market commercial service and regional airports across the southeastern and southwestern United States.

Representative recent solicitations include the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's ITN 26-302 for design, configuration, implementation, operation, and maintenance of a Flight Information Display System at Orlando International Airport, with proposals due August 27, 2026, structured as an invitation to negotiate exploring technology options and pricing models rather than fixed specifications; the City of Salt Lake City's Request for Bid SLCI26088 for a single Hali-Brite LED lighted runway closure marker, with bids due April 16, 2026; and the Savannah Airport Commission's RFQ 2026-0008 for a terminal ramp sweeper, with responses due February 24, 2026. Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Utah have seen the most recent activity. Opportunities under this code typically require specialized airport industry expertise, manufacturer certifications, 24/7 operational support, compliance with FAA standards, and substantial insurance and bonding. Many solicitations are structured as multi-year service contracts with firm fixed pricing, 99 percent uptime guarantees, and performance obligations tied to federal airport funding or Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements.
