UNSPSC 46161528: Airport warning light

A light facility that is helpful for navigation or hazard indication that may hinder for airport facilities or other navigation activities.

UNSPSC 46161528 Airport warning light is a Commodity-tier code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers lighting equipment for airfield safety and navigation, yet the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC show little direct alignment with airport warning lights as a discrete product line. Of the fourteen recent state and local opportunities tagged to or near this code, most involve broader airport infrastructure—flight information display systems, passenger boarding bridges, ground power units, ramp sweepers, access control systems, runway lighting (HIRL) systems, and weather observation equipment—or are administrative notices unrelated to procurement. Only two opportunities touch lighting systems: the Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority's January 2026 sealed bid for High Intensity Runway Lighting (HIRL) replacement in Eastman, Georgia (due March 4, 2026, ITB format), and the City of St. Petersburg's May 2026 quote for two Hali-Brite Lighted LED X Runway Closure Markers with Covers for Albert Whitted Airport (due May 26, 2026, RFQ format). These represent specialized airfield safety lighting rather than warning lights as a standalone commodity. The issuing bodies span state airports, county aviation authorities, and municipal airport departments across Florida, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Mississippi—a geographically dispersed set of relatively smaller regional and municipal facilities rather than major hubs.

The code shows activity primarily among independent airport authorities and municipal aviation departments rather than state transportation departments or consolidated airport systems. The two lighting-specific opportunities—the St. Petersburg runway closure markers quote and the Heart of Georgia HIRL replacement bid—represent capital equipment replacement tied to FAA and airfield safety standards rather than routine maintenance or small component procurement. Both solicitations require specialized compliance certifications (FAA Advisory Circular AC 150/5345-55A for the closure markers; Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wages and federal bonding for the HIRL work) and substantial insurance and bonding. Recent activity under this code is sparse and sporadic; the code may serve as a secondary tag for lighting components bundled within larger airfield infrastructure projects rather than as a primary classification for dedicated warning-light procurement. Business development professionals should monitor the code for capital replacement cycles at smaller regional airports but expect infrequent opportunities and competition weighted toward established airfield equipment suppliers with FAA compliance and federal project experience.
