UNSPSC 72121410: Airport terminal and hanger construction

The building of airport terminals and hangars owned by others

UNSPSC 72121410 Airport terminal and hanger construction (Commodity) encompasses the design, construction, and rehabilitation of airport hangars, terminals, and related airfield facilities. State and local governments buy this code for new hangar development, apron and taxiway rehabilitation, terminal renovations, airfield infrastructure improvements, and seismic compliance upgrades at public airports. The work spans full design-build and construction-manager-at-risk delivery, site development with utilities and drainage, and specialized projects like transient hangar construction and airfield pavement rehabilitation. Issuers include municipal airports, county aviation authorities, regional medical centers with aviation ties, and special-purpose airport development entities; Greater Orlando Aviation Authority and Santa Clara County emerge as repeat buyers across multiple project phases and facilities. Representative recent solicitations include Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's design-build services for Heintzelman Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation at Orlando International Airport (RFP, January 21, 2026 response due), Construction Manager at Risk services for Sacramento International Airport's Airfield Maintenance Facility (County of Sacramento, RFQ, November 19, 2026 response due), and Henry County's site development and design-build hangar projects at Atlanta Speedway Airport (sealed IFB, October 8, 2026 deadline).

Recent activity clusters heavily in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in California and across the Southeast and Texas. Florida authorities (City of DeLand, City of Kissimmee, Beaufort County South Carolina, and Orlando area airports) dominate terminal, apron, and hangar work. Georgia counties (Henry County, Early County, Jekyll Island Authority) solicit hangar site development and airport master planning. California (Sacramento and Santa Clara County) pursues pavement rehabilitation and hospital seismic upgrades. Project values range from $710,000 (DeLand apron rehabilitation) to $18 million (Sacramento maintenance facility) and $132 million aggregate (Hillsborough County fire program over five years). Procurement instruments include design-build RFPs, construction-manager-at-risk RFQs, sealed bids for infrastructure work, and prequalification requirements (particularly Santa Clara County seismic compliance projects). Georgia Department of Transportation prequalification and California contractors licensing are hard eligibility gates on many solicitations. Federal funding (FAA Airport Improvement Program, FEMA grants) and state transportation funds drive the work; set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction, with some projects naming DBE, local vendor, and veteran business enterprise participation goals.
