UNSPSC 72141101: Airport runway construction service

The building and repair of airport runways, owned by others

UNSPSC 72141101 Airport runway construction service is a Commodity code that encompasses concrete and asphalt pavement rehabilitation, full-depth replacement, crack repair, and remarking of airport runways and associated taxiway work. State and local governments procure these services through a mix of city aviation departments, county airport authorities, Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division, and regional airport commissions. Recent solicitations show straightforward sealed-bid competitions for runway rehabilitation at municipal and regional airports across multiple states. The City of New Braunfels, Texas is requesting competitive sealed proposals for airport pavement rehabilitation at New Braunfels National Airport with a response date of August 5, 2026; the Hancock County Port & Harbor Commission (Mississippi) solicited sealed bids for mill and overlay of Taxiway A at Stennis International Airport with a deadline of May 28, 2026; and the City of Vidalia, Georgia is requesting sealed bids for concrete pavement rehabilitation of Runway 14/32 with a response date of August 6, 2026. Work typically includes full-depth panel replacement for failed sections, spall and crack repair, remarking, milling and overlay operations, and asphalt surface placement, often funded through FAA Airport Improvement Program or state aviation grants and subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy American, and Title VI civil rights compliance.

State and local procurement activity under this code clusters across Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division issues multiple sealed-bid solicitations annually for runway and taxiway rehabilitation at municipal airports statewide, including projects at Haskell, Albany, Corsicana, Palestine, Pineland, and Cherokee County airports, with Engineers' Estimates ranging from $1 million to $5.15 million. Georgia counties and cities—including Floyd County (Taxiway Bravo West Relocation at Richard B. Russell Regional Airport, bid deadline June 30, 2026), Barrow County (Runway 13-31 & 5-23 crack seal and marking, June 30, 2026), and the City of Douglas (Runway crack seal and remarking, June 18, 2026)—regularly solicit runway and taxiway pavement work. Florida airports including Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (Taxilane T rehabilitation, June 11, 2026), North Perry, and Page Field compete for construction services; Mississippi airports including Madison (Runway 17-35 rehabilitation, May 27, 2026), Stennis International, and Calhoun County also generate regular procurement activity. Opportunities typically allow 30 to 90 days from posting to sealed-bid opening, require 5 percent bid bonds and 100 percent performance and payment bonds, and specify liquidated damages in the range of $500 to $1,500 per calendar day for construction delays. The code is moderately active with consistent demand across a geographically distributed base of small-to-medium regional airports and municipal facilities.
