UNSPSC 78141807: Air traffic control service

UNSPSC 78141807 Air traffic control service is a Commodity code with a significant disconnect between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to air traffic control operational services, yet the recent solicitations posted under it span traffic signal construction and LED replacement, traffic data equipment parts, roadway pavement markings and temporary traffic control, and airport runway reconstruction — activities that fall under transportation infrastructure and traffic management rather than ATC facility operations or ATC staffing. The only solicitations directly aligned with the code's stated purpose are a Texas State University RFP for ATC simulation equipment and related services and a Peachtree City Airport Authority IFB for construction of a new Air Traffic Control Tower building at Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field. The broader mix of traffic signal, road pavement, and runway work suggests either that the code is being used as a catch-all for airport and traffic-related infrastructure or that misclassification is common in the source system.

Recent activity comes from a mix of issuing bodies including county commissioners (Okaloosa County, Florida; Pasco County, Florida), city procurement offices (Orlando, Madison, Fairburn, Georgia), a state university (Texas State University), an airport authority (Peachtree City Airport Authority, operating Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field), and a county department of aviation (Fulton County Department of Aviation, operating Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport). Geographic spread centers on Florida and Georgia, with activity also in Texas and Wisconsin. Representative recent solicitations include Okaloosa County's ITB PW 6826 for maintenance of traffic and pavement markings (due August 5, 2026), the City of Orlando's sole-source procurement S26-0509 for Wavetronix traffic data parts (challenge period closed July 9, 2026), Peachtree City Airport Authority's IFB for Air Traffic Control Tower construction at Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field (due July 14, 2026 with non-mandatory pre-bid June 25, 2026), and the Fulton County Department of Aviation's IFB for full-depth reconstruction of Runway 9L-27R at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a 35 percent SBE participation goal (due April 30, 2026, with field work commencing August 2027).
