UNSPSC 78142206: Aviation security services

Services provided to airlines and airports to enable safe operation and flexible flight processes in compliance with the required security standards through inspection and audits.

UNSPSC 78142206 Aviation security services is a Commodity code, yet the recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly aligned with that scope. Of the 45 opportunities posted between July and October 2026, only one—Ontario International Airport Authority's RFP 2026RFP083 for airport security services—squarely matches the code's nominal definition. The overwhelming majority of recent solicitations under this code tag cover general armed and unarmed security guard services at courthouses, detention facilities, government offices, transit facilities, libraries, and municipal venues; firewatch and armored car services; and off-duty police officer scheduling—none of which constitute aviation security in the traditional sense of TSA-equivalent screening, access control, or airside operations. The code appears to be a catch-all categorization within procurement systems for security-related services broadly rather than a focused taxonomy for aviation-specific security work.

The issuing-body mix spans state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Workforce Commission, Texas Department of Corrections), counties (Collin, Fulton, San Bernardino, Dorchester), cities (Phoenix, Dallas, Fort Worth, Detroit, Daytona Beach, Santa Fe, Lubbock, Newark, Atlanta), public authorities (Ontario International Airport Authority, Canaveral Port Authority, Orange County Transportation Authority, Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Polk County), universities (Tarleton State, University of Mississippi), special districts (Hall County Library System, Rockland County Department of Social Services), and one cooperative purchasing vehicle (Purchasing Cooperative of America). The most frequently appearing issuing bodies are state health and human services agencies and Texas municipalities. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (23 opportunities), Florida (10), Georgia (4), and California (4), with smaller clusters in New York, South Carolina, Michigan, New Jersey, and New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's armed and unarmed security guard IFB for Region 3 (Dallas-Fort Worth area), due August 11, 2026; Volusia County's RFP for event staffing and entry security at Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, proposals due December 9, 2026; the City of Fort Worth's RFP for armed and unarmed security across multiple departments, due October 15, 2026; and the Ontario International Airport Authority's RFP for airport security personnel, due October 19, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with true aviation security—only a single airport-specific solicitation—and most postings reflect general security guard procurement across diverse public sector facilities and events.
