UNSPSC 78142211: Aviation ANS & ATM software maintenance/development services

Communications, navigation, and surveillance systems, employing digital technologies, including satellite systems together with various levels of automation, applied in support of a seamless global air traffic management system.

UNSPSC 78142211 Aviation ANS & ATM software maintenance/development services is a Commodity code that encompasses geospatial data services, GIS platform development, and mapping infrastructure work actually being procured by state and local governments today—a significant divergence from the code's nominal scope in aviation-sector software. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include utility authorities, county transportation departments, city IT and planning offices, fire departments, state police agencies, transit authorities, and university systems. Recent solicitations show work spanning enterprise GIS platform hosting and cloud integration (City of Detroit seeking cloud-based geospatial hosting for 2,000+ users); LiDAR and aerial imagery acquisition with strict technical specifications for municipal asset inventories (City of Midland requesting QL1 topographic capture covering 390 square miles; City of Waco procuring regional digital orthoimagery and impervious surface mapping); utility network migration and implementation services (Kissimmee Utility Authority's three-year migration to modernized Utility Network platform with ArcGIS Enterprise configuration); dispatch network redesign and infrastructure work (South Florida Regional Transportation Authority's enterprise network redesign spanning six data centers and forty-nine wayside locations with fiber migration); professional GIS consulting and surveying services on as-needed basis (City of Altamonte Springs and City of Fairburn); and flood forecasting and watershed planning systems (Hillsborough County's $850,000 compound flood forecasting platform; City of Tallahassee watershed master plan with GIS analysis and hydrologic modeling). The mix of issuing bodies reflects municipal IT modernization, utility infrastructure upgrades, and public-safety dispatch system improvements across dozens of jurisdictions.

The code shows active geographic spread across Florida (Kissimmee, Altamonte Springs, Tampa Bay region, Tallahassee, Marion County, Orlando), Texas (Midland, Waco, Dallas, Lubbock, Austin area), Georgia (Mableton, Decatur, Fairburn, Union City), and smaller recent activity in Arkansas (Pulaski County), New York (Rockland County), Michigan (Detroit), and Oregon (state police). Representative recent opportunities include the Kissimmee Utility Authority RFP 26-028-SH (utility network migration and implementation, June 12, 2026 deadline, passed; three firms shortlisted for August 13 oral interviews); City of Midland RFP 27000010 (LiDAR QL1 and geospatial data acquisition covering 390 square miles, October 28, 2026 deadline, with award anticipated December 15, 2026); Hillsborough County RFP 2600364 (compound flood forecasting system at $850,000 over four years, September 11, 2026 deadline, six proposals received); South Florida Regional Transportation Authority RFP 26-011 (dispatch network redesign, November 3, 2026 deadline, six-month term with milestone-based payment across seven phases); and City of Detroit RFP 546289 (cloud-based GIS platform hosting and enterprise mapping, August 28, 2026 deadline, with Detroit equalization credits available to Detroit-headquartered or small business vendors). The code shows no relevant recent activity in aviation or air traffic management software—the nominal scope remains dormant at the state and local level while GIS, geospatial, and mapping infrastructure work dominates the actual procurement stream.
