UNSPSC 78142213: Aviaition capacity analysis

In general Airport Capacity Planning and Assessment defines all activities related to the capability of an airport system to handle a certain demand in-flight and passengers.

UNSPSC 78142213 Aviation capacity analysis (Commodity) encompasses flight simulation equipment and software, FIDS (Flight Information Display System) platform design and operation, airline technical representation for airport projects, and related aviation operations support services. State and local aviation authorities, school districts with aviation training programs, and airports are the primary issuing bodies. The work solicited ranges from procurement of flight training devices and simulator software—as in the School Board of Volusia County's single-source purchase of Redbird Advanced and Basic Aviation Training Devices with professional development and custom training scenarios—to large-scale systems design and seven-year operations contracts like the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's FIDS platform implementation spanning 1,000+ display devices across landside and airside terminals serving 56.4 million annual passengers. Professional services also fall under the code, including technical liaison roles between airlines and airport capital project teams, such as Orlando International Airport's specialized Airline Technical Representative position coordinating airline input across design, construction, and operational readiness phases of major initiatives including APM replacement and terminal optimization.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where the School Board of Volusia County posted a single-source RFP on October 19, 2026 (protest deadline May 11, 2026) with an estimated annual not-to-exceed expenditure of $1 million for Redbird flight simulation equipment and software; the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 26-302) on October 5, 2026 with a response deadline of August 27, 2026 for FIDS design, configuration, implementation, and seven-year operations and maintenance covering the ninth-busiest U.S. airport; and Orlando International Airport solicited an Airline Technical Representative on August 13, 2026 (deadline August 12, 2026) with an estimated contract value of approximately $7.5 million for project liaison services exceeding 12 months. The code shows limited recent state and local activity overall, with the three Florida aviation opportunities representing the bulk of posted solicitations under this Commodity classification.
