UNSPSC 78142217: Quality and environmental management system or airport & ATS

An EMS ensures that an organisation has identified, and is managing, its environmental risks in a systematic manner

UNSPSC 78142217 Quality and environmental management system or airport & ATS, a Commodity code, encompasses the operation, management, and maintenance of airport systems and facilities—particularly baggage handling infrastructure, ground transportation management platforms, IT infrastructure support systems, and environmental planning services. State and local governments procuring under this code seek vendors to provide comprehensive facility operations, regulatory compliance oversight, system diagnostics and repairs, emergency response capabilities, and technical support aligned with FAA, TSA, and environmental standards. Airport authorities dominate the buyer base, with port authorities, aviation departments, and municipal airport operators issuing most recent opportunities. Lee County Port Authority in Southwest Florida, the County of Sacramento Department of Airports, Broward County Aviation Department, the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation, and the City of Phoenix all posted substantial solicitations within the past six months, reflecting sustained capital and operational investment in airport infrastructure modernization and system reliability.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Georgia, and California, with notable activity at major commercial service airports and reliever facilities. Lee County Port Authority solicited comprehensive baggage handling system operation and maintenance for Southwest Florida International Airport under RFP 260073LB, with proposals due September 21, 2026, requiring 24/7 support, parts inventory management, and performance standards exceeding 97 percent monthly delivery and a two-minute jam response time.
