UNSPSC 78142218: Airport environmental impact studies

Studies of primary environmental issues associated with the operation of airports such as GHG emissions, noise pollution, land utilization, waste, and congestion.

UNSPSC 78142218 Airport environmental impact studies (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are predominantly baggage handling operations, airport construction and maintenance, transit systems, professional services for airport planning, and ground transportation management—none of which constitute environmental impact studies. Lee County Port Authority's solicitation for baggage handling system operation and maintenance at Southwest Florida International Airport, Sacramento County's CMAR services for airfield maintenance and taxiway rehabilitation, and Collier County's professional services for airport master planning and environmental assessments each address legitimate airport needs but fall outside the core environmental impact assessment work the code describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (California), counties (Lee, Sacramento, Broward, Collier, Fayette), cities (Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, Lubbock, Waco), and special-purpose authorities (airport authorities and aviation departments), indicating broad geographic and institutional reach across airport operators nationwide.

The source shows no recent state or local RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs explicitly soliciting standalone environmental impact studies. The closest proxy is Sacramento County Department of Airports' on-call environmental planning services RFQ (due October 13, 2026), which includes NEPA and CEQA documentation, environmental technical studies, and environmental permitting support across Sacramento International, Mather, Sacramento Executive, and Franklin Field airports with a maximum contract value of $3.5 million over three years and one optional two-year extension. Recent procurement activity concentrates in Florida (Broward and Collier Counties, Lee County Port Authority, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority), Georgia (Peachtree City Airport Authority, City of Atlanta, Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County), California (Sacramento County), and Texas (City of Dallas, City of Waco, City of Lubbock), with scattered single opportunities in Colorado. The code appears underutilized relative to the volume of airport operations and capital projects currently under solicitation; environmental impact work is embedded within larger professional services contracts rather than procured as discrete studies.
