UNSPSC 78142219: Airport maps, networks studies

A geographic information system (GIS) is a system that creates, manages, analyzes, and maps all types of data. GIS connects data to a map, integrating location data (where things are) with all types of descriptive information.

UNSPSC 78142219 Airport maps, networks studies is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes cartographic and engineering study services for airport planning and infrastructure analysis. However, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span baggage handling system operations and maintenance (Lee County Port Authority), construction management services for airfield pavement and facility projects (Sacramento County Department of Airports), transit system software procurement (Florida county), commercial vehicle management and ground transportation systems at airports (Broward County), environmental planning services (Sacramento County, Athens-Clarke County), passenger flow management technology (City of Phoenix), IT infrastructure maintenance (Atlanta Department of Aviation), curbside management operations (Atlanta Department of Aviation), air traffic control tower construction (Peachtree City Airport Authority), rental car center operations (Atlanta Department of Aviation), rental car fueling facility management (Broward County Aviation), passenger boarding bridge and ground power unit procurement (Dallas Department of Aviation), and airport corporate hangar redevelopment (Peachtree City Airport Authority). These procurements—spanning operations, construction, software, and facility management—fall outside the scope of airport mapping and network studies work.

The issuing bodies are predominantly airport authorities and aviation departments at cities and counties across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California, with activity concentrated in the Southeast and California. No recent opportunities in this dataset represent the actual commodity scope of airport maps, network studies, or related planning analysis work. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the opportunities posted under it appear to reflect administrative tagging rather than genuine alignment with the code's nominal scope. Firms pursuing this code should verify that their target opportunities are correctly classified as planning or study work before investing in pursuit.
