UNSPSC 81102301: Avionics design

UNSPSC 81102301 Avionics design, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement for architectural and engineering services supporting airport infrastructure, facility design, and aerospace-related technical projects rather than avionics systems specifically. Recent solicitations show state and local jurisdictions soliciting A/E design services for terminal expansions, parking facilities, runway rehabilitation, and airfield system improvements at public airports; planning and environmental consulting for airport capital improvement plans; and specialized engineering for aerospace development and space propulsion infrastructure. The code also encompasses commissioning authority services for high-performance facilities and general engineering consultant support for large transportation and airfield projects. Issuing bodies include airport authorities and city governments operating regional and municipal airports (Santa Fe Regional Airport, Athens-Ben Epps Airport, Waycross-Ware County Airport, Thomson-McDuffie County Airport), counties (Chatham County, Madison County, Ware County, DeKalb County), transit and aerospace entities (George Mason University on behalf of NASA, Texas Space Commission, Texas State Technical College), and municipalities. Several jurisdictions post master-service-agreement or indefinite-delivery solicitations for on-call consulting, indicating sustained demand for A/E capacity at general aviation facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia (multiple county and municipal airport design and planning RFQs), Florida (Waco Regional Airport in Texas, Santa Fe Regional Airport in New Mexico), and Virginia (George Mason University's NASA spacecraft procurement)—with outlier activity in cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Santa Fe's RFP FY26RFP037 for A/E services at Santa Fe Regional Airport rental car parking and facilities expansion (RFP, proposals due February 20, 2026); George Mason University's RFP GMUKS090326 for a flight-qualified spacecraft bus and integration services for the NASA Landolt Mission funded at $19.5 million (RFP, proposals due September 23, 2026, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference September 10, 2026); Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County's RFQ #27008 for a five-year master A/E services agreement at Athens-Ben Epps Airport covering approximately $60.8 million in anticipated projects (RFQ, proposals due October 5, 2026); and the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for General Engineering Consultant and Owner's Verification Firm services on the I-75 South Express Lanes project (SOQs due August 24, 2026). Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP 26RFP090826 for runway equipment and specialized airfield systems available to member public entities (proposals due September 8, 2026).
