UNSPSC 95121612: Airport control tower

The centralized tower in an airport that controls the arrival and departure of all planes

UNSPSC 95121612 Airport control tower, a Commodity code, addresses a narrow scope that does not align well with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers airport traffic control facilities and infrastructure, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for control tower design, construction, renovation, or related work. Instead, the block includes hangar development, apron rehabilitation, seismic compliance upgrades, utility master planning, airfield lighting and pavement work, and vertiport infrastructure — all airport capital projects but none involving control tower systems. This mismatch signals that the code either sees minimal activity in state and local procurement or is consistently misapplied when posted against actual solicitations.

The most decision-relevant entry is RFP 2026-035 from the City of Waco seeking a master developer for 240 acres at Waco Regional Airport, and several hangar site development and design-build hangar projects from Henry County, Georgia (Bids 27-18 and 27-19, both due October 8, 2026), and Beaufort County, South Carolina (design-build transient hangar at Beaufort Executive Airport, due May 8, 2026). These solicitations span airport authorities, city aviation departments, and county commissions in Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. Because the opportunities posted under this code do not reflect control tower work, the code appears inactive for state and local procurement of that commodity. Business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether control tower work is being sought under a different code or whether this category is simply not a priority for current state and local capital planning.
