UNSPSC 95121613: Airfield

The compendium of building structures and runways that are used for multiple airline operations

UNSPSC 95121613 Airfield—a Commodity code—encompasses concrete and asphalt pavement rehabilitation, reconstruction, and remarking of airport runways, taxiways, and aprons, along with associated infrastructure improvements such as lighting, drainage, and electrical work. State and local governments buy this work through sealed competitive bidding processes led by city and county airport authorities, regional airports commissions, state aviation divisions, and county boards of commissioners. The mix of issuing bodies reflects a blend of municipal airports (smaller regional facilities), county-operated general-aviation airports, and state-managed airfields; Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division emerges as a particularly active buyer, issuing multiple solicitations for runway and taxiway rehabilitation across the state. Scope spans full-depth pavement replacement, mill-and-overlay operations, crack sealing, edge lighting installation and replacement, pavement marking, drainage and electrical improvements, and in some cases taxiway relocation or expansion. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Sacramento Department of Airports requesting Statements of Qualifications for a Construction Manager at Risk on the Sacramento International Airport Taxiway A, A3, and A13 Pavement Rehabilitation Project (due July 30, 2026, IFB/SOQ hybrid with Phase 1 preconstruction and Phase 2 GMP-based construction); the City of New Braunfels, Texas requesting sealed proposals for Airport Pavement Rehabilitation at New Braunfels National Airport (due August 5, 2026, RFP); Broward County Aviation Division requesting bids for Taxiway reconstruction and rehabilitation at North Perry Airport (due August 3, 2026, IFB); and Floyd County, Georgia requesting sealed bids for Taxiway Bravo West Relocation at Richard B. Russell Regional Airport (due June 30, 2026, IFB with 80 line items, Davis-Bacon compliance, 2.5% minority and 6.9% female participation goals).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with strong recent procurement volume from the Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division on projects spanning Corsicana, Dalhart, Albany, Haskell, Jackson, Mesquite, Pineland, and Palestine. Georgia shows substantial concurrent activity through Floyd County, Broward County (Florida), and multiple county airport boards across the Southeast. Federal funding under FAA Airport Improvement Program grants or DOT Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds drives much of this activity; Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, Buy American preferences, Title VI Civil Rights compliance, and DBE participation goals (ranging from 0% to 8.78% depending on the jurisdiction and project) are standard contract conditions. Bonding requirements—typically 2% to 5% bid bonds with 100% performance and payment bonds—and liquidated damages provisions (ranging from $500 to $1,500 per calendar day) are consistent across solicitations. Several procurements are structured as IFBs with firm fixed prices and unit-price bid schedules; others use RFP or CMAR approaches for larger or more complex projects. Pre-bid conferences, site visits, and Q&A cycles are routine, with addenda and clarifications issued regularly as documents are refined. This code remains active and competitive; pursuit depends on geographic focus and bonding capacity to match local project scales and federal compliance sophistication.
