UNSPSC 95121614: Runway

A single strip dedicated to the departure and arrival of airplanes

UNSPSC 95121614 Runway, a Commodity code, covers concrete and asphalt pavement rehabilitation, reconstruction, and marking work on airport runways—work that state and local airport authorities and transportation departments actively solicit. Recent opportunities show state and local jurisdictions procuring full-depth panel replacement, spall and crack repair, milling and overlay, complete runway remarking, and surface preparation ahead of new pavement placement. The issuing bodies span Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Aviation Division, county airport authorities (Sacramento County, Broward County, Harris County, Burke County, Greene County, Barrow County, Hancock County, Calhoun County), municipal airport operators (New Braunfels, Vidalia, Okolona, Thomasville, Douglas, Madison, Hazlehurst), and regional airport commissions, with TxDOT appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple Texas sites. Work scopes typically include mobilization, pavement demolition, subgrade preparation, base course and asphalt placement, pavement markings, taxiway edge lighting installation, and drainage or erosion control as secondary items; some solicitations bundle runway work with apron or taxiway rehabilitation in phased construction. Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage compliance, FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-2 adherence, performance and payment bonds (typically 100 percent of contract value), and bid security (typically 5 percent) appear consistently across federal and state-funded projects.

The geographic spread is heavily concentrated in Texas (TxDOT Aviation Division projects in Brenham, Palestine, Corsicana, Rusk, Giddings-Lee County, Cherokee County, Haskell, Albany, Mesquite, Fredricksburg, Pineland, Cleburne, Paris, Dalhart, Waco, and Denton County) and Georgia (Vidalia, Douglas, Burke County, Thomasville, Greene County, Barrow County, Floyd County, DeKalb County, and Cobb County), with additional activity in Florida (Broward County, Fort Lauderdale, Cobb County), Mississippi (Okolona, Hazlehurst, Madison, Pittsboro, Stennis International), and scattered solicitations in other states. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Sacramento's RFQ for CMAR services on the Sacramento International Airport Taxiway A, A3, and A13 Pavement Rehabilitation Project (due July 30, 2026, with construction projected to commence by July 2027 and base bid completion by 2030 under a two-phase GMP structure); the City of New Braunfels, Texas RFP for airport pavement rehabilitation at New Braunfels National Airport (due August 5, 2026, with a pre-proposal conference July 23, 2026); the City of Vidalia, Georgia IFB for Runway 14/32 concrete pavement rehabilitation (due August 6, 2026); and TxDOT Aviation Division sealed bid solicitations at multiple Texas airports with engineers' estimates ranging from roughly $1 million to $5.2 million for base bid work. Liquidated damages clauses ($500 to $1,500 per day depending on jurisdiction and project type), substantial completion windows (35 to 240 consecutive calendar days typical), and FAA Airport Improvement Program funding with associated federal compliance requirements (Buy American, Title VI civil rights, debarment) characterize the market. DBE and HUB participation goals range from zero percent in many TxDOT procurements to 8.78 percent in Georgia projects, reflecting state-level set-aside variation.
