UNSPSC 95121614: Runway

A single strip dedicated to the departure and arrival of airplanes

UNSPSC 95121614 Runway, a Commodity code, encompasses airfield pavement rehabilitation, taxiway and apron reconstruction, lighting and electrical system upgrades, and related airport infrastructure improvements. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily airport authorities and aviation departments at municipal, county, and regional airports, with recent activity concentrated among Florida municipalities (DeLand, Daytona Beach, Leesburg, Kissimmee, Ocala), Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, and county airport systems in Georgia and California. The work being solicited ranges from comprehensive taxiway geometric corrections and full-depth pavement reconstruction to targeted apron milling and overlay, drainage infrastructure, lighting fixture replacement, and FAA-compliance-driven safety-area upgrades. Representative recent opportunities include the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's Airsides 1 & 3 Pond Dredging project (IFB 26-995-IFB, bids due October 23, 2026) involving approximately 41,500 cubic yards of sediment removal and embankment restoration at stormwater management ponds; Daytona Beach International Airport's Taxiway P3 and P4 Improvements (ITB No. 26-B-77IF, bids due April 24, 2026) addressing geometric deficiencies and replacing 20-year-old lighting and signage systems, estimated at $4,851,000; and the City of Ocala's Concrete Pads & T-Hangar Taxilane Rehabilitation (ITB# AIR/261130, bids due October 23, 2026) encompassing mill-and-overlay and new concrete pad construction across approximately 109,000 square feet.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Daytona Beach, Leesburg, Kissimmee, Ocala, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando) and Texas (Ennis Municipal Airport, Bryan's Coulter Airfield, Zapata County), with single-opportunity presence in Georgia (Charlotte Douglas International Airport) and California (Sacramento International Airport). Federal funding through the FAA Airport Improvement Program is common, triggering Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements, Buy American preferences, and DBE participation goals ranging from 0 to 10 percent. Bonding typically requires 5 percent bid securities and 100 percent performance and payment bonds. Contract terms generally span 43 to 270 calendar days to substantial completion, with liquidated damages of $500 to $5,600 per day for delays. Pre-bid conferences and mandatory site visits are standard; competitive sealed bidding (IFB/ITB) dominates, though design-build and construction-manager-at-risk vehicles appear on larger, longer-duration taxiway and runway projects. The code shows consistent activity, reflecting ongoing federal and state investment in airfield safety and capacity improvements.
