NIGP 95313: Aviation

NIGP 95313 Aviation is an Item code covering specialized professional services, equipment, and infrastructure work that state and local governments procure to support aircraft operations and airport facilities. State and local buyers under this code range from municipal airports and county aviation authorities to state law enforcement agencies and school districts, purchasing services such as airline liaison and project coordination, aviation safety equipment including helmets and protective gear, bulk fuel delivery for law enforcement and public-safety aircraft, hangar construction and renovation, and insurance brokerage for aviation assets. The issuing bodies include airport authorities (Orlando International Airport, Florida Keys Marathon International Airport), state cabinets and law enforcement agencies (Kentucky State Police, Tucson Police Department), counties (Monroe County, Florida; Clarke County, Georgia), and cities (Tucson). Kentucky State Police has posted multiple re-solicitations for the same aviation helmet procurement within a six-week window, signaling sustained demand for specialized protective equipment.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Kentucky, with additional procurement activity in Arizona and Georgia. Representative solicitations include Orlando International Airport's ITN 26581 for an Airline Technical Representative position due August 12, 2026 with an estimated contract value of approximately $7.5 million—a multi-year professional services role coordinating airline requirements through capital improvement phases; the Commonwealth of Kentucky's multiple aviation helmet RFBs (most recent RFB75826000006682, due July 9, 2026) for 15 LH250 dual-visor helmets with integrated communications and lighting systems for the Kentucky State Police Cannabis Suppression Branch, requiring 24-month warranty and initial delivery by September 30, 2026; Monroe County, Florida's RFP 635 for hangar demolition and construction (13,000 square feet minimum, due July 30, 2026) at Florida Keys Marathon International Airport; and the City of Tucson Police Department's RFP 260210 for bulk Jet-A fuel delivery to its Air Support Unit, due May 28, 2026, with estimated annual consumption of approximately 50,000 gallons and weekly delivery requirements. Insurance and fuel services solicitations appear periodically; the Kentucky helmet procurement has been reissued after cancellation, suggesting either specification refinement or initial response shortfalls.
