UNSPSC 25131505: Cargo jet aircraft

UNSPSC 25131505 Cargo jet aircraft (Commodity) covers state and local procurement of aircraft and related aviation services, but the recent opportunities record shows minimal activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recorded opportunities include three aircraft purchases by education and public-safety entities (Holmes Community College acquiring used Cessna 172M trainers in February and April 2026; Jefferson County Sheriff's Office seeking a used King Air 90 or equivalent in April 2026), aircraft broker services procured by the Texas A&M University System in January 2026, pilot and technician training contracted by the New Jersey State Police and Forest Fire Service in March 2026, aerial larvicide application services by Pinellas County in April 2026, and a law enforcement equipment cooperative procurement by Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties in June 2026. The Cessna 172M and King Air acquisitions represent general-aviation trainer and operational aircraft rather than cargo jets; the remaining solicitations—broker services, pilot training, mosquito control, and law enforcement equipment—fall outside the cargo jet category entirely. The issuing bodies span educational institutions, county sheriff and public works departments, state police, and a regional cooperative, but none of these opportunities involve cargo jet procurement or leasing.

Geographic activity appears scattered across Texas, Mississippi, New Jersey, Florida, and Washington state, with no geographic concentration evident. The code shows minimal relevant procurement volume—only two opportunities (Holmes Community College's dual Cessna 172M bids and Jefferson County's King Air search) relate substantively to aircraft acquisition, and neither involves cargo aircraft. The February 2026 Holmes Community College sealed bid (due February 10) and April 2026 sealed bid (due April 16) both included electronic reverse-auction components. The Jefferson County IFB 26-017/MR closed April 15, 2026. Vendors should note that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local demand for cargo jet services; procurement activity under the code appears limited and does not align with the cargo jet designation. Opportunities are scattered and infrequent, making focused pursuit of this code impractical for firms targeting cargo aircraft sales or leasing to state and local buyers.
