UNSPSC 25131506: Commercial passenger jet aircraft

UNSPSC 25131506 Commercial passenger jet aircraft (Commodity) sees minimal state and local procurement activity. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not align with its nominal scope — the opportunities solicited include used general-aviation aircraft (Cessna 172M, King Air 90, Mitsubishi MU2/J), aircraft broker services, pilot training, and aerial larvicide application services, none of which constitute commercial passenger jet aircraft procurement. The code itself describes high-capacity turbine-powered airliners used for commercial passenger transport; state and local governments do not operate or purchase such aircraft for their core missions. Issuing bodies in the available records include two community colleges (Holmes Community College in Mississippi), a county sheriff's office (Jefferson County, Texas), a state university system (Texas A&M), a state police organization (New Jersey State Police and Forest Fire Service), and a county mosquito-control agency (Pinellas County, Florida). The mismatch between the code's definition and what these entities are actually buying indicates either tagging error or use of a catch-all aviation code for heterogeneous aircraft procurements.

Geographic activity includes Texas, Mississippi, Florida, New Jersey, and Minnesota (through a Sourcewell cooperative). The representative recent opportunities are Holmes Community College's sealed bid for a used 1974-or-newer Cessna 172M aircraft (IFB, due February 10, 2026, with electronic reverse auction on February 17, 2026); Jefferson County Sheriff's Office's re-bid for a used King Air 90 or equivalent to replace a 1974 Mitsubishi MU2/J (IFB 26-017/MR, due April 15, 2026); Texas A&M University System's RFQ for aircraft broker services (due January 28, 2026); and Pinellas County Public Works' ITQ for aerial larvicide application services (due April 23, 2026). No current state or local opportunities match the code's stated scope of commercial passenger jet aircraft.
