UNSPSC 25131507 Private or business propeller aircraft (Commodity) covers fixed-wing aircraft acquisitions and leasing by state and local governments, including hangar space, used aircraft procurement, and aerial service contracting. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include airport authorities, county purchasing departments acting on behalf of operational agencies (sheriff's offices, public health mosquito control programs), and cooperative purchasing consortia.
