UNSPSC 25131508: Private or business jet aircraft

UNSPSC 25131508 Private or business jet aircraft is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of used and new aircraft, primarily for operational government functions including law enforcement, emergency services, and facility management. Recent solicitations show the code applied to aircraft acquisitions and leasing, though the actual scope of activity is narrow and concentrated in specialized use cases. The Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority (SARAA) is leasing hangar space (a facility rather than an aircraft per se), and Jefferson County, Texas, is acquiring a used King Air 90 or equivalent for its Sheriff's Office — a genuinely relevant recent opportunity. Pinellas County, Florida, procures aerial application services using contractor-furnished aircraft, and a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment appears to encompass a broad array of goods where the aircraft component, if any, remains unclear. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily county purchasing departments, regional airport authorities, and special-purpose districts. The issuing bodies tend to be repeat users within aviation or emergency-services functions, though the frequency of activity is low.

Activity is geographically scattered across Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, and parts of the Pacific Northwest and Minnesota cooperative sphere, with no concentration in any single region. Jefferson County Purchasing Department (Beaumont, Texas) issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB 26-017/MR) on May 14, 2026, to procure a used King Air 90 or equivalent aircraft manufactured in 1991 or later with fewer than 9,000 frame hours, with a sealed-bid deadline of April 15, 2026 (note: the posted date predates the due date, indicating a re-bid). The Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority posted an RFP on August 6, 2026, for hangar leasing at Capital City Executive Airport in Pennsylvania, with responses due August 28, 2026, though this is a real-property lease rather than aircraft procurement. Pinellas County Public Works (Florida) issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ #26-0443-ITQ) on April 23, 2026, for aerial larvicide application services using contractor aircraft, with Certified Small Business Enterprises receiving procurement preference. The overall activity level under this code is sparse relative to broader state and local commodity categories; procurement volumes are episodic and driven by agency-specific operational needs rather than sustained demand.
