UNSPSC 25131700: Military fixed wing aircraft

UNSPSC 25131700 Military fixed wing aircraft is a Class code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. Of the two opportunities tagged under this code in the available record, only one—the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's acquisition of two Cessna 206 fixed wing aircraft—aligns with the code's nominal scope. The FDLE solicitation, posted July 15, 2026 with bids due August 5, 2026, specifies aircraft manufactured 2017 or newer with fewer than 2,500 total airframe and engine hours, fully integrated Garmin G1000 NXI avionics, backup electronic flight information system, autopilot, transponder, and air conditioning, with seating configured for law enforcement mission consoles. The second opportunity—Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department's trade-in of confiscated firearms for Heckler & Koch rifles—is explicitly unrelated to aircraft procurement and appears to have been mislabeled under this code.

State and local activity under this code is sparse and geographically limited. The FDLE in Florida represents the only relevant recent buyer in the record. The ITB format and firm-price bidding structure with 60-day holdover, combined with the specialized avionics and law enforcement mission-specific configuration, signal that aircraft procurement under this code targets state law enforcement and public safety agencies rather than military or national defense buyers. Bidders must register in MyFloridaMarketPlace, provide E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace certifications, and scrutinized-companies-list attestations; the FDLE bears no pre-award or post-award costs unless explicitly included in the bid price, and payment is due within 40 days of invoice receipt and goods delivery per Florida Statutes Section 215.422(b).
