UNSPSC 25131900: Military rotary wing aircraft

UNSPSC 25131900 Military rotary wing aircraft is a Class code covering aircraft systems, avionics, and mission equipment that state and local governments procure to maintain and upgrade their rotary-wing fleets. The recent solicitations show acquisition of specialized systems and components rather than the aircraft themselves: TFO (Tactical Flight Officer) console modifications, multi-sensor surveillance equipment, intercom systems, imaging processors, and search-and-rescue communication equipment. These procurements reflect the modernization and capability-enhancement activity typical of state aviation units maintaining operational readiness and mission-specific functionality. Issuing bodies under this code are dominated by the Florida State Guard (operating under Leon County jurisdiction), which has posted five single-source acquisitions since late February 2026. The pattern of sole-source determinations reflects the agency's reliance on proprietary, specialized equipment (TRAKKA surveillance systems, Axnes intercom systems, Overwatch Imaging processors, CENTUM Lifeseeker SAR equipment) where single-source justification rests on existing fleet compatibility, proprietary technology, or the original designer's exclusive technical documentation.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, where the State Guard has posted all five recent opportunities spanning February through May 2026. Representative acquisitions include the TFO console modification for two Bell UH-1 helicopters (Solicitation SS15734, posted April 23, 2026, due May 14, 2026, estimated value $600,000) from Daedalus Solutions Inc., and the TRAKKA Systems TC-375 multi-sensor surveillance equipment procurement (Solicitation SS15542, posted April 1, 2026, due April 22, 2026, estimated value $2,018,769 for three units). The Axnes BST35 intercom system acquisition (Solicitation SS15376, posted March 19, 2026, due April 9, 2026, $64,000) and the Overwatch Imaging ASO Processor systems (Solicitation SS15235, posted February 27, 2026, due March 20, 2026, $373,125) show sustained investment in communication and sensor capabilities. All five procurements are designated single-source under Florida Statutes Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), with protest procedures directed to FSGPurchasing@floridastateguard.fl.gov. No set-aside or disadvantaged-enterprise designations appear in the documentation.
