UNSPSC 25131906: Tilt rotor wing aircraft

UNSPSC 25131906 Tilt rotor wing aircraft is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under the code involve fixed-wing aircraft procurement and aviation services — used single and twin-engine aircraft for training and operational use, aircraft broker services, and pilot and technician training — rather than tilt-rotor aircraft. The issuing bodies include community colleges (Holmes Community College, Mississippi), county sheriff offices (Jefferson County, Texas), county public works departments (Pinellas County, Florida), state university systems (Texas A&M University System), and state police and forest fire services (New Jersey). None of the recent solicitations target tilt-rotor platforms specifically.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Texas, Mississippi, Florida, New Jersey, and Minnesota (through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing). Representative opportunities include Jefferson County Sheriff's Office issuing IFB 26017MR in May 2026 for a used King Air 90 or equivalent aircraft with response due April 15, 2026; Holmes Community College issuing sealed bid solicitations in January and March 2026 for used Cessna 172M aircraft for flight training with responses due February 10 and April 16, 2026; Pinellas County Public Works issuing ITQ 260443 in April 2026 for aerial larvicide application contractor services requiring aircraft and pilot resources, with response due April 23, 2026; Texas A&M University System issuing RFQ01SAIR26271 in January 2026 for aircraft broker services to support purchase and sale transactions, with response due January 28, 2026; and New Jersey Department of Treasury issuing RFQ 26DPP01256 in January 2026 for pilot and technician training for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft with response due March 26, 2026. The code assignment appears inconsistent with actual procurement activity and should be verified against the issuing body's intent before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification.
