UNSPSC 25132101: Agricultural drone

A type of unmanned aerial vehicle or drone used to monitor, detect and otherwise support agricultural enterprises of all kinds.

UNSPSC 25132101 Agricultural drone is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchase of unmanned aircraft systems equipped with precision application and survey payloads for environmental management, emergency response, and agricultural operations. Recent solicitations show states and municipalities acquiring multi-rotor and fixed-wing platforms with spray systems, thermal and imaging payloads, autonomous flight capabilities, and integrated ground control stations. The code draws issuing bodies across state departments (Illinois State Police, Illinois Department of Transportation, State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources), utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), cities (Fort Worth, Austin, Waco, St. Petersburg, Hayward), counties (Sarasota, Gwinnett), airports (Savannah), and higher-education institutions (Texas A&M). Repeat buyers in the recent block include the State of Utah Division of Purchasing conducting on behalf of its Division of Wildlife Resources, which has executed multiple IFBs for aerial herbicide application and invasive species treatment across approximately 5,000 acres combined, with bid awards at per-acre rates of $6.69 to $29.94.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Utah, Illinois, and Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia, California, and nationwide cooperative procurement vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois State Police's RFQ 27493ISPOPERAB54458 for three DJI Matrice M30T UAS units with tethered power stations and vehicle inverters, bids due October 21, 2026; the State of Utah Division of Purchasing's IFB JH27-105 for aerial herbicide application across 2,622 acres in Sanpete and Sevier Counties, bids closed September 15, 2026 with SafeChem Pest selected at $6.69 per acre; Illinois Department of Transportation's IFB 27-494DOT-FINAD-B-53491 for four Hylio Pegasus HYL-30 agricultural UAS packages with spray and spreader systems, bids due September 14, 2026 with November 30, 2026 delivery deadline; and the City of Fort Worth's RFI 260327 for Drone as First Responder system integration with automated dispatch, CAD integration, and cybersecurity compliance, responses due October 14, 2026. Lubbock Power & Light's RFP 7136-26-ELD for UAV imagery analysis of 75,000 electric utility structures annually under a three-year term with optional two-year extension, proposals due September 10, 2026 with cost-per-structure pricing, signals utility-scale inspection demand. NDAA and foreign-entity compliance requirements appear consistently across solicitations; Illinois and Texas emphasize Covered Foreign Entity List certification and domestic manufacturing or authorized dealer status, particularly following federal DJI groundings in early 2026.
