UNSPSC 25132104: Law enforcement drone

A type of unmanned aerial vehicle used to monitor, detect and otherwise support law enforcement by law enforcement agencies.

UNSPSC 25132104 Law enforcement drone is a Commodity code capturing unmanned aerial systems procured by state and local public safety agencies for tactical operations, emergency response, search and rescue, facility inspection, and specialized surveillance. State and local governments soliciting under this code include departments of corrections and rehabilitation, law enforcement agencies, departments of natural resources, departments of transportation, water resource authorities, and municipal fire and police departments. Recent solicitations emphasize thermal imaging capabilities, NDAA compliance, precision GPS (RTK/PPK), extended flight endurance (30–40 minutes minimum), operator training, and multi-year warranty packages; several issuances specifically restrict procurement to small business and disabled veteran business enterprise vendors, signaling set-aside availability in state corrections work. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has issued multiple RFQs for UAS systems within the past two months, indicating sustained demand in correctional and parole supervision contexts.

Geographic activity spans Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Nevada, with particular concentration in California (three CDCR RFQs for UAS starter kits with thermal infrared cameras and tactical training, posting dates March 5–June 18, 2026), Texas (TxDOT Flying Sun 500 fixed-wing UAS and Texas A&M multispectral UAS, April–July 2026), and Georgia (Department of Natural Resources aerial ignition systems for prescribed burns, posted April 15, 2026). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Hayward RFP 26-059 Drone as First Responder Program (sealed proposals due July 13, 2026) governing UAS deployment policy, pilot certification, and prevailing-wage compliance; the California Department of Corrections RFQ 10838023-2 (responses due May 27, 2026) for two Skydio X10 starter kits with Skydio Care three-year plans, two-day tactical training, and all-or-none award to lowest responsive bidder with Small Business and DVBE preferences; and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources procurement of one USA-manufactured rotary-copter drone with RTK GPS, thermal and optical payloads, and FEMA and NDAA compliance (responses due March 16, 2026). Pricing is typically all-inclusive with freight prepaid; contracts generally span two to five years with optional renewals.
