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 that covers the procurement of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) platforms, accessories, and support services by state and local law enforcement, public safety, utility, and transportation agencies. State and local governments acquire complete drone packages under this code—airframes, batteries, chargers, controllers, carrying cases, thermal and visible-light cameras, software licenses, training, and warranty coverage—for first-responder operations, infrastructure inspection, emergency response coordination, and specialized tactical applications. Recent solicitations show procurement of specific platforms: the Illinois State Police purchased three DJI Matrice M30T units with tethered power stations and vehicle inverters; the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) solicited Skydio X10 starter kits with thermal capability for parole operations and correctional facility security; and the Orlando Utilities Commission sought collision-resistant enclosed-space drones for utility asset inspection. The issuing-body mix spans state police departments, county sheriffs, transit authorities, special utility districts, cities, and state correctional agencies. Repeat buyers include CDCR, which has posted multiple RFQs for Skydio X10 platforms within the past six months, and municipal law enforcement agencies in Florida, Texas, and California.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in California, Texas, and Illinois, driven by large state and local agency purchasing volume and NDAA-compliance requirements that favor domestic manufacturers and certain certified platforms. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois State Police's October 2026 IFB for three DJI Matrice M30T units with tethered power stations (due October 21, 2026); the City of Fort Worth's September 2026 RFI for citywide Drone as First Responder program implementation with 90-second response-time targets and CentralSquare and Axon system integration requirements (due October 14, 2026); Orange County, Florida's June 2026 ITB for one Astro Max and two Skydio X10 units with onsite training (due July 8, 2026); and CDCR's ongoing small-business RFQs for Skydio X10 platforms with three-year service and training packages under SB/DVBE set-asides. The Purchasing Cooperative of America and the State of Texas have also posted emergency-responder equipment RFPs available to member jurisdictions nationally, signaling coordinated procurement vehicles across multi-state purchasing groups. NDAA compliance, DIU Blue UAS certification, and U.S. manufacturing provenance are now standard evaluation gates; foreign-origin platforms and refurbished equipment face systematic exclusion.
