UNSPSC 25132105: Delivery drone

A type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone utilized to transport packages, food or other goods.

UNSPSC 25132105 Delivery drone is a Commodity code that encompasses unmanned aircraft systems procured by state and local government for operational missions spanning law enforcement, emergency response, utility infrastructure inspection, agricultural application, and airfield operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show government buyers acquiring complete UAS packages—multi-rotor platforms, fixed-wing survey systems, tethered power stations, flight batteries, controllers, carrying cases, and associated accessories—along with operator services, training, software licenses, and technical support. The Illinois State Police's October 2026 bid for three DJI Matrice M30T units with tethered power stations and vehicle inverters exemplifies law-enforcement procurement; the Illinois Department of Transportation's August 2026 bid for four agricultural-use UAS and spray/spreader systems reflects state infrastructure missions; and the Orlando Utilities Commission's August 2026 RFP for an enclosed-space inspection drone illustrates specialized municipal utility applications. Issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois DOT, Texas DOT, Texas A&M), county governments (Sarasota County, Gwinnett County), cities (St. Petersburg, Fort Worth, Austin, Waco, Hayward), transit and utility authorities (Orlando Utilities Commission, Savannah Airport Commission, Lubbock Power & Light), and special districts. State-level repeat activity appears concentrated in Illinois and Texas.

The geographic footprint of recent opportunities clusters in Texas, Illinois, and Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia and California. The Illinois Department of Transportation emergency purchase from Frontier Precision totaling $2,137,601.46 in August 2026 marked a major state procurement responding to fleet groundings tied to foreign-manufacture restrictions under the American Security Drone Act of 2023. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois State Police's October 2026 IFB (due October 21, 2026) for complete UAS with tethered power systems; the Savannah Airport Commission's September 2026 RFQ (due September 24, 2026) for precision aerial application and survey ecosystems with domestic-manufacturing-only and NDAA-compliance filters; the City of Fort Worth's October 2026 RFI (due October 14, 2026) seeking sources for a citywide Drone as First Responder program with 90-second average response-time targeting; and Lubbock Power & Light's September 2026 RFP (due September 10, 2026) for UAV imagery review services covering approximately 75,000 electric utility structures annually. Procurement notices increasingly mandate compliance with federal acquisition security restrictions, cybersecurity standards (CJIS alignment, U.S. data residency), and integration with CAD, evidence-management, and asset-management platforms, reflecting operational and legal complexity that shapes vendor qualification and pricing expectations.
