UNSPSC 25173100: Location and navigation systems and components

UNSPSC 25173100 Location and navigation systems and components is a Class code capturing the installation, integration, and maintenance of positioning, tracking, and navigation equipment on vehicles, aircraft, and mobile assets operated by state and local government. State and local buyers procure Vehicle Movement Area Transmitters (VMATs) for airport operations, telematic asset tracking systems for fleet management, GPS collars for wildlife monitoring, avionics and navigation upgrades for law enforcement aircraft, and GPS and camera system installation on municipal vehicles. The work ranges from turnkey equipment furnishing and configuration to labor-intensive integration with existing command-and-control systems, FAA coordination, and ongoing maintenance. Issuing bodies include state departments (Florida Department of Management Services, Texas Department of Public Safety, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, New Jersey Department of the Treasury), airports (Savannah Airport Commission), municipalities (City of Tempe), and counties. State agencies appear as repeat buyers, particularly for fleet tracking and specialized mission equipment.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and Minnesota. The Savannah Airport Commission issued RFQ 2026-0037 for forty Vehicle Movement Area Transmitters on October 15, 2026, requiring FAA Buy American Preference compliance, ADS-B 978 MHz integration, turnkey installation and commissioning, and demonstrated experience on three comparable airport projects within five years; award was anticipated by December 1, 2026.
