UNSPSC 25173108: Vehicle navigation systems

UNSPSC 25173108 Vehicle navigation systems is a Commodity code that encompasses avionics, thermal imaging, and aircraft-mounted navigation and sensing equipment state and local governments procure for operational fleets. The recent solicitations show scope extending well beyond traditional vehicle GPS units to include complex airborne systems such as aircraft avionics packages (Garmin, Aspen, King, Avidyne, S-Tec equipment), FLIR thermal imaging cameras with infrared and daylight sensors, geo-referenced targeting and tracking capability, and aircraft-specific installation and integration services. State and local buyers under this code include state aviation and transportation departments, universities operating aircraft fleets, and public safety agencies. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Middle Georgia State University, and the State of Oregon Department of State Police appear in the recent activity; these entities procure systems for prescribed burn operations, flight training support, and law-enforcement aerial reconnaissance respectively.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia and Oregon. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources issued an electronic RFQ on April 15, 2026, closing May 15, 2026, for two initial Unmanned Aerial Systems Aerial Ignition Systems with anticipated purchase of at least seven additional systems for prescribed burn operations statewide, posted on the TEAM GEORGIA MARKETPLACE platform. Middle Georgia State University issued an electronic RFQ on February 23, 2026, closing March 23, 2026, seeking FAA-certified avionics repair stations to support repair and maintenance of Garmin, Aspen, King, Avidyne, and S-Tec systems across a fleet of 53 aircraft and helicopters operating approximately 17,000 annual flight hours. The State of Oregon Department of State Police issued an Invitation to Bid on February 10, 2026, closing February 24, 2026, for a one-time purchase and installation of a Wescam MX-10 thermal imaging camera or equivalent on a Cessna T206H, with FAA certification and 24 hours of pilot training included; the bid received a 10% Oregon Supplies and Services preference. The County of Orange, California, Public Works Department solicited collision repair services in March 2026 unrelated to this code's scope and does not represent representative navigation or avionics activity.
