UNSPSC 25173108: Vehicle navigation systems

UNSPSC 25173108 Vehicle navigation systems is a Commodity code covering real-time tracking, positioning, and navigation hardware and software deployed on state and local vehicle fleets, aircraft, and airport ground-support equipment. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of turnkey telematics platforms for fleet-wide asset tracking and specialized aviation navigation and surveillance systems. The Savannah Airport Commission's RFQ 2026-0037 sought forty Vehicle Movement Area Transmitters (VMATs) with ADS-B technology for airport-owned vehicles, requiring complete installation, FAA registration, integration with the FAA Surface Awareness Initiative environment, and a one-year warranty—a full systems approach combining hardware, software, labor, and regulatory compliance. The Florida Department of Management Services' RFP 26-25173107-RFP for telematic asset tracking services targets statewide fleet monitoring of state-owned and leased motor vehicles and equipment with real-time ten-foot-accuracy positioning, fuel consumption tracking, customizable reporting, NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 compliance, and integration with the State's Fleet Management Information System (FMIS). Issuing bodies span state transportation and public-safety departments, airport authorities, and statewide administrative procurement offices; activity is driven primarily by state-level fleet management and aviation authorities rather than municipalities, counties, or school districts.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Florida, and New Jersey. The Savannah Airport Commission (Georgia) posted RFQ 2026-0037 on September 14, 2026 with a response deadline of October 15, 2026, seeking turnkey VMAT installation with FAA Buy American Preference compliance and Local Small Business / Minority Business designation eligibility under City of Savannah programs. The Florida Department of Management Services issued RFP 26-25173107-RFP on August 10, 2026 with proposals due October 2, 2026, targeting multiple statewide awards for telematics services with 99.9% availability requirements, $250-per-day penalties for late reporting, and mandatory data residency within the continental United States. The New Jersey Department of the Treasury solicited aircraft maintenance and parts support (Bid Solicitation 26DPP01247, due October 9, 2026) covering 21 aircraft across four groups with FAA Part 145 repair station requirements and one-hour emergency AOG response. The Texas Department of Public Safety RFP 405-26R0027111 (closed September 24, 2026) specified completion upgrades to a Cessna 208 Caravan EX with avionics and law enforcement mission equipment integration, requiring HUBZone subcontracting participation and FAA repair station certification with past performance on six similarly equipped aircraft.
