UNSPSC 25173113: VOR (Doppler) and DVOR/DME systems

VOR/DME is a radio beacon that combines a VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) with a distance measuring equipment (DME). The VOR allows the receiver to measure its bearing to or from the beacon, while the DME provides the slant distance between the receiver and the station.

UNSPSC 25173113 VOR (Doppler) and DVOR/DME systems is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The code's title and technical domain — very-high-frequency omnidirectional radio range (VOR) and Doppler very-high-frequency omnidirectional radio range/distance measuring equipment (DVOR/DME) systems — describe precision navigation aids used in aviation infrastructure. The recent opportunities block contains sixteen state and local solicitations posted between January and July 2026, spanning municipalities, counties, transit authorities, universities, and special districts across multiple states. However, none of these opportunities target VOR or DVOR/DME systems or related aviation navigation equipment. The opportunities instead cover wastewater inventory components (Tampa), concert hall lighting retrofit (Wichita), laboratory testing services (Santa Monica, Meriden, Tucson), SCADA system upgrades (Gallup), electrical components for water systems (Hillsborough County), proficiency testing samples (University of Wisconsin), vocational education equipment (Texas ESBD), predictive maintenance services (Hillsborough County), generator replacement and installation (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), and various networking events and vendor forums. None of these procurement actions involve aviation navigation systems, electronic aids to navigation, or avionics-grade equipment procurement typical of the code's scope. The mismatch between the code classification and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscategorization in state and local systems or minimal recent state and local demand for VOR/DVOR/DME systems as standalone procurements.
