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 (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's aviation navigation equipment scope. The recent opportunities block contains fourteen postings across diverse categories — water system MRO supplies, chemical-resistant plastic tubing, trade labor frameworks, aquatic facility operations, space management consulting, SCADA instrumentation, pressure gauges, flow analyzers, alarm monitoring, laboratory testing, and forensic drug standards — none of which relate to VOR or DVOR/DME radio navigation systems for airports or airfields. These opportunities reflect purchasing across water utilities (Tucson Water, City of Phoenix, City of Arlington, Hillsborough County), municipalities (Meriden, Palm Bay, Tampa, Wichita), transit and infrastructure agencies (Gallup Regional Water System, Gallup and Sacramento counties), education (ESBD school districts), and specialized jurisdictions (Pinellas County forensic lab, Santa Monica water resources). The geographic spread covers Arizona, Florida, Connecticut, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, California, and Kentucky, with no clustering in aviation-dependent or airport-operator jurisdictions typical of navigation equipment procurement.

State and local governments rarely procure aviation-grade navigation systems directly; such equipment falls primarily to FAA procurement channels, airport authorities under federal grants, or aviation-specific fixed-base operators. The code's commercial scope — Doppler and DVOR/DME systems used for instrument approach guidance — does not align with the MRO, utility instrumentation, facilities management, and trade services dominating the recent activity block. No representative opportunities under this code can be identified from the source.
