UNSPSC 25173127: Ground navigational aids and landing aids

Navigational Aids are a form of marker, signal or device that aids an aircraft by guiding and navigating it to its destination. It can be in the form of Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) or Doppler VHF Omnidirectional Range (DVOR).

UNSPSC 25173127 Ground navigational aids and landing aids is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized avionics, thermal imaging systems, and related aircraft equipment for operational and training programs. Recent solicitations show state agencies and university entities acquiring FLIR thermal imaging camera systems, UAS aerial ignition equipment with advanced sensors and cameras, and aircraft avionics repair and maintenance services — work that falls tangentially to the code's nominal scope but reflects how jurisdictions use the taxonomy to tag procurement for airborne navigation and sensing equipment. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Oregon Department of State Police), state-affiliated universities with flight training operations (Middle Georgia State University), and county administrative offices, though the relevant procurement activity clusters within state agencies and educational institutions operating aircraft fleets rather than general local government.

Recent opportunities appear concentrated in Georgia and Oregon. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources issued an eRFQ in April 2026 for UAS Aerial Ignition Systems including cameras, spare parts, and training — with delivery due May 15, 2026 — to support prescribed burn operations statewide. Middle Georgia State University issued an eRFQ in February 2026 for FAA-certified avionics repair services covering Garmin, Aspen, King, Avidyne, and S-Tec systems, with contract start July 1, 2026 and response deadline March 23, 2026. The State of Oregon Department of State Police issued an ITB in February 2026 for one-time purchase and installation of a Wescam MX-10 thermal imaging system on a Cessna T206H, with a ten percent Oregon Supplies and Services preference and response deadline February 24, 2026. The code shows limited recent state and local activity overall; no opportunities outside Georgia and Oregon appear in the available block.
