UNSPSC 25173130: Navigation sensor

A sensor that calculates the location, orientation and velocity of a moving object without the need of GPS technology.

UNSPSC 25173130 Navigation sensor is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure thermal imaging systems, aerial ignition equipment, avionics components, and related sensor and camera equipment for specialized operational missions including prescribed burning, aircraft maintenance, law enforcement surveillance, and flight training. Recent solicitations show the code applied to thermal imaging camera systems, UAS-mounted ignition sensors, and avionics repair services rather than stand-alone navigation instruments, suggesting the code captures sensor and imaging equipment more broadly than the category name alone implies.

Georgia state agencies and Oregon state police are the primary recent buyers. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources issued an eRFQ in April 2026 for UAS Aerial Ignition Equipment and support services to establish a contract with one or more suppliers for prescribed burn operations throughout the State of Georgia, with an anticipated purchase of at least nine systems total and a May 15, 2026 submission deadline. The State of Oregon Department of State Police issued an ITB on February 10, 2026 for the one-time purchase and installation of a Wescam MX-10 thermal imaging camera system on a Cessna T206H aircraft with FAA Part 145 repair station certification and AS9100 quality certification required, a February 24, 2026 bid deadline, and a 10% Oregon Supplies and Services preference applied to qualifying bids. Middle Georgia State University issued an eRFQ in February 2026 for FAA-certified avionics repair station services supporting 53 aircraft and helicopter flight training operations, with a March 23, 2026 submission deadline and a contract period beginning July 1, 2026.
