UNSPSC 25191519: Aircraft towing adapter

A part that is attached to the aircraft for towing the aircraft.

UNSPSC 25191519 Aircraft towing adapter is a Commodity code that encompasses ground support equipment used in aviation operations, including aircraft tugs, tow bars, and specialized tow heads for regional and commercial airports. State and local governments procuring under this code are typically airport authorities and county purchasing departments managing regional aviation facilities. The work involves acquisition of new aircraft ground handling equipment meeting specific aircraft weight and compatibility requirements, with sealed competitive bidding common and best-value evaluation criteria typical.

Activity under this code is sparse in recent postings. Jefferson County Purchasing Department issued an IFB (26-018 CG) in May 2026 for Jack Brooks Regional Airport seeking one aircraft tug with 115,000-pound dry-tow capacity, one multi-head tow bar rated for 66,000-pound aircraft weight, and two specialized tow heads compatible with Dassault Falcon and Pilatus aircraft, with sealed bids due April 22, 2026, and HUB subcontracting goals set at 12.8 percent. The opportunity required SAM registration, Davis-Bacon compliance where applicable, and standard federal certifications. Beyond this Texas airport procurement, the code shows no other relevant recent state or local activity in the available record; a Sarasota County Florida IFB tagged under this code actually solicits disaster logistics transportation services unrelated to aircraft towing equipment, signaling potential misclassification in the source data.
