UNSPSC 25201600: Aerospace location and navigation systems and components

UNSPSC 25201600 Aerospace location and navigation systems and components is a Class code describing avionics, navigation equipment, thermal imaging systems, and related aerospace electronics that state and local governments procure for aircraft operations, specialized airborne missions, and flight training programs. State and local buyers under this code include state departments operating aviation fleets, higher-education institutions running flight training schools, and public-safety agencies deploying specialized airborne systems. The work spans equipment procurement, installation, repair, maintenance, and technical training—with vendors typically holding FAA Part 145 repair station certification, AS9100 quality certification, or equivalent aerospace qualifications.

Recent activity includes Georgia Department of Natural Resources' eRFQ for Unmanned Aerial Systems aerial ignition equipment and support services for prescribed burn operations statewide, posted April 15, 2026 with a May 15, 2026 submission deadline, and Middle Georgia State University's eRFQ for FAA-certified avionics repair services supporting 53 aircraft and helicopters, posted February 23, 2026 with a March 23, 2026 deadline. The Oregon Department of State Police issued an ITB on February 10, 2026 for purchase and installation of a FLIR thermal imaging camera on a Cessna T206H, with a February 24, 2026 response deadline and a 10% Oregon Supplies and Services preference applied to qualifying bids. Georgia and Oregon show the strongest recent activity; the code sees periodic use across state aviation and natural-resource programs but does not show a sustained high volume of solicitations.
