UNSPSC 25201701: Aircraft communication systems

UNSPSC 25201701 Aircraft communication systems is a Commodity code covering maintenance, repair, and supply of airfield communications equipment including radios, transponders, navigation aids, ground systems, emergency locator transmitters, and satellite communications used by state and local aviation operations. State and local governments buy this code primarily through county sheriff and fire departments operating helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft, municipal police and fire aviation units, and airport authorities managing control towers and airfield infrastructure. The work spans preventive maintenance contracts with firm labor rates and emergency repair services, supply of new radio equipment and accessories, and full installation and commissioning of tower communications systems with FAA compliance requirements.

Issuing bodies include county sheriff departments (Orange County, California), municipal police and fire departments (City of Phoenix), county emergency management agencies (Chatham County, Georgia), airport authorities (Peachtree City Airport Authority, Georgia), and higher-education institutions (Texas State University).
