UNSPSC 25202300: Aircraft passenger restraints

UNSPSC 25202300 Aircraft passenger restraints is a Class code covering flight helmets, communication accessories, and associated repair services that state and local governments procure primarily to support law enforcement and fire department aerial operations. The City of Phoenix RFQ-26-0319, posted September 29, 2026 with a response due date of July 6, 2026, exemplifies the scope: the city is soliciting Gentex Alpha Eagle flight helmets in multiple sizes, communication equipment, replacement parts, and repair and fitting services to support helicopter crew member protection for Police and Fire Departments. Vendors must be authorized OEM distributors with current certifications, a minimum two-year operating history in the category, qualified personnel for in-person fitting, and a local source for warranty work and rapid response. The contract runs five years from December 1, 2026, with two optional two-year extensions, pricing firm and fixed for the first two years, and repair turnaround required within 60 days of receipt with a 12-month warranty. DBE requirements under 49 CFR Part 26 apply; all personnel must execute a Sensitive Security Information Acknowledgement under 49 C.F.R. Parts 15 and 1520. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily municipal procurement offices and community college systems, though the recent-opportunities block reflects limited activity: Phoenix is the only active state or local buyer with a live aircraft restraint solicitation, while a Texas State Technical College RFP for turbine training engines (posted June 10, 2026, response due the same day) falls outside the restraint scope. Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona based on current visibility; no multi-state pattern emerges from the posted opportunities.
