UNSPSC 25202411: Defueling connections

Defueling the aircraft may be accomplished by either suction, pumping or a combination of both. Suction defueling is accomplished through the pressure fueling adapter and does not result in a completely empty fuel tank. Pumping is accomplished through the drain valves located in each of the upper main wheel wells.

UNSPSC 25202411 Defueling connections is a Commodity code that encompasses aircraft ground-support equipment and integration services for public safety and commercial aviation operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for specialized aircraft systems and boarding infrastructure — specifically, mission-ready aircraft equipped with law enforcement and public safety payloads, and mobile boarding ramps designed for regional and mainline aircraft operations at commercial airports. The code captures both the acquisition of defueling-related equipment and the broader aircraft systems integration work that accompanies it in public safety procurement. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation and public safety agencies (such as the South Dakota Highway Patrol) and county airport authorities managing commercial aviation facilities (Okaloosa County, Florida).

South Dakota Highway Patrol posted RFP 26RFP19842 on July 9, 2026 for a public safety special mission aircraft solution — specifically a Kodiak 100 Series III platform with mission equipment installation and integration to support law enforcement, search and rescue, wildland fire reconnaissance, and homeland security operations, with proposals due July 20, 2026. Okaloosa County, Florida issued ITB ITBAP3026 on March 18, 2026 for two mobile adjustable aircraft boarding ramps at Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport, accommodating regional jets through narrow-body mainline aircraft, with bids due February 25, 2026 and requiring FAA and OSHA compliance, comprehensive insurance ($5 million Airport Liability minimum), and staff training upon delivery. The geographic spread includes the Upper Midwest (South Dakota) and the Southeast (Florida), reflecting demand across different aviation operation types and jurisdictional structures.
