UNSPSC 25202504: Aircraft windshield wipers

UNSPSC 25202504 Aircraft windshield wipers (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single relevant recent opportunity—the City of Phoenix's RFQ for flight helmets, accessories, and repair services—is tangentially related to aircraft systems but does not match the windshield wiper product category. The Phoenix procurement involves Gentex Alpha Eagle flight helmets for Police and Fire Department helicopter crews, a personal protective equipment and services engagement rather than a windshield wiper component buy. The remaining recorded opportunities (a Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice and a Texas State Technical College RFP for turbine training engines) are unrelated to the code's scope. Aircraft windshield wipers as a standalone commodity do not appear in recent state and local solicitations represented in this dataset.

The Phoenix RFQ, posted September 29, 2026 with a July 6, 2026 due date, requires the contractor to be an authorized Gentex distributor with OEM certifications and local Arizona presence for fitting and warranty support. A five-year initial term with two optional two-year extensions and firm fixed pricing for the first two years characterizes the agreement structure. The scope includes helmet sizes, communication equipment, replacement parts, repair services, and fitting support with 60-day delivery requirements and 1-year warranties on new equipment. The contract commences December 1, 2026, and is subject to DBE flow-down obligations under 49 CFR Part 26. This engagement signals municipal helicopter operations demand but does not substantiate a recurring market for aircraft windshield wipers at the state and local level based on the sources provided.
