UNSPSC 27113206: Aircraft rescue tools

Equipment and gear for rescue operations that involves the response, evacuation and possible rescue of passengers and crew of an aircraft involved in an emergency.

UNSPSC 27113206 Aircraft rescue tools is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure specialized equipment and services for airport emergency response and aircraft ground support operations, though the recent opportunities block shows limited direct alignment with the nominal code scope. The solicitations under or near this code predominantly address aircraft ground support equipment such as tugs, boarding bridges, boarding stairs, and ramp service systems rather than rescue-specific tools. Issuing bodies span airport authorities, county aviation departments, municipal airport operators, and transit authorities, with activity concentrated in Florida, Kentucky, Texas, New Mexico, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's procurement of one helicopter tug for Capitol City Airport (RFB 605-26-00006542 and RFB 605-26-00006543, due July 9, 2026, IFB format), the City of McKinney's procurement of four narrow-body aircraft ramp boarding stairs (ITB 26-44ITB, due February 26, 2026), and the Savannah Airport Commission's procurement of one terminal ramp sweeper (RFQ 2026-0008, due February 24, 2026). Kentucky airports issued multiple tug procurement notices in June and July 2026; the City of Dallas, Orange County (Florida), and Okaloosa County (Florida) issued solicitations for passenger boarding bridges, traffic signal equipment, and mobile boarding ramps respectively in 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity in airport ground support and maintenance equipment, but minimal recent activity in aircraft rescue tools per se; recent opportunities predominantly address ground handling, passenger boarding, and facility maintenance systems rather than emergency rescue capabilities or tools.
