UNSPSC 31251514: Aircraft electromechanical actuator

A device that operates aircraft mechanical components such as flaps, slaps, landing gear and others.

UNSPSC 31251514 Aircraft electromechanical actuator is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses flight helmets, protective equipment accessories, and associated repair and maintenance services procured for law enforcement and emergency services helicopter operations. State and local governments buy communication-equipped flight helmets, replacement parts, and warranty-backed repair services under this code to support crew safety in police and fire aviation programs. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices and public higher-education institutions; the City of Phoenix has solicited actively in this space.

The City of Phoenix released RFQ260319 on September 29, 2026, seeking sealed offers for flight helmets, accessories, and repair services for Police and Fire Department helicopter crews, with a pre-offer conference on June 15, 2026 and written inquiries due June 22, 2026; the initial five-year term begins December 1, 2026, with two optional two-year extensions, and contractors must be authorized Gentex Alpha Eagle distributors with OEM certifications, in-person fitting capability, and Arizona-based operations. Geographic activity centers on Arizona and Texas; the source shows no material state-to-state concentration beyond these two jurisdictions. The code also appears in a June 2026 RFP from Texas State Technical College at Waco (RFP #1209144) for turbine training engines for aviation education, though this opportunity diverges from the core aircraft actuator scope and appears to reflect a coding misalignment rather than representative activity under the Commodity.
