UNSPSC 49211834: Skydive simulator

Device which enables skydiving practice with air blowing upward

UNSPSC 49211834 Skydive simulator is a Commodity code that encompasses flight simulation systems and aviation training devices purchased by state and local educational institutions, primarily school districts and universities building or expanding career and technical education programs in aviation and air traffic control. The code captures full-motion flight simulators, basic aviation training devices, air traffic control tower and TRACON simulation systems, and associated software, hardware, instructor stations, and multi-year maintenance and support services. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and state university systems, with school boards in Texas and Florida appearing as active buyers establishing new aviation career pathways and upgrading existing flight simulation infrastructure. Work includes equipment procurement, delivery, installation, FAA approval and certification coordination, comprehensive operator and instructor training, preventive maintenance programs with factory-trained technicians, parts inventory management, and ongoing technical support under multi-year service contracts.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Florida. Dallas Independent School District issued RFP ZP-250274 on June 28, 2026, with responses due July 30, 2026, seeking full-motion single-engine and jet simulators, stationary trainers, and desktop introductory systems for Career Institute West with ongoing district-wide maintenance, targeting Summer 2027 operational readiness and establishing a 30 percent SBE participation goal weighted to 20 points in best-value evaluation. Texas State University issued RFP 754-TXST-2026-RFP-483-VPGOI on June 22, 2026, for air traffic control tower and TRACON simulation systems with voice capabilities and training support. The School Board of Polk County, Florida issued two related requests for vendor qualification in March 2026 — one for a Basic Aviation Training Device, flight simulation software (Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v5), TRACON software, and integrated computer hardware; the other for CNC machining training simulators and control systems serving broader technical education. Vendors pursuing this code should demonstrate FAA certification experience, prior deployment in educational aviation programs, multi-year service and parts availability commitments, and readiness to manage complex equipment commissioning and staff training timelines.
