UNSPSC 78181843: Aircraft fixed wing third party reimbursement

A service of fixed wing aircraft repayment of what is spent, to reimburse is to repay what is expended, restoration of an equivalent for something paid or expended for third parties.

UNSPSC 78181843 Aircraft fixed wing third party reimbursement, a Commodity code, covers state and local procurement of specialized aviation equipment and integration services for public safety and airport operations. Recent solicitations show the code capturing fixed-wing aircraft acquisition, mission equipment installation, and airfield ground-support systems rather than reimbursement arrangements per se. State and local governments under this code are buying fully integrated special mission aircraft solutions for law enforcement and public safety, including airframes, avionics, sensors, and FAA-approved integration; they are also acquiring ground-support equipment such as mobile aircraft boarding ramps for commercial airport terminals. Issuing bodies include state highway patrol and public safety agencies, county airport authorities, and regional aviation facilities. The solicitations emphasize best-value competitive evaluation, long-term technical support, compliance with FAA and OSHA safety standards, and detailed cost itemization by major system components (airframe, mission equipment, installation labor, FAA approvals, testing, training, warranty).

The South Dakota Highway Patrol issued RFP 26RFP19842 on July 9, 2026, with proposals due July 20, 2026, seeking a Kodiak 100 Series III aircraft with integrated mission equipment or a complete turnkey solution for law enforcement, traffic enforcement, criminal interdiction, search and rescue, disaster response, wildland fire reconnaissance, and homeland security; the State evaluates proposals by best value and may award to one or multiple vendors. Okaloosa County, Florida issued ITB ITBAP3026 on March 18, 2026, for two mobile adjustable aircraft boarding ramps for the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport, with bids due February 25, 2026; the award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and includes federal compliance requirements (Buy American, prevailing wage, E-Verify, SAM.gov registration). Recent activity concentrates in the Upper Midwest and Florida, with state and county issuing bodies managing both public safety aviation and commercial airport infrastructure procurements.
