UNSPSC 78181847: Aircraft fixed wing insurance

Fixed wing aircraft insurance is a specialized insurance which has been formulated to provide coverage to the specific operations of an aircraft and other possible risks in aviation. This type of insurance is quite different from other types of transportation insurance. Will cover accident and liability risks, as well as hull damage, connected with the operation of aircraft. Insurance cover for aircraft, and for damage, injury, or loss of life or cargo while traveling on aircraft.

UNSPSC 78181847 Aircraft fixed wing insurance, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve surplus vehicle and equipment auctions (City of Tampa), firearm trades and swaps (Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department), and a public safety aircraft acquisition (South Dakota Highway Patrol). Only the South Dakota Highway Patrol solicitation relates to aircraft; the Tampa and Columbus opportunities have no connection to aircraft insurance or aviation coverage. The code shows minimal activity reflective of its stated scope—aircraft fixed-wing insurance policies—and the single aviation-related opportunity is for aircraft purchase and mission integration, not insurance underwriting or policy procurement.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol RFP 26RFP19842, posted July 9, 2026 with a July 20 response deadline, sought proposals for a Kodiak 100 Series III aircraft platform with mission equipment and FAA-approved integration for law enforcement and public safety operations including traffic enforcement, criminal interdiction, search and rescue, and disaster response. This remains the only recent state or local solicitation under the code with relevance to its nominal scope. The absence of active insurance procurement opportunities, combined with the mismatch between the code's name and the actual buying activity posted, indicates that state and local governments use this code infrequently or not at all for aircraft insurance policies, and that the limited recent activity reflects administrative coding errors rather than genuine procurement volume in this commodity.
