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 is a Commodity code covering aircraft acquisition, mission equipment integration, and support services for fixed-wing public safety and transportation operations. State and local governments are acquiring complete aircraft solutions—including aircraft purchase, specialized mission equipment, installation labor, FAA approvals, testing, training, and warranty support—rather than insurance products alone. The code reflects state procurement of capital aircraft systems with integrated operational capabilities, including law enforcement platforms equipped for traffic enforcement, criminal interdiction, search and rescue, disaster response, and fire reconnaissance. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state agencies responsible for public safety and transportation infrastructure, specifically the South Dakota Highway Patrol and airport authorities managing civilian aviation facilities. Scope varies from turnkey integrated systems to unbundled component acquisition (aircraft only, equipment installation only, or combined solutions), with vendors expected to itemize pricing by major cost drivers and clearly identify assumptions, exclusions, and maintenance dependencies.

Activity concentrates in the upper Midwest and Southeast. South Dakota Highway Patrol posted RFP 26RFP19842 on July 9, 2026, requesting proposals for a Kodiak 100 Series III aircraft solution with mission equipment and integration support, due July 20, 2026; the State may evaluate and award proposals individually or in combination and considers proposals addressing aircraft acquisition, equipment installation, or fully integrated turnkey delivery. Okaloosa County, Florida (Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport) issued ITB ITBAP3026 on March 18, 2026, for two mobile adjustable aircraft boarding ramps accommodating regional jets through narrow-body mainline aircraft, with bids due February 25, 2026 at 3:00 PM CST; this federally grant-funded procurement requires Buy American compliance, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance where applicable, and $5 million Airport Liability insurance. The code shows modest recent activity and reflects heterogeneous aircraft-related capital procurement spanning law enforcement special missions and airport ground equipment rather than insurance-specific procurements.
