UNSPSC 78181850 Aircraft fixed wing adhoc charge (Commodity) encompasses state and local procurement of aircraft-related services and equipment for public safety, law enforcement, and fleet management.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol, City of Tampa Logistics and Asset Management Department, and Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department appear in recent postings.
