Real excerpts from the Florida September 2026 edition. These show the format and reasoning; they are historical examples, not a current procurement or fleet-status update.
What to look for
The source. Where a record came from. The date. When the evidence applies. The limit. What still needs checking.
This Florida example demonstrates the research format. Other state editions have their own contents and coverage.

Commercial Market Themes
Sustainment and support
Dated examples include Tampa’s Bell airframe-components contract, Miami-Dade’s H125 full-components airframe-support allocation, and FDLE’s aircraft-services solicitation. Contract type and stage differ by agency; recheck current status.
Replacement pressure
Miami-Dade’s H125 procurement pairs the aircraft, warranty, spares, and training with a separately priced airframe-support allocation. This is a documented lifecycle purchase; the long-term allocation is a ceiling, not money already spent.
Facilities and operating cost
A May 2025 county filing identifies a proposed $4.844 million FY2025-26 Pinellas Flight Unit budget. The 2023 Sheltair lease approval projected a separate $2.267 million FY2026 full-year facility cost; current occupancy and actual spending are unverified. Sarasota’s adopted FY2026-30 capital plan lists $4.010 million appropriated to date for a separate aviation hangar project.
Selected commercial benchmarks
The figures below have different accounting bases and must not be added together. A capital project, annual budget, support-program ceiling, and funding recommendation are distinct records.

| Miami-Dade: full-components airframe support, maximum 15 years | $16.754M | Allocation within $43.354M ceiling |
| Pinellas: FY26 Flight Unit total | $4.844M | Proposed budget |
| Broward: helicopter procurement line | $4.800M | Adopted capital line |
| FHP: Tactical Aviation Command | $4.964M | Prior Senate recommendation |
| Sarasota: aviation hangar, project 83325 | $4.010M | Appropriated to date in adopted CIP |
| Tampa: Bell airframe components | $2.371M | December 2025 contract register |
