NIGP 03570: Parts (Except Engine), Airplane

NIGP 03570 Parts (Except Engine), Airplane is an Item code covering aircraft components—propellers, governors, actuators, fasteners, and related assemblies—that state and local governments procure for flight operations and maintenance. State and local purchasers under this code include higher-education institutions operating flight-training programs, state transportation departments running aviation divisions, and other public agencies maintaining aircraft fleets. The work typically involves sourcing original or rebuilt parts, arranging overhaul and repair services from FAA-certified vendors, and managing the logistics of component delivery and installation. Issuing bodies solicit through RFQs and IFBs, often setting specific technical requirements tied to aircraft type and regulatory certification.

Recent activity shows Middle Georgia State University posting an RFQ on September 4, 2026 (response due October 5, 2026) for FAA-certified propeller and propeller-governor overhaul and repair services to support its 67-aircraft flight-training fleet flying 20,000 hours annually, with initial contract through June 30, 2027 and four optional one-year renewals. The Texas Department of Transportation's Aviation Division issued an emergency procurement IFB on June 17, 2026 (bids due June 15, 2026) for a Right Hand Actuator Assembly Overhaul/Exchange and eight subordinate fastener components for aircraft N139XL, with delivery to Austin Bergstrom International Airport and firm fixed-price F.O.B. destination terms, claiming eligibility for Texas-produced goods and bidder tie-break preferences under 34 TAC 20.306. Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia; geographic spread across additional states is not evident from current opportunities.
