UNSPSC 25150000: Spacecraft

UNSPSC 25150000 Spacecraft is a Family code that encompasses spaceport infrastructure, launch-support equipment, and propulsion-test facilities purchased by state and local entities — not orbital vehicles or satellite hardware. Recent solicitations under this code reflect state and regional space-development initiatives rather than traditional municipal procurement. State and local buyers issuing under the code include the Texas Space Commission and Texas Workforce Commission, working to inventory and develop shared-user test infrastructure for commercial space operations. The scope covers market research and feasibility assessment for thermal-vacuum testing facilities and propulsion test-and-evaluation capability in support of research, development, and technology transfer aligned with emerging commercial spaceflight ecosystems at the regional level.

The code sees activity primarily in Texas, driven by state-level space-development policy and workforce-infrastructure initiatives. The Texas Space Commission issued RFI 358-26-004 (closed September 14, 2026) seeking information on existing or conceptual shared-user space propulsion test and evaluation facilities capable of conducting research, development, testing, and evaluation work within Texas; the RFI explicitly required respondents to demonstrate prior successful work with NASA on environmental verification, test-infrastructure development, or payload testing and separated verified current capabilities from proposed or conceptual capabilities. The Texas Workforce Commission concurrently issued RFI 358-26-01 (closed September 11, 2026) identifying existing thermal-vacuum testing facilities within the state. Both RFIs were nonbinding market research not establishing preference, eligibility, or obligation for future procurements. This code does not reflect ongoing operational demand from traditional state or local government service lines; rather, it signals emerging state investment in space-industry infrastructure and workforce development ecosystems.
