UNSPSC 25191600: Space transportation support systems and equipment

UNSPSC 25191600 Space transportation support systems and equipment is a Class code capturing feasibility analysis, planning, and advisory work that state and local governments are conducting around emerging spaceport infrastructure—not the equipment or systems themselves. The Utah Department of Transportation is currently soliciting consulting services to assess the viability of establishing a commercial spaceport within Utah, including site evaluation against seven candidate locations, economic impact modeling, infrastructure requirements, and regulatory compliance analysis. This is the primary type of work being acquired under the code in the state and local market right now: pre-development consulting and strategic planning services that evaluate the business case, environmental fit, and operational feasibility of spaceport sites before any capital investment or physical infrastructure deployment.

The source supports only a single recent opportunity. The Utah Department of Transportation issued an RFP (UDOT260154MP) on January 23, 2026, with a response deadline of February 13, 2026, for a single-award contract to conduct a two-phase siting assessment and economic impact analysis through October 2026. Phase 1 narrows seven candidate locations (Promontory, Wendover, Vernal, Delta, Green River, Bluff, and Kanab) to two or three finalists based on market demand, capital and operating costs, regulatory constraints, economic potential, and resource proximity; Phase 2 delivers detailed economic and siting analyses including executive summaries, return on investment estimates, funding strategies, infrastructure needs assessments, environmental overviews, airspace implications, SWOT analyses, and geospatial visualizations, culminating in a public presentation in October 2026. The evaluation framework weights technical qualifications, relevant past work, methodology, and risk assessment at up to 105 points, with cost scored on a ratio basis up to 25 points; a minimum technical score of 80 points is required to advance. The solicitation does not identify an explicit budget or set-aside designations. Activity under this code appears limited to Utah at present.
