UNSPSC 25191602: Payload delivery systems for spacecraft

UNSPSC 25191602 Payload delivery systems for spacecraft is a Commodity code that encompasses shared-user test and evaluation infrastructure for space propulsion systems and specialized materials used in space-related research and education. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through specialized commissions and school districts engaged in aerospace research, development, and educational programs. The Texas Space Commission and school district purchasing departments represent the primary issuing bodies identified in recent activity, though the scale and frequency of these procurements remain limited. Work solicited includes facility-sharing arrangements for propulsion testing with comprehensive technical scope covering propellant handling, engine classes, cryogenic systems, instrumentation, safety protocols, and governance models, as well as specialized simulant materials for educational and research purposes.

The code shows recent activity centered in Texas and Florida. The Texas Space Commission posted an RFI (Solicitation Number RFI35826004) on August 24, 2026, requesting information on shared-user space propulsion test and evaluation facilities capable of conducting research and testing in Texas, with responses due September 14, 2026. The RFI explicitly targets respondents with prior NASA test-infrastructure experience and excludes brokers and exclusive-use infrastructure providers. The Seminole County School Board of Florida posted a sole-source procurement (25260122S-VG) on July 21, 2026, for five tonnes of Anorthosite Highlands Simulant from Space Resource Technologies at an approximate annual expenditure of $20,000 for the ePathways Department. These two opportunities illustrate the code's dual application: large-scale shared infrastructure development driven by state space agencies and smaller educational material purchases by school systems.
