UNSPSC 25191603: Liquid launch vehicles

UNSPSC 25191603 Liquid launch vehicles is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of space propulsion infrastructure, test facilities, and specialized simulants supporting aerospace research and education. State and local buyers under this code include space commissions conducting technology assessments and school districts acquiring lunar and planetary analog materials for curriculum development. The scope of work ranges from shared-user space propulsion test and evaluation infrastructure capable of supporting research, development, testing, and evaluation across multiple technical domains — propellant types and handling, engine classes and thrust ranges, cryogenic systems, instrumentation and control, safety and emergency response — to educational consumables such as lunar highlands simulant material for hands-on science programs.

The Texas Space Commission and the School Board of Seminole County, Florida represent the recent activity visible under this code. Texas posted a request for information (RFI) on August 24, 2026 seeking market research on shared-user space propulsion test and evaluation facilities capable of operating in Texas, with responses due September 14, 2026; the RFI required respondents to demonstrate prior NASA test-infrastructure work and explicitly separated verified current capabilities from proposed capabilities across 19 technical areas. Seminole County Schools posted a notice of intent to sole-source five tonnes of Anorthosite Highlands Simulant from Space Resource Technologies for its ePathways Department on July 21, 2026, with an approximate annual expenditure of $20,000, allowing competing vendors to submit evidence of comparable products by the June 9 deadline. Activity under this code remains sparse and concentrated in specialized state aerospace agencies and advanced-curriculum school districts.
