UNSPSC 25202604: Aircraft cooling fans

UNSPSC 25202604 Aircraft cooling fans, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve aircraft engines and engine maintenance rather than cooling fans per se — notably turbine training engines for aviation instruction, remanufactured aircraft engines for state fleet operations, and general aircraft maintenance contracts. State and local governments purchasing under this code appear to be acquiring complete powerplant assemblies, engine rebuild services, and related maintenance rather than discrete cooling-fan components. Issuing bodies include state departments (Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Texas Department of Public Safety), public higher-education institutions (Texas State Technical College at Waco, Middle Georgia State University), and county governments (Broward County, Florida). The code's recent activity does not reflect a concentrated buyer base; institutions and agencies are soliciting opportunistically rather than on a regular cycle.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative solicitations include the Texas State Technical College RFP #1209144 (posted June 10, 2026, deadline June 10, 2026) for six non-airworthy turboprop training engines and stationary stands for aviation powerplant laboratory instruction, evaluated on 45 points for specifications, 30 for pricing, and 20 for delivery and warranty; the Michigan DNR RFQ 26-282 (posted May 5, 2026, deadline May 19, 2026) for one remanufactured Lycoming IO-540-AB1A5 aircraft engine for a 2008 Cessna 182R, awarded to Air Power, Inc. at $82,293.00; and Middle Georgia State University's eRFQ (posted January 22, 2026, deadline February 23, 2026) for Lycoming engine rebuild services with a contract term July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 and renewal options through June 30, 2031. The mismatch between the code name and the actual procurement scope suggests the code may be misapplied to these solicitations or that cooling-fan procurement activity under this code is not currently visible in recent state and local notices.
