UNSPSC 26101503: Gasoline engines

A type of internal combustion engine that uses the explosion of a petroleum based fuel, caused by a spark, to expand a gas thus pushing a piston. There are two and four stroke engines. The thermodynamic cycle used is known as the Otto Cycle.

UNSPSC 26101503 Gasoline engines, a Commodity code, covers the supply and installation of backup power generation equipment, engine repair and maintenance services, and related power distribution infrastructure that state and local governments procure to support critical facility operations, emergency response capacity, and continuous service delivery across water utilities, transportation authorities, convention centers, and municipal departments. State and local buyers under this code include county governments, city municipalities, special-purpose districts such as water authorities and port authorities, and state agencies—with Columbia County, Georgia; Broward County Transportation Department; the City of Dallas; and the Clayton County Water Authority appearing as repeat or recent solicitors. The work ranges from capital procurement of standby generators for government buildings and airport baggage-handling systems to ongoing maintenance contracts for engine fleets serving public transportation and water treatment operations, as well as specialized repair services for Cummins engines powering transit buses and electric motors supporting municipal infrastructure.
