UNSPSC 26101514: Jet engine

An internal combustion engine which uses high-temperature gas produced by combustion of fuel using oxygen in the inside of the engine. The gas is discharged through the jet nozzle, which generates thrust in reaction.

UNSPSC 26101514 Jet engine (Commodity) covers aircraft engines and engine components procured by state and local governments for aviation operations, fleet maintenance, and instructional purposes. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reflect three distinct use cases: educational institutions purchasing training engines for aviation mechanics instruction, state aviation fleets acquiring replacement engines for operational aircraft, and higher-education institutions establishing standing contracts for engine rebuild services. Issuing bodies include state departments (Michigan DNR, Texas DPS), public universities (Texas State Technical College, Middle Georgia State University), and county governments (Broward County, Florida). The scope spans new and remanufactured engines, rebuild services, parts, diagnostics, and preventative maintenance—reflecting both capital procurement and ongoing fleet support.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary procurement in Michigan and Florida. Texas State Technical College (TSTC) at Waco issued RFP #1209144 in June 2026 seeking six non-airworthy turboprop training engines and stationary stands for its aviation powerplant laboratory, with delivery FOB to Waco and evaluation weighted 45 points on specifications, 30 on pricing, 20 on delivery and warranty, and 5 on history of support for Texas higher education. The Michigan DNR issued RFQ 26-282 in May 2026 for a single remanufactured Lycoming IO-540-AB1A5 engine for a 2008 Cessna 182R aircraft at Roscommon, with Air Power, Inc. (Arlington, Texas) awarded at $82,293.00. Middle Georgia State University released two sequential eRFQs (posted January 2026 and February 2026, response deadlines February 23 and March 16, 2026) for Lycoming engine rebuild services under one-year contracts beginning July 1, 2026, with renewal options through June 30, 2031. Texas DPS maintains a statewide open-enrollment aircraft maintenance solicitation (open through August 20, 2030) requiring FAA-approved repair stations in Texas with FAA-certified mechanics to provide maintenance and inspection for Airbus and Cessna aircraft across six regions.
