UNSPSC 26101702: Aircraft engine compressors

UNSPSC 26101702 Aircraft engine compressors is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of aircraft engines and engine components for operational, instructional, and maintenance purposes. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring remanufactured piston engines for general aviation fleet replacement, rebuilt turbine engines for aviation training programs, and repair and overhaul services for existing aircraft powerplants. The work spans engine acquisition (single-unit or multi-unit purchases), engine rebuild and remanufacture contracts, and ongoing maintenance and parts support. Issuing bodies include state departments (Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Texas Department of Public Safety), state universities (Middle Georgia State University, Texas State Technical College), and county governments (Broward County, Florida). The code shows modest but consistent activity across multiple jurisdictions and use cases.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and Florida. Texas State Technical College posted RFP #1209144 for six non-airworthy turboprop training engines and stationary stands for aviation powerplant laboratory instruction, due June 10, 2026, with evaluation emphasizing specifications match (45 points), pricing (30 points), delivery and warranty (20 points), and vendor history of support for Texas higher education (5 points).
