UNSPSC 26101705: Aircraft drive shafts power take offs or screw jacks

UNSPSC 26101705 Aircraft drive shafts power take offs or screw jacks is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three substantive opportunities in the recent record are aircraft engine procurement and turbine training equipment, not drive shafts or power take-offs; the source shows no RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs for the mechanical power-transmission components the code nominally covers. State and local buyers accessing this code appear to be specialized public agencies with aviation operations — the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Texas State Technical College, and county purchasing offices — but the recent solicitations do not reflect the code's stated commodity focus.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Michigan. The Michigan DNR issued an RFQ in May 2026 (due 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. Texas State Technical College at Waco issued an RFP (RFP #1209144, due June 10, 2026) for six non-airworthy turboprop training engines and stationary stands for aviation powerplant laboratory instruction, with evaluation criteria weighting 45 points to specifications, 30 to pricing, and 20 to delivery and warranty. The Williamson County Purchasing Department notice posted in July 2026 is a relocation announcement with no procurement scope. The code shows little relevant recent state and local solicitation activity and appears misaligned with the work actually being bought under current opportunities.
