UNSPSC 26101706: Aircraft transmission units

UNSPSC 26101706 Aircraft transmission units is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers aircraft engines, engine components, and engine rebuild and maintenance services. While the code name references transmissions narrowly, the posted solicitations show state and local agencies actually buying remanufactured aircraft engines, turbine training engines for aviation instruction, engine rebuild services, and comprehensive aircraft maintenance including powerplant work. The issuing bodies are mixed — higher-education institutions (Texas State Technical College, Middle Georgia State University), state departments (Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Texas Department of Public Safety), and county governments (Broward County, Florida). Educational institutions appear as repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations for engine rebuild services and training equipment.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Texas State Technical College's RFP for six non-airworthy turboprop training engines and stationary stands (RFP 1209144, due June 10, 2026); Michigan DNR's RFQ for a remanufactured Lycoming IO-540-AB1A5 engine for a Cessna 182R (RFQ 26-282, due May 19, 2026, awarded to Air Power, Inc. at $82,293.00); and Middle Georgia State University's two sequential eRFQs for Lycoming engine rebuild services (eRFQ responses due February 23 and March 16, 2026, respectively, with contract terms July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 plus up to four renewal years). Texas DPS also maintains a statewide open-enrollment contract for aircraft maintenance services at FAA-approved repair stations across six Texas regions (enrollment period through August 20, 2030). The code shows steady activity in education, state natural-resources operations, and law-enforcement aviation support, with pricing typically driven by competitive RFQ or best-value RFP evaluation rather than standing rate schedules.
