UNSPSC 71171701: Jet fuel recertification

Analytical services for the recertification of jet fuel

UNSPSC 71171701 Jet fuel recertification is a Commodity code that describes the purchase and delivery of aviation turbine fuels, aviation gasolines, and related aviation fuel products to state and local government aviation facilities. State and local buyers under this code are primarily municipal and county aviation authorities, public educational institutions operating flight facilities, law enforcement agencies with aviation units, and regional airport operators. The work involves bulk delivery of ASTM D1655–compliant Jet-A and Jet-A with fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII), as well as 100LL aviation gasoline, to on-site storage infrastructure at general aviation airports, flight training facilities, and law enforcement operations. Contracts typically establish pricing indexed to wholesale benchmarks (such as NYMEX NY Harbor futures or Platts US Gulf Coast reference prices), with vendors quoting fixed markups or cost-plus fee structures and bearing transportation, delivery, and compliance documentation responsibilities. Vendors must maintain emergency delivery capability, 24/7 technical support, proof of proper FAA and EPA licensing, commercial general liability and pollution liability insurance, and detailed quality assurance and business continuity protocols.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, and Arizona, reflecting a geographic concentration in states with established general aviation infrastructure and multiple municipal or regional airport systems. Texas State Technical College (TSTC) Waco issued RFP 62 (proposals due November 16, 2026) for an IDIQ aviation fuel supply agreement covering Jet-A and 100LL products across a five-year estimated volume of 3,375,000 gallons of Jet-A and 485,000 gallons of 100LL Avgas, with pricing weighted at 50 points, supplier qualifications at 30 points, and operational support at 20 points. Collier County Board of County Commissioners, on behalf of the Collier County Airport Authority, issued RFP 268659 (proposals due September 17, 2026) for aviation fuel and ancillary services at three general aviation airports with approximately $5.5 million in historical annual spending, evaluated on business plan (25 points), cost (35 points), experience (25 points), and certified MBE/WBE or local vendor preference bonuses (15 points combined). The City of Tucson Police Department issued RFP 260210 (proposals due May 28, 2026) for Jet-A delivery to its Air Support Unit with an estimated 50,000-gallon annual volume. A Peachtree City Airport Authority RFI (due June 1, 2026) for FBO operations and corporate hangar redevelopment in Atlanta noted Perry Brothers as a current fuel supplier and included fuel flowage considerations in Phase Two FBO management proposals. No recent opportunities show activity in other states or regions.
