UNSPSC 71171701: Jet fuel recertification

Analytical services for the recertification of jet fuel

UNSPSC 71171701 Jet fuel recertification is a Commodity code that in practice covers fuel supply and delivery services for state and local operations, though the recent opportunities show minimal activity directly tied to jet fuel recertification itself. The solicitations instead reflect procurement of finished aviation fuels (Jet A, Avgas 100LL) and petroleum products (gasoline, diesel) for county fleets, municipal airports, university aviation programs, and law enforcement aircraft operations. State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code span county governments, cities, airport authorities, university systems, and special districts. County purchasing offices appear frequently—Ventura County, Walton County, Alameda County Water District, and Beaufort County all solicited fuel supply contracts in the past six months. Municipal airports and aviation authorities also drive activity: the City of Tucson Police Department, City of Dalton, and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (Okaloosa County) sought aviation fuel suppliers or fuel farm maintenance services. University aviation programs, including Texas Southern University and Middle Georgia State University, issued fuel supply RFPs. Pricing structures typically index to OPIS (Oil Price Information Service) rack averages with vendor markups or discounts, and most contracts specify compliance with ASTM and FAA standards, multi-year terms with renewal options, and substantial insurance requirements (general liability minimums ranging from $1 million to $25 million depending on scope).

Geographic activity clusters in California (Ventura, Alameda), Florida (Walton, Okaloosa), Georgia (Peachtree City, Dalton, Middle Georgia State University), Arizona (Tucson), South Carolina (Beaufort), and Texas (Houston). Recent representative solicitations include Ventura County's RFP 6252 (due June 23, 2026) for 2.02 million gallons annually of gasoline and diesel across four fuel grades with $4.6 million historical annual spending; the City of Tucson Police Department's RFP 260210 (due May 28, 2026) for 50,000 gallons of Jet-A annually to support aviation operations; Alameda County Water District's IFB 25/26-35 (due May 15, 2026) for unleaded gasoline, renewable diesel, and ultra-low-sulfur diesel to five facilities; and Walton County's ITB 26-17 (due May 13, 2026) for fuel delivery with vendor-owned tank monitoring systems installed at eight county locations. Beaufort County issued RFP 031226 (due March 12, 2026) seeking an aviation fuel service provider for Beaufort Executive Airport. The Okaloosa County fuel farm maintenance and repair solicitation (due January 28, 2026) targets a specialized niche: preventive maintenance and emergency repair of 301,700 gallons of above-ground storage capacity serving six airlines at a regional airport. Most opportunities remain open or recently closed; no awards are named in the source material.
