UNSPSC 78142202: Airport maintenance

Maintenance work to ensure the safe operation of Civil / Mechanical / Electrical / Building equipment, infrastructure and facilities and to ensure compliance to Engineering Standards, OHSACT and Aviation Regulations and other relevant legislation/standards.

UNSPSC 78142202 Airport maintenance is a Commodity code covering the repair, overhaul, and support services that state and local airport operators and aviation-dependent agencies contract for to keep aircraft fleets, ground equipment, and infrastructure operational. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span aircraft engine and airframe repair (including major overhauls and on-call maintenance), avionics and radio system installation and certification, specialized component work such as propeller overhaul and baggage handling system maintenance, fuel supply and delivery, and engineering design for airport infrastructure projects. The issuing bodies are a mix of municipal airport authorities, state transportation and natural resources departments, university aviation programs, and specialized law enforcement and forestry aviation divisions. Cities including Tucson, Tampa, and Waco; counties including Palm Beach; and state entities including the Illinois Department of Transportation, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and Michigan Department of Natural Resources all have posted opportunities under this code within the past six months. Repeat activity from certain states—particularly Florida, Texas, and Illinois—suggests sustained procurement demand for aircraft maintenance and parts in those jurisdictions.

Recent solicitations show geographic spread across Florida, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and Utah, with multiple concurrent opportunities in some states. Representative recent opportunities include Palm Beach County's dual IFB for Jet A fuel purchase, transport, and delivery (due November 5, 2026), the City of Waco's RFP for baggage handling system and passenger boarding bridge on-call maintenance at Waco Regional Airport (due October 20, 2026), Illinois Department of Transportation's rebid IFB for Beechcraft and Cessna airframe maintenance and repair services with 16 line items ranging $5,000–$250,000 each (posted August 12, 2026), the City of Tampa Police Department's ITB for Rolls-Royce helicopter engine support services with an estimated annual spend of $275,000 and total contract value of $562,000 across initial and renewal periods (posted August 10, 2026), and New Jersey Department of the Treasury's RFQ for maintenance of a 21-aircraft fleet including Bell, Cessna, Piper, and Agusta helicopters with quotes due October 9, 2026. Texas A&M University System and Middle Georgia State University are procuring scheduled and unscheduled aircraft maintenance for training fleet operations. Pricing tiers reflect the range from consumables (fuel at bulk delivery) to specialized labor-intensive services (FAA-certified engine overhaul and avionics installation), with some line-item contract values reaching $250,000 and multi-year terms extending to ten years with annual renewal options.
