UNSPSC 78181806: Aircraft fixed wing cockpit and passenger cabin pressurization system repair

Services related to the maintenance of and repairs to the oxygen and pressurization systems of an aircraft

UNSPSC 78181806 Aircraft fixed wing cockpit and passenger cabin pressurization system repair is a Commodity code representing aircraft maintenance and repair services that state and local governments actually procure as comprehensive on-call and term contracts for airframe, engine, avionics, and specialty system repairs across their aviation fleets. State and local buyers across this code span state departments of transportation and natural resources, municipal police and airport authorities, university aviation programs, and county emergency services, pursuing work through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices. Recent opportunities show wide variety in scope — from specialized engine overhaul (Rolls-Royce Model 250 series helicopter engines, Beechcraft and Cessna airframe services) to avionics installation, baggage handling system maintenance, propeller governor overhaul, and on-call aircraft maintenance covering multiple aircraft types within a single contract. Issuing bodies require current FAA repair station certification, often coupled with manufacturer authorization (Rolls-Royce, L3 Harris Wescam), and enforce compliance with FAA standards, prevailing wage rules where applicable, and comprehensive insurance including general liability of $1 million to $10 million per occurrence depending on scope. Solicitations consistently demand 30-to-45-day service turnaround for repairs, FAA-approved replacement parts only, and manufacturer warranty pass-through to the state.

Recent activity spans Texas (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Wescam surveillance camera system maintenance, Texas A&M University System aircraft maintenance for three Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft, Texas Department of Transportation aircraft paint and restoration), Illinois (Illinois Department of Transportation rebid for Beechcraft King Air and Cessna airframe services across 16 line items, estimated range $5,000 to $250,000 per line), Florida (Palm Beach County fuel procurement, City of Tampa Police Department Rolls-Royce helicopter engine support with $275,000 estimated annual expenditure), New Jersey (Department of the Treasury supplemental aircraft maintenance for 21-aircraft fleet of Bell, Cessna, Piper, and Agusta helicopters), Georgia (Middle Georgia State University propeller overhaul for 67-aircraft flight training fleet), and Michigan (Department of Natural Resources aviation radio installation). Illinois Department of Transportation has posted two rebid solicitations within six months (May 2026 and August 2026), signaling recurring procurement across state aviation divisions. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Waco RFP 2026-055 for baggage handling and passenger boarding bridge maintenance at Waco Regional Airport (due October 20, 2026), New Jersey Department of the Treasury Bid 26DPP01247 for fleet maintenance across four aircraft groups with 161 price lines and due October 9, 2026, and Texas A&M RFP SAIR-26-287 for Cessna Citation and Beechcraft King Air maintenance across the continental United States (due August 14, 2026).
