UNSPSC 78181812 Aircraft fixed wing pneumatic system repair is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure aircraft maintenance and repair services under this code far more broadly than its nominal scope suggests—recent opportunities show engines, airframes, avionics, instruments, propeller overhaul, radio installation, fuel delivery, painting, and comprehensive on-call maintenance across fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters operated by police aviation units, state departments, universities, and transit authorities. The actual buying pattern spans FAA-certified repair station work, parts supply and markup, labor-hour pricing, field service response, component rental, warranty coverage, and emergency AOG support. Issuing bodies include state transportation and natural resources departments (Illinois, Texas, Michigan, Nevada), municipal police and airport authorities (Tampa, Tucson, Waco), higher-education flight programs (Texas A&M University System, Middle Georgia State University), county commissions (Palm Beach County), and special-purpose aviation divisions. Illinois Department of Transportation and Palm Beach County appear as repeat solicitors within the recent posting window.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Florida, Michigan, and Georgia, with scattered activity in Arizona, Nevada, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Transportation's rebid IFB B-52781 (posted August 12, 2026, due August 27, 2026) for Beechcraft King Air 350 and Cessna airframe services with line-item estimated costs from $5,000 to $250,000; the City of Tampa Police Department's ITB 26P00177 (posted August 10, 2026, due April 20, 2026—note past due date in source) for Rolls-Royce Model 250 helicopter engine support at an estimated annual expenditure of $275,000; the New Jersey Department of the Treasury's bid 26DPP01247 (posted July 31, 2026, due October 9, 2026) for maintenance of 21 aircraft across Bell, Cessna, Piper, and Agusta platforms; and the City of Waco's RFP 2026-055 (posted September 17, 2026, due October 20, 2026) for on-call baggage handling system and passenger boarding bridge maintenance. Palm Beach County's dual Jet-A fuel procurement RFPs (posted September 22 and October 2, 2026, both due November 5, 2026) exemplify commodity-level fuel-supply activity under the same code. Bidders typically must hold FAA Part 145 repair station certification, maintain liability insurance of $1 to $10 million per occurrence depending on scope, and comply with prevailing wage and disadvantaged business enterprise preferences where applicable.
