UNSPSC 78181829: Aircraft fixed wing engine teardown service

Services associated with the disassembly of an aircraft engine

UNSPSC 78181829 Aircraft fixed wing engine teardown service, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve aircraft fuel supply, baggage handling and passenger boarding bridge maintenance, propeller overhaul, general aircraft and airframe maintenance and repair, helicopter engine support services, aviation radio installation, and aircraft paint services — none of which constitute engine teardown. The code shows minimal substantive alignment with posted solicitations.

The opportunities that do touch on engine or powerplant work — the Illinois Department of Transportation rebid for Beechcraft King Air 350 and Cessna piston airframe services (IFB B-52781, due August 27, 2026), the City of Tampa Police Department's Rolls-Royce Model 250 series helicopter engine support services procurement (ITB 26P00177, due April 20, 2026), and Middle Georgia State University's propeller and propeller-governor overhaul RFQ (RFQ58300ERFQ0019772027, due October 5, 2026) — address maintenance, repair, and overhaul rather than teardown specifically. The broader solicitation pattern under this code reflects state departments, county governments, municipal police and airport authorities, and higher-education institutions buying aircraft maintenance labor, parts, and specialty services on an as-needed or term basis. Issuing bodies include the Illinois Department of Transportation, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, New Jersey Department of the Treasury, City of Tampa, Palm Beach County, and Middle Georgia State University. Geographic concentration spans Illinois, Florida, Texas, Georgia, New Jersey, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada. The code appears misclassified for the work volume it currently attracts, warranting verification of actual commodity classification before pursuing opportunities posted under this UNSPSC number.
