NIGP 06064: Lubricating System and Parts (see 060-42 for Filters and Class 075 for Equipment)

NIGP 06064 Lubricating System And Parts, an Item code, encompasses motor oils, transmission fluids, and related lubricants that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and transit authorities buying bulk motor oil meeting API service standards for diesel engines, synthetic transmission fluids for vehicle fleets, and air-conditioning refrigerants and maintenance services for school buses. The code captures both commodity purchases (bottled and bulk lubricants delivered to maintenance facilities) and the service component of system maintenance and repair, particularly refrigerant handling and air-conditioning servicing for Type A and Type C school buses.

School districts dominate recent solicitation activity under this code. Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia posted a bulk bid in September 2026 for 18,750 gallons of annual motor oil (API CK-4 or equivalent) and 3,000 gallons of synthetic transmission fluid (Allison TES-668 approved) with delivery to six fleet maintenance facilities, contract term December 2026 through December 2027 with four one-year renewal options. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida issued RFP 26286RFQDST in September 2026 for school bus air-conditioning maintenance and repair services requiring EPA and MACS compliance, technician certification in R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerant systems, and a Small Business Encouragement Program participation minimum of 20 percent subcontractor spend directed to SBEP-certified Tampa Bay vendors. Parkway School District in Missouri solicited OEM parts and repair services for its bus fleet in May 2026 through a blanket purchase order with estimated 24-month term. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, and Missouri, with school transportation fleets as the primary customer base.
