NIGP 07546: Lubrication Equipment: Guns, Hoses, Fittings, Lubricators, Oil Pumps, etc. (Including Oil Filter Presses)

NIGP 07546 Lubrication Equipment: Guns, Hoses, Fittings, Lubricators, Oil Pumps, Etc. (Including Oil Filter Presses) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure motor oils, synthetic fluids, greases, diesel exhaust fluid, hydraulic fluids, brake cleaners, and associated delivery and recycling services for fleet maintenance operations. Recent solicitations show that buying agencies treat this code as a vehicle-fluids commodity covering both supply of new packaged and bulk lubricants and, in some cases, collection and eco-friendly recycling of used fluids. School districts, municipal departments, and county governments constitute the primary issuing bodies, with school boards appearing across multiple recent opportunities — Parkway School District (Missouri), Marion County Schools (Florida), and Gwinnett County Public Schools (Georgia) all posted blanket or term contracts for lubricants within the past two months. Municipal fleet and wastewater operations also drive demand: the City of Orlando (Florida) solicited comprehensive motor-fluid supply paired with hazardous-waste management, and the City of Tampa (Florida) requested automotive shop supplies including grease guns and hydraulic fluids. The Atlanta Department of Watershed Management posted an IFB for Watson-Marlow Bredel pump replacement parts supporting wastewater treatment equipment.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary postings in Missouri and Georgia. The School Board of Marion County, Florida (ITB 4188MF, due August 12, 2026) requested engine oil, synthetic blends, greases, transmission fluid, 45,000 gallons of diesel exhaust fluid with tank installation and 24-hour emergency delivery service, and brake cleaner — all to meet API and major equipment-manufacturer specifications (Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Cummins, Ford) across six delivery locations, with a six-month firm-pricing term from October 1, 2026 through March 30, 2027 and optional one-year renewals. Gwinnett County Public Schools (B-2704BM, due September 30, 2026) sought 18,750 gallons of bulk low-emission diesel motor oil annually, 19,000 quarts of bottled motor oil, and 3,000 gallons of Allison TES-668 transmission fluid under a contract term running December 2, 2026 through December 1, 2027, with up to four additional one-year renewals. The City of Orlando (IFB260538, due September 25, 2026) issued a blanket purchase order for lubrication products on an as-needed basis, and the City of Tampa (RFQ 26-P-00418, due July 22, 2026) requested grease guns, hydraulic couplers, flex hosing, and related supplies in 19 line items across departments. Vendors must typically hold $1 million commercial general liability and product liability insurance, comply with state-preference requirements where applicable, and furnish API certifications or equivalent manufacturer approvals.
