NIGP 40508: Distillates, Petroleum (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 40508 Distillates, Petroleum (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code covering aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel, and specialized petroleum products that state and local governments procure for fleet fueling, facility operations, and specialized services. Recent solicitations show school districts and state higher-education institutions buying bulk quantities of gasoline and diesel for distributed fueling infrastructure, aviation fuel for campus airports, and specialty petroleum products such as motor oils, transmission fluid, hydraulic oil, and anti-freeze for vehicle maintenance operations. Work is solicited through RFP, ITB, and cooperative purchasing arrangements; contracts typically establish standing supply agreements with delivery to multiple district or institutional locations, frequently spanning three to five years with optional renewals. Issuing bodies include county and independent school districts, state technical colleges, and other public entities managing centralized vehicle or equipment maintenance.

The code sees recent activity in Florida and Texas, with school districts representing the primary buyer class. Representative recent opportunities include Texas State Technical College's RFP #62 (posted October 15, 2026, due November 16, 2026) for aviation fuel services at TSTC Waco Airport—requesting 675,000 gallons of Jet-A and 97,000 gallons of 100LL Avgas annually under an IDIQ agreement commencing April 1, 2027; Cobb County School District's RFP for gasoline and diesel fuel delivery across multiple sites (due September 30, 2026); and Pinellas County School District's ITB #26-AM-018 for petroleum lubricants and anti-freeze (due August 26, 2026, valued at approximately $135,000 annually) for delivery to four vehicle maintenance facilities in Largo, Tarpon Springs, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. Pricing evaluation typically weighs fuel costs, delivery logistics, quality assurance compliance with ASTM and FAA standards where applicable, and supplier qualifications. School districts frequently reference state procurement contracts as pricing benchmarks during evaluation.
