NIGP 40514: Gasohol

NIGP 40514 Gasohol, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of gasoline and diesel fuel by state and local governments for fleet operations and facility fueling infrastructure. State and local buyers under this code purchase refined fuel products — gasoline, diesel, and ultralow sulfur diesel — for delivery to distributed fueling stations and tank farms that support school district vehicles, maintenance equipment, and transit operations. Recent solicitations show school districts as the dominant buyer category, soliciting fuel supply contracts that specify delivery schedules, sulfur content compliance, storage capacity requirements, and pricing mechanisms tied to commodity futures markets. The scope includes full-service fuel delivery with liability assumption, emergency response capabilities during natural disasters, and multilingual safety documentation.

Cobb County School District (Georgia) and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) represent the recent activity in this code. Cobb County issued RFP P27050 on September 1, 2026, with a September 30 response deadline, soliciting gasoline and diesel fuel delivery to multiple CCSD fueling sites. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26205-ITB-DST (posted August 24, 2026, originally due June 23 and extended to June 30) for approximately 1.75 million gallons annually of No. 2 red dye diesel fuel with 15 ppm sulfur content, specifying delivery to eleven storage sites across the county with 24-hour delivery windows and NYMEX futures-based pricing. The Hillsborough contract, estimated at $5.5 million annually, drew nine competitive bids with per-gallon markups ranging from $0.0994 to $0.5908, and awarded to multiple awardees including incumbent Colonial Oil Industries. Both opportunities indicate school districts in the Southeast driving near-term activity in this commodity code.
