NIGP 40530: Kerosene

NIGP 40530 Kerosene, an Item code, encompasses the purchase and delivery of refined fuel products to state and local government sites, though recent solicitations show school districts buying gasoline, diesel, and ultralow sulfur diesel fuel for fleet and equipment fueling infrastructure rather than kerosene specifically. State and local governments procure under this code to supply distributed fueling operations across their vehicle fleets and maintenance facilities, with delivery to multiple storage tanks and pump locations. School districts dominate the recent issuing-body mix, reflecting the transportation and facilities-management fuel needs of large K–12 systems.

Cobb County School District (Georgia) and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) posted the most recent opportunities. Cobb County School District issued RFP P27050 on September 1, 2026, closing September 30, 2026, for purchase and delivery of gasoline and diesel fuel to multiple district fueling sites. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26205-ITB-DST on August 24, 2026, for approximately 1.75 million gallons annually of ultralow sulfur No. 2 red dye diesel fuel (15 ppm maximum sulfur) with delivery to eleven storage sites across the county and 24-hour turnaround required during weekday service hours; the estimated annual contract value was $5.5 million, nine vendors submitted bids with per-gallon markups ranging from $0.0994 to $0.5908, and the Notice of Intent to Award identified multiple recommended awardees on July 13, 2026. Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with the scope focused on high-volume fuel supply contracts structured on commodity pricing (NYMEX futures settlements plus per-gallon markups) and multi-year renewal terms tied to appropriations and performance.
