NIGP 40545: Oil, Chain Saw

NIGP 40545 Oil, Chain Saw is an Item code under which state and local governments procure petroleum lubricants and specialty oils for fleet maintenance, equipment operation, and facility support. Recent solicitations show that the code covers a wide range of bulk lubricants — gear oils, transmission fluids, synthetic motor oils, diesel exhaust fluid, and chassis grease — purchased on an as-needed basis by counties and transit authorities to keep vehicles and equipment operational across 24/7 service environments. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and transit systems like METRA in Columbus-Muscogee County, Georgia solicit under this code, indicating that county governments and public transit authorities are the primary issuing bodies.

Hillsborough County, Florida and Columbus-Muscogee County, Georgia represent the geographic centers of recent activity. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue issued an ITB on July 7, 2026 (ITB2600319) for consumable janitorial and operational supplies, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year with response due July 24, 2026, with delivery to multiple fire stations across Tampa.

Both solicitations require authorized distributors, Material Safety Data Sheets, proof of business licensing, and compliance with local procurement and federal requirements where applicable (FTA and GDOT compliance in the transit case).
