NIGP 40547: Oil, Compressor

NIGP 40547 Oil, Compressor is an Item code covering lubricants and hydraulic fluids that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, transit operations, and equipment servicing. State and local buyers under this code source bulk petroleum products—including gear oils, motor oils, synthetic formulations, transmission fluids, diesel exhaust fluid, and chassis grease—on as-needed or standing-contract terms, typically with rapid delivery requirements and per-unit pricing structures. Transit authorities and consolidated municipal governments are the primary issuing bodies, purchasing these products to maintain vehicle and equipment fleets at scale.

Recent activity under the code centers on transit-system procurement. Columbus Consolidated Government in Muscogee County, Georgia issued RFB 26-0030 to METRA Transit System on February 16, 2026, with bids due March 11, 2026, to supply eight distinct petroleum products in specified annual volumes—ranging from 1,000 pounds of NLGI #2 chassis grease to 4,000 gallons each of 15W40 oil and transmission fluid—for delivery within 24 hours of order. The contract carries a three-year term, is partially funded by the Federal Transit Administration and Georgia Department of Transportation, and includes DBE participation requirements. Vendors must provide product literature, Material Safety Data Sheets, proof of licensing, insurance documentation, and federal compliance certifications including E-Verify affidavits for compensation of $2,500 or greater.
