NIGP 40560: Oil, Marine Engine

NIGP 40560 Oil, Marine Engine is an Item code under which state and local governments procure bulk engine lubricants, transmission fluids, gear oils, greases, and diesel exhaust fluid for fleet and transit operations. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services' July 2026 solicitation for statewide bulk lubricant supply illustrates the scope: mineral, synthetic, and specialty lubricants; EPA-certified environmentally acceptable and re-refined products; greases and gear oils; and DEF, organized into separate award categories with no minimum order quantities and full product catalogs required throughout the contract term. State departments and transit authorities are the primary issuing bodies under this code. The Washington procurement identified the state Department of Transportation as a major historical buyer at approximately $1.224 million annually, with bulk DEF and 15W40 accounting for the largest product categories among roughly $5.1 million in total annual sales across eligible state agencies, higher-education institutions, political subdivisions, and federally recognized Indian tribes.
