NIGP 40572: Oil, Refrigeration

NIGP 40572 Oil, Refrigeration (Item) encompasses the purchase and delivery of fuel products — gasoline, diesel, and ultralow sulfur diesel — that state and local governments procure to supply distributed fueling infrastructure across school districts, transportation agencies, and county maintenance facilities. State and local buyers under this code are primarily school districts and state transportation departments managing multi-site fuel supply chains with centralized procurement but dispersed delivery requirements. Cobb County School District and Hillsborough County Public Schools have both issued recent solicitations for gasoline and diesel supply to multiple campus and facility locations, while the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has solicited HVAC services that fall tangentially within refrigeration scope. Contracts typically structure pricing as per-gallon markups over commodity futures settlement prices (NYMEX) with monthly price locks, fixed-cost structures, and automatic renewal options tied to appropriations and performance.

Recent opportunities span school districts in Georgia and Florida and state departments in California. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an ITB (26205ITBDST) in August 2026 for approximately 1.75 million gallons annually of No. 2 red dye diesel fuel at an estimated contract value of $5.5 million, with delivery required to eleven storage sites across the county within 24 hours of order and nine competitive bids received ranging from $0.0994 to $0.5908 per-gallon markup; Colonial Oil Industries held the incumbent award. Cobb County School District posted a proposal solicitation (PE63310NONST2027000000224) in September 2026 for gasoline and diesel fuel delivery to multiple CCSD sites with a September 30, 2026 response deadline. Vendors competing under this code must demonstrate multi-year fuel-supply experience, maintain EPA compliance and state licensing, carry appropriate insurance, meet E-Verify and prevailing-wage requirements where applicable, and support 24/7 technical response including hurricane-response prioritization in Florida contracts.
