NIGP 40584: Oil, Wax (Paraffin)

NIGP 40584 Oil, Wax (Paraffin), Item, covers the purchase and delivery of refined petroleum fuels — primarily gasoline and diesel — that state and local governments buy for fleet operations and distributed fueling infrastructure. School districts are the primary buyers under this code, procuring fuel through competitive bidding to supply fuel pumps and storage tanks across their operational sites. The work involves not fuel production but vendor selection, pricing negotiation typically pegged to commodity futures indices (NYMEX), and logistics coordination for regular delivery to multiple locations with varying tank capacities and service-hour constraints.

School districts in Florida and Georgia represent the recent activity under the code. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26205-ITB-DST for approximately 1.75 million gallons annually of No. 2 red dye diesel fuel with a bid response due June 30, 2026, and a Notice of Intent to Award issued July 13, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $5.5 million; the contract runs for an initial term with up to four additional one-year renewal periods, and the incumbent vendor is Colonial Oil Industries. Cobb County School District posted RFP P27050 on September 1, 2026, for the purchase and delivery of gasoline and diesel fuel to multiple CCSD fueling sites, with proposals due September 30, 2026. Both opportunities use commodity-indexed pricing structures with per-gallon markups over published futures prices, require 24-hour or faster delivery performance, demand EPA compliance and spillage liability assumption, and specify multi-year or evergreen contract terms subject to appropriations.
