NIGP 40586: Propellant Fuels and Oxidizers, Chemical and Petroleum Based

NIGP 40586 Propellant Fuels and Oxidizers, Chemical and Petroleum Based (Item) covers the purchase and delivery of gasoline and diesel fuel to state and local government fleets and distributed infrastructure. State and local jurisdictions soliciting under this code buy refined petroleum products — gasoline, ultralow sulfur diesel, and other standard motor fuels — for fuel pumps, vehicle fleets, and operational sites. School districts are the primary recent buyers under this code, acquiring fuel for transportation fleets and distributed fueling infrastructure across multiple campuses and facilities.

Recent solicitations show school districts competing for fuel supply contracts through both RFQ and ITB routes with response dates spanning summer and fall 2026. Cobb County School District (Georgia) issued an RFQ in September 2026 for gasoline and diesel delivery to multiple CCSD sites, with proposals due September 30, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued ITB 26205-ITB-DST in August 2026 for approximately 1.75 million gallons annually of No. 2 red dye diesel fuel compliant with EPA Heavy Duty Highway Diesel Rule specifications, with delivery required to eleven storage sites across the county within 24 hours of order; the estimated annual contract value was $5.5 million, the bid due date was extended to June 30, 2026, and nine vendors submitted responses with per-gallon markups ranging from $0.0994 to $0.5908. Both opportunities reflect school districts' reliance on standard fuel supply contracts with fixed-cost or index-based pricing structures, compliance with environmental regulations, and service requirements tied to operational availability and fleet demand.
