UNSPSC 12131800: Propellants

UNSPSC 12131800 Propellants is a Class code covering the supply and delivery of fuel products to state and local government operations. State and local governments procure unleaded gasoline, diesel fuel, ultra-low sulfur diesel, and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) for fleet vehicles, buses, and facility operations under this code. Solicitations specify fuel grades and delivery terms calibrated to agency operations — bulk delivery to fuel islands, on-demand tank-wagon refueling at distributed sites, and direct "wet fueling" of vehicles at remote locations. Issuing bodies include county governments, school districts, and other special-purpose agencies. Walton County, Florida and the School District of Manatee County, Florida are recent active buyers. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options and establish pricing tied to commodity-rack benchmarks plus fixed per-gallon markups. Vendors must install or maintain tank monitoring systems, meet federal and state fuel specifications including ASTM D4814 and D975 standards, carry insurance with the jurisdiction named as additional insured, and comply with local environmental regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida. Walton County issued ITB #26-17 on April 13, 2026 for gasoline and diesel fuel supply to eight county locations including Public Works and road districts, with sealed bids due May 13, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and pricing based on OPIS Pensacola rack averages plus a fixed bidder markup held firm through the contract term. The School District of Manatee County issued ITB 260110TM on April 13, 2026 for fuel and DEF delivery services running June 1, 2026 through May 30, 2029 with two optional renewal years, anticipating approximately 434,000 gallons of diesel and 101,000 gallons of gasoline annually for bulk fueling plus 250 gallons of diesel per day for ten buses at Parrish Community High School, with bids due April 8, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. via VendorLink and pricing submitted as a fixed fee per gallon above Tampa PADD 1 Terminal rack averages. Both solicitations offer local vendor preference and carry no identified set-asides for disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises.
