UNSPSC 12352158: Vehicle urea

It is an organic compound with the formula (NH2)2CO and is synthesized using ammonia and carbon dioxide. It is a raw material for vehicle urea water used for the purpose of removing nitrogen oxide, an air pollutant emitted from diesel vehicles.

UNSPSC 12352158 Vehicle urea, a Commodity code, appears in recent state and local solicitations primarily as a secondary line item or misfiled entry; the sourced opportunities show minimal direct procurement of vehicle urea itself. Instead, state and local governments are actively buying bulk motor fuels (gasoline, diesel, renewable diesel, biodiesel), diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), marine fuel, and related delivery and monitoring services. The issuing bodies span county governments, cities, school districts, and transit authorities. Sarasota County (Florida), the City of Austin (Texas), Escambia County (Florida), and the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (Texas) appear as repeat or high-volume buyers. The code's nominal scope does not align closely with the recent solicitation activity, which centers overwhelmingly on fuel supply and logistics rather than vehicle urea or other fluid additives or consumables in isolation.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, and Minnesota. Representative opportunities include the City of Austin's bulk motor fuels and DEF procurement (IFB 7800 MLJ1046, response due October 29, 2026) seeking unleaded gasoline, E10, E85, diesel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and DEF across 130 tank locations citywide with an estimated 5 million gallons annually; Sarasota County's marine fuel solicitation (IFB 262916KR, response due October 9, 2026) for waterfront dispensing of ethanol-free marine gasoline; and the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County's purchase and delivery of ultra-low sulfur diesel (IFB 2026000003, response due June 17, 2026) for approximately 34.98 million gallons over 24 months. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope, suggesting that vehicle urea procurement either falls under different UNSPSC codes, is bundled into broader fluid-supply contracts, or represents minimal procurement volume in state and local procurement channels today.
