UNSPSC 15101500: Petroleum and distillates

UNSPSC 15101500 Petroleum and distillates is a Class code that covers the purchase and delivery of bulk motor fuels—gasoline, diesel, renewable diesel, and diesel exhaust fluid—to support fleet operations, essential services, and facility maintenance across state and local government agencies. State and local governments procure this code through a mix of county purchasing departments, city financial services offices, transit authorities, school districts, water utilities, and state departments of transportation. The issuing-body mix includes county governments (Hunt County, Walton County, Escambia County, Solano County), cities (Hayward, Waco, Santa Monica, Gloucester, Daytona Beach, Gainesville, Temple, Worcester), special-purpose districts (Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency, Alameda County Water District), transit authorities (METRO Harris County), school districts (Union County Board of Education, Parkway School District, South Panola School District, Leake County Board of Education), state agencies (California Department of Transportation, Illinois Department of Transportation, South Dakota), and cooperative purchasing groups (Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program, Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission).

Recent opportunities span Texas, California, Florida, Massachusetts, South Dakota, Illinois, Georgia, Mississippi, and Missouri, with Texas and California representing the highest concentration of recent activity. Representative solicitations include Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's blanket fuel contract for Marine Grade No. 2 Diesel (IFB 8022776408, due July 29, 2026) for law enforcement vessels at Galveston Yacht Basin; Solano County's bulk fuel supply and delivery for unleaded gasoline and renewable diesel across nine locations (IFB 405060226, due July 20, 2026) estimated at 450,000 gallons annually; City of Hayward's supply and delivery of unleaded gasoline, renewable diesel, and Neste-MY renewable diesel to nine fire stations and facilities (RFQ #26-046, due June 30, 2026) with approximately $1 million in annual spending; Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County's purchase and delivery of Diesel Exhaust Fluid to five bus operating facilities (IFB Doc1968711798, due March 4, 2026 and February 18, 2026) for up to 375,000 gallons annually over three years; and City of Gainesville Regional Transit System's gasoline and diesel fuel procurement (ITB RTSX-270001-DS, due May 15, 2026) for a five-year term requiring approximately 1 million gallons of diesel and 65,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline annually. Pricing structures across these opportunities consistently use Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) rack pricing as the base with bidder-submitted markups or markdowns per gallon, delivery is typically required within 24 hours of order on an FOB destination basis, and contracts commonly run one to five years with renewable options. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—New Mexico Resident Businesses and Native American vendors receive eight to ten percent preferences in Santa Fe; California's Solano County applies local-business preference within five percent of lowest bid; and Caltrans procurements include five percent Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise incentives.
