UNSPSC 15101503: Naphtha

UNSPSC 15101503 Naphtha is a Commodity code covering the purchase and delivery of refined petroleum products—specifically gasoline, diesel, and ultralow sulfur diesel fuel—to state and local government fleets and distributed fueling infrastructure. State and local governments buy under this code primarily to fuel school district vehicle fleets and transportation operations; the work centers on negotiating per-gallon pricing structures pegged to commodity futures benchmarks, managing delivery logistics across multiple storage sites, and ensuring compliance with EPA fuel specifications and environmental regulations. Issuing bodies include school districts and county public-school systems that operate their own fueling networks and fleet operations. Solicitations typically flow through ITB and RFP channels with annual or multiyear contract terms structured around NYMEX futures pricing with monthly price locks and per-gallon markups negotiated at bid.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast, with the Cobb County School District (CCSD) in Georgia and Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida both active in this market. CCSD posted RFP P27050 on September 1, 2026 (responses due September 30, 2026) for gasoline and diesel fuel supply to multiple district sites. HCPS issued ITB 26205-ITB-DST on August 24, 2026, for approximately 1.75 million gallons annually of No. 2 red dye diesel with 15 ppm maximum sulfur content, with delivery to eleven fuel storage sites across the county and an estimated annual contract value of $5.5 million; HCPS received nine competitive bids and issued a Notice of Intent to Award on July 13, 2026, with Colonial Oil Industries as the incumbent. Contracts typically require vendors to demonstrate minimum three years of fuel-provision experience, maintain state licensing and insurance with specified ratings, comply with E-Verify and drug-free workplace requirements, and provide 24/7 technical support with priority response during natural disasters.
