UNSPSC 15101505: Diesel fuel

UNSPSC 15101505 Diesel fuel is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply and delivery of on-road diesel, marine diesel, and related products to state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. State and local governments procure diesel fuel for fleet operations, transit buses, public works equipment, law enforcement vessels, solid waste management, airports, wastewater treatment, and emergency response. The issuing-body mix spans all major jurisdiction types: state departments (South Dakota), counties (Walton County FL, Solano County CA, Hunt County TX, Escambia County FL), cities (Waco TX, Nashua NH, Daytona Beach FL, Hayward CA, Santa Fe NM, Gainesville FL, Temple TX), school districts (Union County Board of Education GA, Leake County Board of Education MS, South Panola School District MS), transit authorities (METRO Harris County TX, Regional Transit System Gainesville FL), and special-purpose districts (Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency, Alameda County Water District CA). Recent activity shows repeat procurement across multiple tiers of government, with contracts typically ranging from 12 to 60 months and emphasizing delivery reliability, pricing transparency through OPIS rack indexing, and emergency capability.

Geographic spread is broad, with concentrated recent activity in Texas (METRO, Waco, Temple, Walton County, Gainesville), California (Solano County, Hayward, Alameda County Water District, Orange County), Florida (Walton County, Daytona Beach, Escambia County), and New England (Nashua NH, Massachusetts multi-jurisdictional cooperatives). Representative recent opportunities include Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's IFB for marine-grade No. 2 diesel to supply law enforcement vessels in Galveston (11,000 gallons annually, bids due July 29, 2026), Solano County's IFB for bulk fuel supply and delivery of unleaded gasoline and renewable diesel to nine fuel storage tanks across six locations (450,000 gallons annually, bids due July 10, 2026), City of Hayward's RFQ for supply and delivery of unleaded gasoline, renewable diesel, and Neste-MY renewable diesel with fuel card services to fire stations and corporation yard (contract term five years, responses due June 30, 2026), and the City of Gainesville Regional Transit System's ITB for gasoline and diesel fuel to a single on-site fueling location (one million gallons diesel and 65,000 gallons gasoline annually, responses due May 15, 2026). Pricing structures consistently employ OPIS daily or weekly rack averages plus vendor markup, with F.O.B. destination delivery within 24 hours of order and emergency delivery capability as standard requirements. Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear in several markets, including the Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (Massachusetts, 32 participating municipalities) and the Capitol Region Purchasing Council (Connecticut municipalities). School districts typically solicit annual contracts with fixed pricing and no renewal options, while transit and county fleets favor multi-year terms with renewal rights. Recent activity shows no set-aside concentrations; most jurisdictions do not impose disadvantaged-enterprise participation goals on fuel procurement, though some California cities apply local-vendor preferences (Solano County, Hayward, Orange County).
