UNSPSC 15101506: Gasoline or Petrol

UNSPSC 15101506 Gasoline or Petrol (Commodity) covers the supply and delivery of unleaded gasoline in bulk to state and local fleets, facilities, and transit systems—a foundational procurement category with steady demand across all jurisdictional types. Recent solicitations show municipalities, counties, special districts, and state agencies buying E10 unleaded gasoline (typically 87–89 octane), often paired with diesel and diesel exhaust fluid, for delivery to multiple locations including public works yards, fire stations, water treatment facilities, transit depots, and fuel islands. The City of Olathe, Kansas's IFB for bulk fuel (July 2026) exemplifies the scope: 287,750 gallons of E10 Unleaded annually across 30 delivery points, with OPIS-indexed pricing plus fixed markup, 24-hour delivery windows, and multi-year terms with renewal options. Similarly, the County of Ventura, California (RFP 6252, June 2026) sought 941,000 gallons of regular unleaded annually to 60 locations statewide, indexed to OPIS LA pricing with a mandatory pre-award site meeting and a three-year initial term plus two optional one-year renewals. Issuing bodies span city procurement offices (Waco, Nashua, Gainesville, Daytona Beach, Hayward, Milledgeville, Greenwich), county governments (Ventura, Escambia, Walton, Union County school systems), state departments (South Dakota, Texas TDCJ, California CARB), special-purpose districts (Eugene Water & Electric Board serving a multi-agency cooperative), and transit authorities (City of Gainesville's Regional Transit System). State-level buyers frequently aggregate demand across multiple agencies and locations; county and municipal buyers typically serve smaller service areas but maintain similar delivery-scheduling and fuel-specification rigor.

Recent activity spans the continental United States, with notable concentration in California (Ventura, Hayward, CDCR), Florida (Escambia, Walton, Manatee County schools, Daytona Beach, Gainesville), the Northeast (Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire), and the Mountain West (New Mexico, South Dakota, Kansas). The Eugene Water & Electric Board's cooperative procurement (ITB 26-068-GS, July 2026) illustrates multi-state scope: approximately 2.995 million gallons annually of E10 unleaded, B5 diesel, B20 diesel, and R99 renewable diesel across Oregon member agencies, indexed to OPIS with zone-based delivery zones out to 40+ miles from Eugene. The Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency (FY27ITB002, July 2026) sought 7,000 gallons of E10 gasoline plus 110,000 gallons of diesel and 2,200 gallons of DEF annually, with New Mexico Resident and Native American business preferences at 8–10 percent. Representative recent ITBs and RFPs include the City of Olathe (IFB 26-0041, due July 16, 2026), the County of Ventura (RFP 6252, questions due June 8), the State of South Dakota (IFB 26IFB19786, due May 5), and the School District of Manatee County (ITB 260110TM, due April 8). Pricing models uniformly tie to OPIS daily or weekly rack rates with bidder-supplied fixed markups; delivery windows rarely exceed 24 hours and often require emergency same-day or next-day service. Contracts typically run one to five years with optional one-year renewals, and awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or, increasingly, to multiple bidders to ensure supply redundancy.
