UNSPSC 15101509: Marine fuel

UNSPSC 15101509 Marine fuel, a Commodity code, covers the supply of gasoline and diesel fuel to public harbors, marinas, and county operations—fuel delivered to fixed storage and distributed on demand for resale or operational use. State and local governments soliciting under this code are city governments, counties, and special-purpose authorities managing maritime facilities and fleet operations. The City of Daytona Beach, the County of Ventura, and Walton County, Florida have all posted recent opportunities; Ventura County's scope is substantially larger, covering scheduled and on-demand fuel supply to approximately 60 county locations statewide with estimated annual volumes of 2.02 million gallons and historical annual spending of $4.6 million, whereas Daytona Beach's ITB 2634 seeks supply for Halifax Harbor Marina with approximately 110,000 gallons of gasoline and 125,000 gallons of diesel annually. Work solicited includes standard delivery of unleaded and diesel fuel to fixed tank farms with 24- to 36-hour delivery windows, emergency or same-day response during weather events or operational critical needs, installation and monitoring of vendor-owned tank systems, pricing indexed to regional OPIS rack averages plus a firm per-gallon markup, and compliance with ASTM and state environmental standards including sulfur content, additive requirements, and temperature correction for billing.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California. The City of Daytona Beach issued ITB 2634 with bids due July 23, 2026, the County of Ventura posted RFP 6252 with proposals due June 22, 2026, and Walton County, Florida issued ITB 26-17 with sealed bids due May 13, 2026. All three opportunities specify three-year initial terms with renewal options at the issuing body's discretion, firm fixed markups or discounts applied to published daily rack prices, and require vendor demonstration of financial stability, insurance coverage including pollution liability where applicable, emergency response capability, and references from comparable marine or fleet fueling operations. Daytona Beach's contract includes non-mandatory pre-bid on June 26 and requires 10 percent bid security plus 100 percent performance security; Ventura County mandates a pre-award meeting before Fall 2026 work start and requires a Business Continuity Plan with 24/7 emergency protocols and mobile fueling deployment. Walton County permits local vendor preference under its purchasing policies and does not require bid security. The source shows no relevant opportunities unrelated to marine fuel supply; all four fuel-related solicitations align directly with the code's scope.
