UNSPSC 15101509: Marine fuel

UNSPSC 15101509 Marine fuel is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing gasoline and diesel fuel for fleet vehicles, school buses, county operations, and marina fueling — not exclusively marine applications despite the code name. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, and cities buying gasoline and diesel for distributed fueling infrastructure at multiple sites, with pricing typically indexed to OPIS or NYMEX futures benchmarks and vendors quoting fixed per-gallon markups over daily rack averages. Hillsborough County Public Schools sought ultralow sulfur diesel (approximately 1.75 million gallons annually) delivered to eleven storage tanks ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 gallons, with 24-hour delivery required and NYMEX-indexed pricing; Cobb County School District solicited proposals for gasoline and diesel delivered to multiple school sites; and Ventura County issued RFPs for approximately 2 million gallons annually across four fuel grades delivered to roughly sixty locations. School districts and county governments dominate the recent activity, though the City of Daytona Beach and City of St. Petersburg also solicited marine-grade fuel for marina operations. Vendors must typically demonstrate three or more years of fuel-supply experience, maintain specified insurance (pollution liability, commercial general, auto), comply with EPA and state regulations, and meet E-Verify and business-licensing requirements.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida and California. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) awarded multiple vendors on an ITB for diesel fuel with an estimated annual value of $5.5 million and nine competitive bids; Cobb County School District (Georgia) posted an RFP for gasoline and diesel due September 30, 2026; County of Ventura (California) issued RFP 6259 for fuel due August 26, 2026, with historical annual spending of $4.6 million and RFP 6252 posted in May 2026 covering approximately 2 million gallons across four fuel grades; the City of Daytona Beach (Florida) sought marine fuel for Halifax Harbor Marina under ITB 2634 due July 23, 2026, covering approximately 110,000 gallons of gasoline and 125,000 gallons of diesel annually with pricing tied to OPIS Jacksonville rack; and the City of St. Petersburg (Florida) released IFB 24-092 for marine-grade fuel (approximately 225,000 gallons gasoline and 130,000 gallons diesel) with pricing indexed to Port of Tampa OPIS rates. School districts and counties in Florida and California represent the strongest recent concentration of activity under this code.
