UNSPSC 15101513: Diesel fuel off road

Diesel fuels specifically formulated for use off roads and highways

UNSPSC 15101513 Diesel fuel off road is a Commodity code capturing the supply and delivery of off-road diesel to state and local fleets, facilities, and transit operations. State and local governments procure this fuel primarily for law enforcement vessels, solid waste management operations, transit bus fleets, county and municipal equipment, and school district transportation—typically through blanket purchase agreements, multi-year supply contracts, and cooperative purchasing consortia structured around OPIS-indexed or fixed-markup pricing with 24-hour or next-business-day delivery. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities, with Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, and Colorado-based jurisdictions well-represented in recent activity; cooperative purchasing groups serving multiple municipalities also bid regularly under this code.

Recent solicitations reflect the range of scope: the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued an IFB in July 2026 for marine-grade No. 2 diesel supply to law enforcement vessels at the Galveston Yacht Basin (725 gallons estimated annually, delivery within five miles, pricing on OPIS rack index plus vendor constant); the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County issued an IFB in May 2026 for approximately 34.98 million gallons of ultra-low sulfur diesel over 24 months to support transit operations, requiring 24/7 availability at primary and backup rack locations with 200,000-gallon weekly emergency guarantees; the City of Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency solicited bulk fuel and DEF supply through an ITB in July 2026 for 110,000 gallons of No. 2 ultra-low sulfur diesel annually with New Mexico resident and Native American business preferences (8–10 percent); the County of Solano, California sought bulk unleaded gasoline and renewable diesel (RD99) through an IFB in July 2026 for 450,000 gallons annually across nine fuel storage tanks supporting 700+ fleet assets with local-business preference applying within five percent of lowest bid. School districts in Mississippi and Georgia bid sealed diesel contracts with fixed-term pricing in June 2026. Geographic concentration clusters in Texas, California, Florida, and the Northeast; seasonal demand in northern states driving heating oil and biodiesel blends complicates this commodity code's categorization.
