UNSPSC 15101606: Jellied alcohol fuels

UNSPSC 15101606 Jellied alcohol fuels (Commodity) frames the purchase of specialized fuel products, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a clear mismatch: both posted opportunities involve the purchase and delivery of conventional petroleum diesel and gasoline to school district fleets and fueling infrastructure, not jellied alcohol fuels. Cobb County School District (CCSD) in Georgia solicited proposals for gasoline and diesel fuel delivery to distributed fueling sites across the district (RFP due September 30, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida issued an ITB for approximately 1.75 million gallons annually of ultralow sulfur diesel fuel compliant with EPA Heavy Duty Highway Diesel Rule specifications, with delivery to eleven storage sites across the county. The scope of work reflects standard school district fleet fueling operations — bulk fuel procurement with multi-site delivery, regulatory compliance, and performance requirements such as 24-hour delivery windows and 24/7 technical support during emergencies. Both issuing bodies are county school districts, representing the primary buyer category under this code designation.

Activity is geographically concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with no additional recent opportunities in the broader record. The Hillsborough County ITB (26205ITBDST) closed June 30, 2026, with nine competitive bids received and a Notice of Intent to Award issued July 13, 2026; the contract is fixed-cost with an estimated annual value of $5.5 million, pricing structured as a per-gallon markup over NYMEX NY Harbor ultralow sulfur diesel futures prices, and the incumbent awardee is Colonial Oil Industries. Bidders were required to demonstrate a minimum of three years' fuel provision experience, maintain proper Florida licensing, provide proof of insurance with AM BEST rating of A- or better, and comply with E-Verify and drug-free workplace certifications. The code shows minimal recent activity, and the opportunities recorded do not align with the nominal scope of jellied alcohol fuels — they represent routine diesel and gasoline procurement for school district operations.
