UNSPSC 15101611: Anthracite or hard coal

A type of coal that has fine carbonization without smoke for combustion, low volatilization and high fixed carbon contents of between 85 and 95 percent.

UNSPSC 15101611 Anthracite or hard coal is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code are actually soliciting fuel delivery and management services — marine gasoline from waterfront dispensing facilities, diesel fuel for fleet operations, vehicle fluids and recycling services, and related logistics — rather than coal products. The issuing bodies span county governments, school districts, and a regional cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell), all seeking to establish term contracts for fuel supply and distribution to support their operational fleets and facilities.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Florida (Sarasota County, Hillsborough County Public Schools, City of Orlando) and extends to Georgia (Cobb County School District), Wisconsin (Waukesha County), and multi-state cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26205-ITB-DST, posted August 24, 2026 (bids due June 30, 2026, extended), soliciting approximately 1.75 million gallons annually of ultralow sulfur diesel fuel for delivery to eleven storage sites across the county with an estimated annual contract value of $5.5 million and multiple awardees selected; Sarasota County's IFQ 262916KR, posted October 9, 2026 (quotes due October 9, 2026), for ethanol-free marine gasoline from a waterfront facility within two miles of specified coordinates, anticipating approximately 8,000 gallons annually with a three-year initial term; Cobb County School District's proposal solicitation PE63310NONST2027000000224, posted September 1, 2026 (due September 30, 2026), for gasoline and diesel fuel delivery to multiple school sites; and Sourcewell's cooperative RFP 26RFP091726, posted July 30, 2026 (due September 17, 2026), for fuel delivery with related services for its member entities. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured diverge significantly; firms pursuing opportunities in this category should focus on fuel logistics, supply, and fleet management rather than coal products.
