UNSPSC 15101901: Refined oil

Fuel oil produced by refining waste oil by physical or chemical methods such as heating or mixing chemicals. According to the refining method, it is divided into ionic refined oil, reduced pressure refined oil, and high temperature refined oil.

UNSPSC 15101901 Refined oil (Commodity) covers motor oils, lubricants, diesel fuels, gasoline, kerosene, propane, diesel exhaust fluid, and related petroleum products that state and local governments procure for fleet operations, facility maintenance, and equipment upkeep. Recent state and local solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring finished petroleum products on both blanket purchase-order and requirements-contract bases, with delivery either as-needed or on standing schedules to multiple operational sites.

State departments, county governments, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts all solicit under this code. Repeat buyers include Sarasota County (marine fuel and general fuel supply), the City of Tucson (fuel for multiple agencies including Sun Tran), Orange County Transportation Authority (fleet fuels and diesel exhaust fluid), New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services (diesel and kerosene statewide), and Pinellas County School District (lubricants and anti-freeze for bus operations). Activity spans fuel supply (gasoline, diesel, marine fuel, biodiesel, kerosene, propane), lubricants and oils (motor oils in multiple grades, transmission fluid, hydraulic oil, grease), and ancillary products (diesel exhaust fluid, antifreeze, heat transfer fluid). Representative recent opportunities include Sarasota County's invitation for quotes for marine fuel supply on an as-needed basis from a waterfront dispensing facility with a three-year term (due October 9, 2026); the City of Urbana, Illinois ITB for USL #2 dyed diesel fuel delivery to its Landscape Recycling Center, with estimated annual consumption of 10,000–12,000 gallons and a two-year contract term (due October 29, 2026); the Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency's ITB for bulk fuel and diesel exhaust fluid with estimated annual volumes of 110,000 gallons of diesel, 7,000 gallons of E10 gasoline, and 2,200 gallons of DEF, renewable annually for up to ten years (bid opening July 30, 2026); and the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services' request for bids on on-road and off-road ultra-low sulfur diesel supply and delivery across six geographic districts to 129 fuel distribution points with estimated annual consumption of approximately 238,090 gallons (due September 18, 2026). Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast (Florida, including Sarasota County and Pinellas County School District), Southwest (Arizona and Texas), Midwest (Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin), and Northeast (New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey), with scattered activity across other states including New Mexico, California, and Colorado.
