UNSPSC 15110000: Gaseous fuels and additives

UNSPSC 15110000 Gaseous fuels and additives is a Family code encompassing state and local procurement of bulk and packaged fuels—gasoline, diesel, propane, biodiesel, and diesel exhaust fluid—for fleet, facilities, and equipment operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying motor fuels for vehicle fleets (gasoline and diesel), heating and emergency generator fuels, propane for institutional heating and water systems, diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) for emissions compliance, and specialty fuels including renewable diesel and biodiesel blends. The issuing bodies are predominantly county transportation authorities, municipal departments (public works, fleet management, water utilities), state agencies, special-purpose districts (solid waste authorities, transit authorities, school districts), and cooperative purchasing consortia spanning multiple jurisdictions. Repeat buyers include state departments of administrative services (New Hampshire, Delaware), municipal fleet divisions across Texas and Florida, and multi-jurisdiction fuel cooperatives in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Massachusetts.

Recent activity spans Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, California, Michigan, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Delaware. Representative recent solicitations include Hunt County, Texas ITB 260705 for gasoline and diesel fuels (due August 11, 2026); the City of Santa Fe on behalf of the Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency ITB FY27ITB002 for bulk fuel and diesel exhaust fluid supply at approximately 110,000 gallons diesel, 7,000 gallons E10 gasoline, and 2,200 gallons DEF annually (due July 30, 2026); Caesar Rodney School District ITB SRS27937BULKLPG for bulk liquified petroleum gas across three Delaware counties with delivery and equipment installation (due August 19, 2026); Dallas Area Rapid Transit ITB 2099845 for off-road diesel fuel delivery to multiple facility locations (due July 10, 2026); and Escambia County, Florida ITB PD 25-26.082 for diesel and gasoline delivery across nine facilities in estimated annual volumes of 893,069 gallons gasoline, 1,002,084 gallons dyed diesel, 3,031 gallons clear diesel, and 1,500 gallons ethanol-free gasoline (due June 26, 2026). Cooperatives and consortia—Bucks County Consortium (673,000 gallons unleaded regular, 116,000 premium, 368,500 diesel, 40,673 propane due June 12, 2026), Montgomery County Consortium, Pennsylvania (790,700 gallons regular unleaded, 501,000 super unleaded, 933,735 diesel due May 20, 2026), and Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (FY27-14 through FY27-17 fuel products including gasoline, diesel, heating oil, and liquid propane due April 17, 2026)—demonstrate strong recent activity in leveraging collective volume to negotiate competitive pricing. Award criteria typically emphasize lowest responsive bid, price stability tied to indices such as OPIS rack pricing, delivery reliability within 24–48 hours, and local vendor preferences where applicable. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are prevalent; many issuing bodies manage fuel through consortia to optimize procurement across member jurisdictions.
