UNSPSC 15111504: Ethylene

UNSPSC 15111504 Ethylene, a Commodity code, describes state and local procurement of bulk motor fuels—predominantly unleaded gasoline, diesel, ethanol blends (E10, E54, E85), renewable diesel, and compressed natural gas—delivered to distributed fueling infrastructure serving government vehicle and equipment fleets. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying fuel supply, delivery, monitoring, and fueling-station operation across multiple fuel types and dispensing modalities, from traditional pump-based systems to emerging hydrogen and CNG infrastructure. Issuing bodies span county transportation authorities, municipalities, county governments, school districts, and state departments. The County of Solano, City of Austin, Cobb County School District, Orange County Transportation Authority, City of Tucson, Pima County, and Sarasota County appear as active recent buyers. School districts and county fleets are pursuing commodity fuel supply (gasoline, diesel, propane); transportation authorities are procuring both commodity fuels and specialized infrastructure operation (CNG stations, hydrogen mobile fuelers); and municipal and county governments are seeking bulk fuel supply with inventory monitoring and delivery scheduling to support 700 or more fleet assets.

Recent activity clusters in California, Texas, Arizona, Georgia, and Florida. The City of Austin issued an IFB for 5 million gallons annually of unleaded gasoline, ethanol fuels, diesel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and DEF with a response deadline of October 29, 2026. Sarasota County issued two consecutive IFQs for marine fuel (ethanol-free gasoline) from waterfront facilities, with the most recent due October 9, 2026 (IFQ 262916KR). The Orange County Transportation Authority released RFP 260461 for two hydrogen mobile fuelers on September 15, 2026, budgeted at $5.872 million for a one-year term with optional renewals. Cobb County School District and Paulding County School District jointly solicited propane supply and equipment by August 31, 2026. The County of Solano issued an IFB for bulk unleaded gasoline and renewable diesel with approximately 450,000 gallons annually and local-business preference. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services reissued a statewide solicitation for bulk engine lubricants, greases, gear oils, and DEF across four categories serving approximately $5.1 million in annual sales historically, with bids due July 30, 2026. The Orange County Transportation Authority operates two active lines: one for CNG fueling-station operation and maintenance at three bases (RFP 250282, $2.181 million for three years), and a separate hydrogen mobile-fueler procurement (RFP 260461) following cancellation of an earlier attempt (RFP 250236) in June 2026.
