UNSPSC 15111504: Ethylene

UNSPSC 15111504 Ethylene is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring ethylene under this code based on recent activity; instead, the tagged opportunities show purchasing of bulk fuel supply and delivery (unleaded gasoline, renewable diesel, diesel exhaust fluid, compressed natural gas, and renewable natural gas), CNG and hydrogen fueling station operation and maintenance, and renewable fuel credits and RIN management services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests limited or misaligned use of this Commodity code in state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities span county fleet operations, state departments, transit authorities, and municipal governments across California, Massachusetts, South Dakota, Illinois, and Washington. The County of Solano (General Services Department) issued an IFB for bulk fuel supply and delivery of unleaded gasoline and renewable diesel to county fuel facilities through June 30, 2027; the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services issued a statewide cooperative contract for engine lubricants, greases, gear oils, and diesel exhaust fluid with a forty-eight-month term commencing September 1, 2026; the Orange County Transportation Authority solicited operation and maintenance services for compressed natural gas fueling stations serving 481 CNG-powered buses under a $2.181 million three-year contract; the City of Santa Monica issued an IFB for renewable diesel fuel delivery to fleet and fire department operations over five years at an estimated annual spend of $1.25 million; and the Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (Massachusetts) solicited cooperative bids for fuel products including gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, and liquid propane for 32 participating municipalities. Additional recent activity includes hydrogen infrastructure development—the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for hydrogen mobile fuelers ($6.779 million estimated) and the County of Sacramento's Request for Solution for a hydrogen refueling station design, construction, and operation over a potential fifteen-year land lease—and the City of Albuquerque's RFP for renewable natural gas procurement and RIN credit management services supporting transit fleet operations.
