UNSPSC 15111510: Liquified petroleum gas

UNSPSC 15111510 Liquified petroleum gas, a Commodity code, covers propane supply and delivery to state and local facilities, including bulk tank refills, bobtail deliveries, cylinder exchanges, fueling infrastructure installation, and emergency response. State and local governments under this code procure propane primarily for heating, fleet fueling, and operational support at schools, correctional facilities, transit depots, public works yards, and state agency locations. Recent solicitations show school districts and transit authorities as the dominant buyer category, with isolated activity from state departments, city public works divisions, and county boards of education. School districts across multiple states are sourcing propane on annual or multi-year as-needed contracts with fixed per-gallon pricing; transit authorities are investing in propane fueling infrastructure as alternative-fuel capability; and corrections and state facilities are securing supply contracts through competitive sealed bidding. Vendors must typically hold minimum three to five years of propane delivery experience, maintain Texas Railroad Commission licenses or equivalent state certifications, employ DOT-certified technicians, carry comprehensive liability and pollution coverage, and comply with prevailing wage and local-vendor preference requirements where applicable.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, Mississippi, Illinois, California, and South Dakota. The City of Austin issued IFB 7800 MAS1011 for HD-5 propane supply and delivery to Fleet Mobility Services with an October 20, 2026 response date, requiring 250,000 gallons annually across four tank locations with 5% local-vendor preference and small-business subcontracting discounts.
