UNSPSC 15111700: Fuel additives

UNSPSC 15111700 Fuel additives is a Class code under which state and local governments procure bulk motor fuels and associated delivery services, including gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, aviation fuels, marine fuels, and ancillary products such as diesel exhaust fluid and fuel system icing inhibitor. Recent solicitations reveal that "fuel additives" as a code designation masks the actual scope: respondents are supplying complete fuel products with specified chemical composition and performance standards (ASTM, CARB, FAA, and TxLED compliance), along with logistics, tank monitoring, emergency delivery capability, and quality assurance programs. Issuing bodies include county transit authorities, municipal fleet operations, school districts, county general services departments, and specialized agencies such as airport operators and parks departments. Buyers are typically consolidated at the departmental level—a single procurement officer managing countywide or districtwide fuel supply for fleets ranging from 130 tank locations to 700+ vehicles and equipment.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, and California. The City of Austin's IFB 7800 MLJ1046 (bids due October 29, 2026) seeks 5 million gallons annually of unleaded, E10, E85, diesel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and DEF across 130 tank locations, with pricing benchmarked to OPIS and local business preference discounts up to five percent; the Texas State Technical College RFP #62 (proposals due November 16, 2026) establishes a three-year IDIQ for 675,000 gallons annually of Jet-A and 97,000 gallons of 100LL Avgas with 50-point weighting on pricing, 30 points on supplier qualifications and quality assurance, and 20 points on operational approach.
