UNSPSC 15111705: Fuel stabilizer

A product that reduces the oxidation process that occurs when a fuel is stored for extended periods to prevent the formation of varnish and sludge.

UNSPSC 15111705 Fuel stabilizer is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers the supply and delivery of gasoline, diesel fuel, renewable diesel, and related fuel products to county fleet operations, water districts, transportation departments, and municipal facilities. The code encompasses on-demand and scheduled fuel delivery to multiple fuel storage tanks or distribution points, tank monitoring systems, pricing structured against daily commodity indexes (OPIS or DTN Energy FastRacks), and compliance with state air-quality standards such as California Air Resources Board regulations or Florida specifications. Issuing bodies include county governments (Hunt County, Texas; Solano County, California; Walton County, Florida; Alameda County Water District), state departments of transportation (Illinois Department of Transportation District 3), and cooperative purchasing groups (Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program in Massachusetts on behalf of 32 municipalities). Recent solicitations typically require bidders to be established fuel distributors or refiners with minimum experience in similar quantities, maintain comprehensive general liability and automobile liability insurance, install vendor-owned tank monitoring systems compatible with existing infrastructure, and deliver fuel within specified time windows (typically 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays).

Activity is geographically dispersed across California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, and Massachusetts within the past four months. Representative recent opportunities include the Solano County, California IFB 405060226 for bulk fuel supply and delivery services to nine fuel storage tanks supporting approximately 700 fleet assets, due July 20, 2026 (passed); the Alameda County Water District IFB 25/26-35 for gasoline and renewable diesel provision to five facilities in the East Bay, due May 15, 2026; Walton County, Florida ITB 26-17 for gasoline and diesel fuel supply to eight county locations with vendor-owned tank monitoring, due May 13, 2026; and the Illinois Department of Transportation District 3 IFB 26-494DOT-FINAD-B-51341 for diesel, biodiesel, and gasoline fuel delivery to four locations, due April 3, 2026. Solano County applied a local-business preference allowing qualified local bidders within five percent of the lowest bid to match and win; Illinois IDOT imposed a 3% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) participation goal. Contract terms typically span one to three years with renewal options at the agency's discretion. Pricing is nearly universally indexed to daily published rack prices with a fixed markup or markdown per gallon, ensuring price transparency and automatic daily adjustment.
