UNSPSC 15111711: Fuel additives

Fuel additives are compounds formulated to enhance the quality and efficiency of fuels used in motor vehicles. They increase a fuel's octane rating or act as corrosion inhibitors or lubricants, thus allowing the use of higher compression ratios for greater efficiency and power. Fuel additive include acetone ,ether ,nitrous oxide (nitrous),nitromethane (nitro),butyl rubber, ferox, oxyhydrogen, ferrous picrate, silicone and other anti-foaming agents, tetranitromethane.

UNSPSC 15111711 Fuel additives is a Commodity code that covers the supply and delivery of bulk motor fuels and specialized fuel products, including gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, aviation turbine fuel, and associated additives and services to state and local government fleets, facilities, and operations. State and local governments procure under this code to supply vehicle fleets, equipment inventories, transit systems, aviation facilities, and waterfront operations with standardized, specification-compliant fuels and delivery infrastructure. The issuing bodies span county governments (Sarasota County, Solano County, Cobb County, Madison County, Hunt County), municipal governments (City of Austin), state technical colleges (Texas State Technical College), and transit authorities (Madison County Mass Transit). The work includes bulk fuel supply with OPIS-indexed pricing, delivery-service agreements with tank monitoring and emergency response capabilities, compliance with ASTM and state environmental standards (CARB, TCEQ, TxLED), and fleet-wide fuel logistics across distributed tank locations and geographic service areas.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Austin, Hunt County, TSTC Waco), Florida (Sarasota County), California (Solano County), and Illinois (Madison County Mass Transit), with recent opportunities spanning mid-2026 through late 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Austin's IFB 7800 MLJ1046 (October 29, 2026 response deadline) for approximately 5 million gallons annually of unleaded, ethanol, and diesel fuels across 130 tank locations with OPIS-indexed pricing and 24-hour delivery requirements; Madison County Mass Transit's IFB 27126700 (October 20, 2026) for B11 biodiesel and unleaded gasoline delivered to two locations with daily rack pricing from OPIS; Solano County's IFB 405060226 for 450,000 gallons annually of CARB-compliant unleaded and renewable diesel with local-business preference and automatic tank monitoring; and Texas State Technical College's RFP #62 (November 16, 2026) for aviation fuels (Jet-A and 100LL Avgas) under an indefinite-delivery agreement commencing April 2027. Sarasota County issued two marine fuel IFQs in rapid succession (August and October 2026) for waterfront dispensing facilities supplying ethanol-free marine gasoline to county vessels and operations on as-needed terms.
