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, a Commodity code, shows recent state and local procurement activity centered not on chemical additives but on bulk supply and delivery of gasoline and diesel fuels to support fleet operations, emergency response, and essential services. The code is being used to tag fuel-supply solicitations that include transport logistics, tank monitoring systems, and pricing mechanisms tied to daily commodity indices rather than additive formulations. Counties, special-purpose water districts, and state departments are the dominant issuing bodies, with no standout repeat buyers across the recent opportunities.

Recent activity spans California, Texas, Massachusetts, and Illinois. The County of Solano, California (IFB 405060226) is seeking bulk fuel supply, delivery, and remote inventory monitoring for unleaded gasoline and renewable diesel across nine storage tanks serving approximately 700 county fleet assets, with pricing indexed to OPIS daily rates and deliveries through June 2027; the solicitation closed July 20, 2026 and includes a local-business preference within five percent of the lowest bid. Hunt County, Texas (ITB 260705) issued an invitation to bid for gasoline and diesel fuels with responses due August 11, 2026, though scope details are limited. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program in Massachusetts (FY2714151617), acting as a cooperative purchasing vehicle for 32 Berkshire County municipalities, included fuel products (gasoline, diesel, heating oil, and liquid propane) among 20 highway-supply categories in a joint bid with an April 17, 2026 deadline. The Alameda County Water District in California (IFB252635) solicited fuel provision and delivery for five facilities with an estimated 55,000 gallons annual unleaded gasoline, 55,000 gallons renewable diesel, and 8,500 gallons red-dye diesel, with bids due May 15, 2026 and a two-year base term plus three optional one-year renewals. Walton County, Florida (ITB 2617) and the Illinois Department of Transportation District 3 (IFB 26494DOTFINADB51341) round out recent activity, with IDOT including a 3% Business Enterprise Program participation goal and fuel deliveries across four locations in Iroquois and DeKalb counties through April 2028.
