UNSPSC 15121504: Hydraulic oil

UNSPSC 15121504 Hydraulic oil, a Commodity code, covers the supply of mineral and synthetic hydraulic fluids in multiple packaging formats — 55-gallon drums, bulk gallons, cases, pails, and quarts — that state and local governments procure to support fleet and heavy equipment maintenance across transit authorities, city public works departments, county solid waste agencies, and school districts. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers establishing both single-award and multi-award supply agreements with pricing tied to API Service Requirements certification and guaranteed compatibility with original equipment manufacturer specifications. Issuing bodies include transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority in Texas), city transit and waste management agencies (City of Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency in New Mexico), county and municipal governments (Collier County, Florida; City of Valdosta, Georgia), and regional transit systems (Columbus Consolidated Government METRA in Georgia). Geographic activity spans New Mexico, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut, with the largest recent competitive opportunity posted by Washington State Department of Enterprise Services in July 2026, serving statewide agencies and political subdivisions. Delivery timelines are typically critical contractual elements — most solicitations require 24 to 72 hours from order placement — and vendors commonly absorb freight costs under FOB Destination terms, though some jurisdictions including Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency accept bulk metered-truck delivery with vendor cleanup and remediation responsibility for spills and contamination.

Washington State Department of Enterprise Services posted a reissued statewide supply contract (Solicitation 09225-02) due July 30, 2026, covering bulk engine lubricants, greases, gear oils, and diesel exhaust fluid across four categories with estimated annual historical sales of $5.1 million and a 48-month term from September 2026; the solicitation applies a 1.5 percent vendor management fee and a 10 percent DBE participation goal under Federal Transit Administration requirements. Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency issued an ITB (FY27ITB001) due July 31, 2026, for motor oils and lubricants to support fleet and heavy industrial equipment with New Mexico Resident Business, Native American Resident Business, and Resident Veteran Business preferences available; the Agency intends multiple awards and a one-year initial term renewable for up to ten additional years. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a request for hydraulic oil, neutral 100 in 55-gallon drums (purchase order 2100019) due July 13, 2026, with Net 30 payment terms and strict delivery-schedule enforcement. These opportunities reflect active, recurring procurement with established preferences and multi-year contract vehicles that support baseline fleet operations, though no guaranteed purchase volumes are disclosed.
