UNSPSC 15121802: Anti corrosion lubricant

UNSPSC 15121802 Anti corrosion lubricant, a Commodity code, covers bulk and packaged motor oils, transmission fluids, greases, hydraulic oils, and diesel exhaust fluid that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, facilities operations, and heavy equipment. Recent solicitations show school districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipal public works departments buying these products in quantities ranging from hundreds to millions of gallons annually, with specifications typically calling for API-certified products in bulk drums or quart containers delivered to maintenance facilities or fuel storage sites. State and local buyers source through competitive sealed bidding (ITB, RFQ, RFB) and occasionally single-source or sole-brand procurements when incumbent suppliers or specialized requirements justify non-competitive awards. The issuing body mix spans independent school districts (Rockwood, Cobb County, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Harlingen Consolidated), county governments (Collier County, Denton County, Broward County), state agencies (Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, State of Florida), and cities (Waycross, Georgia).

Geographic activity centers on Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Washington, with the most recent and highest-volume solicitations concentrated in Florida. Representative opportunities include Washington State Department of Enterprise Services' statewide contract for bulk engine lubricants, greases, gear oils, and DEF (Solicitation 09225-02, bids due July 30, 2026, estimated $5.1 million annual historical sales); Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB for ultralow sulfur diesel fuel (ITB 26205-ITB-DST, estimated $5.5 million annually, nine competitive bids received, Colonial Oil Industries named as incumbent); Pinellas County School District's ITB for petroleum lubricants and anti-freeze across four maintenance facilities (ITB 26-AM-018, bids due August 26, 2026, approximately $135,000 annually); and the City of Waycross's RFQ for bulk motor oils and hydraulic oil (bids due June 4, 2026). Collier County, Florida is pursuing a five-year single-source contract with Schaeffer Manufacturing Company for fleet maintenance lubricants and transmission fluids effective October 1, 2026, and Broward County issued an RFI on June 23, 2026 to test the feasibility of multi-source supply alternatives to Mobil Lubricant products for Port Everglades ship-to-shore crane applications.
