UNSPSC 15121900: Greases

UNSPSC 15121900 Greases is a Class code covering the supply of lubricating greases and related products that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, equipment operations, and facility upkeep. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing multi-purpose greases, specialty greases with molybdenum disulfide (molly) additives, and grease products bundled with motor oils, transmission fluids, and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) in bulk, drum, cartridge, and individual-unit quantities. Issuing bodies span state procurement offices, county governments, cities, and transit authorities. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services and San Bernardino County have posted statewide or multi-location agreements; Collier County and Hillsborough County have pursued fleet-focused procurements; and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority has solicited discrete grease line items. No school districts or special-purpose districts appear in the recent activity block.

Geographic activity clusters in the Pacific Northwest (Washington), Southwest (Arizona, California), and South (Texas, Florida), with procurement occurring across multiple counties and city jurisdictions. Representative current opportunities include the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services' reissued competitive bid (Solicitation 09225-02, due July 30, 2026) for statewide bulk lubricants including greases, with approximately $5.1 million in historical annual sales and a 48-month contract term commencing September 1, 2026; San Bernardino County's invitation to bid (ITB VHS126-CFMAI-6328, due April 14, 2026) for motor oils and greases across eight service locations with a five-year term; and the City of Yuma's request for bid (RFB-26-251, due March 26, 2026) for lubricants and greases in bulk and packaged formats supporting fleet and facility maintenance. Most solicitations specify name-brand products only, API or OEM certification requirements, rapid delivery (typically within 4–10 business days), and F.O.B. destination pricing. A 10 percent DBE participation goal applies to the Washington procurement under Federal Transit Administration requirements; San Bernardino County grants a five percent local vendor preference under Policy 11-10.
