UNSPSC 15121901: Silicone grease

UNSPSC 15121901 Silicone grease is a Commodity code that in practice captures a broad range of general supplies and equipment procurements by state and local entities, extending well beyond the nominal product category. Recent solicitations under this code reflect the tag-mapping patterns typical of state and local procurement systems, where general-supplies RFPs and RFBs are often coded to commodity-level UNSPSC entries regardless of their actual content. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Philadelphia), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas), county courts (Hillsborough County Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court in Florida), city departments of aviation (City of Atlanta), higher-education purchasing (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple jurisdictions nationwide (Sourcewell).

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Midwest, with recent solicitations originating from Texas, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Washington state, plus a multi-state cooperative vehicle managed out of Minnesota. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Philadelphia's October 2026 micro-purchase RFQ for art and office supplies (due October 15, 2026); Northside Independent School District's September 2026 IFB for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services in San Antonio (due September 24, 2026); Hillsborough County Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court's August 2026 ITB for media podium equipment with an estimated value of $184,061 (due August 3, 2026); City of Atlanta Department of Aviation's August 2026 IFB for network switch replacement labor and materials (due August 3, 2026); University of Wisconsin-Madison's July 2026 RFB for electronic supplies (due July 22, 2026); and Sourcewell's June 2026 RFP for law enforcement equipment as a statewide cooperative contract available to thousands of public entities nationwide (due June 16, 2026). The code shows active posting velocity across multiple issuing-body types and notice structures, suggesting broad use as a default coding bin for supplies and services that do not fit narrower commodity categories.
