UNSPSC 15121903: Fluoropolymer grease

UNSPSC 15121903 Fluoropolymer grease, a Commodity code, covers specialized high-performance lubricating greases that state and local governments procure for fleet and equipment maintenance operations. The recent solicitations tracked under this code show that state and local buyers are actually purchasing a broader range of lubricating products — mineral oils, synthetic blends, EPA-certified environmentally acceptable lubricants, multipurpose greases with molybdenum disulfide additives, and diesel exhaust fluid — as part of integrated statewide and countywide supply contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Enterprise Services), counties (Hillsborough County in Florida, Collier County in Florida, San Bernardino County in California, Brazoria County in Texas, Dallas County in Texas via the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and transit authorities. The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services and San Bernardino County have emerged as active repeat buyers, with Washington's historical annual lubricant and DEF spend totaling approximately $5.1 million and San Bernardino's five-year contract spanning eight geographically dispersed service locations.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in the Southwest and Southeast. Washington State posted a competitive bid solicitation (09225-02, due July 30, 2026) for statewide supply contracts in four categories including greases, gear oils, and similar lubricating products, with a 48-month term commencing September 1, 2026 and a 10 percent DBE participation goal. San Bernardino County issued an ITB (VHS126-CFMAI-6328, due April 14, 2026) for motor oils, lubricants, and related equipment across eight locations with a five-year term beginning November 2026, accepting only name-brand products from manufacturers including Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Shell, Castrol, and Ford Motorcraft and applying a five percent local vendor preference. Hillsborough County (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026) solicited janitorial and operational supplies for its fire rescue department with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year. Collier County (PUR17431) issued a notice of intent to single source Schaeffer Manufacturing Company for fleet maintenance lubricants including engine oils and multipurpose grease on a five-year term from October 2026 through September 2031. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (Reference 2096804, due February 10, 2026) procured multipurpose grease with molybdenum disulfide additive. Texas and Florida jurisdictions show consistent procurement activity, while California and Washington demonstrate larger-volume, longer-term contracting patterns.
