UNSPSC 25172406: Fuel tanks

UNSPSC 25172406 Fuel tanks, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement and replacement of above-ground and underground storage tanks (typically 8,000 to 12,000 gallons) used by state and local governments for diesel, unleaded, and compressed natural gas fuel, along with associated installation, decommissioning, inspection, maintenance, and repair services. State and local buyers include county public works departments, transit authorities, state departments of transportation, school districts, and specialized agencies such as the California Science Center. Work currently being solicited ranges from complete tank replacement with new concrete pads and bollard protection to routine inspection and preventive maintenance contracts spanning multiple maintenance stations across a region. Representative recent opportunities include Boulder County Building Services (Colorado) requesting bids to replace a 10,000-gallon above-ground fuel tank at its Nederland facility (IFB due October 27, 2026); Bryan County (Georgia) soliciting a turnkey design-build replacement of a 12,000-gallon split fuel tank with dual dispensers and fuel management integration (sealed bids due October 1, 2026, pre-bid September 21); Orange County Transportation Authority (California) procuring 336 Hexagon Agility CNG fuel tank cylinders for forty-eight buses at $2,721,744 firm fixed-price (bids due April 20, 2026); and Caltrans Division 08 issuing an IFB for fuel pump and tank services in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties covering testing, certification, and repair across multiple sites (May 19, 2026 deadline).

Recent activity concentrates in California (Caltrans multi-county procurement for inspection and repair services, fuel dispensers, underground tank maintenance, and regional compliance testing), Colorado (Boulder County tank replacement), and Georgia (Bryan County fuel island and Gwinnett County Public Schools motor oil—tangential to tank procurement but present in the opportunity stream). Caltrans appears as a frequent issuer, posting multiple IFBs and IFPQs for fuel tank and pump services across districts. Pre-bid meetings and site visits are standard practice; payment and performance bonds are commonly required above certain thresholds (typically $25,000 to $50,000), and California Small Business or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise preferences apply to most state solicitations. Insurance requirements are consistent across issuers—Commercial General Liability of $1 million per occurrence with $2 million aggregate is standard. Prevailing wage applies to California DOT work and projects exceeding $15,000–$30,000 depending on scope. Contract terms typically run one to two years with renewal options.
