UNSPSC 25172411: Fuel tank float

Ball or other shaped device used in vehicle fuel tanks to indicate fuel level.

UNSPSC 25172411 Fuel tank float (Commodity) sees sparse state and local procurement activity in current postings, with the code appearing in only one directly relevant solicitation—a compressed natural gas tank replacement contract. The Orange County Transportation Authority in California is procuring 336 Hexagon Agility CNG fuel tank cylinders (model 240270-164A) with integral float-based fuel-level sensing components for forty-eight 2007-2008 New Flyer LFR buses under IFB 250095, with bids due April 20, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. The tanks are rated at 315.4 L capacity, NGV2 standard, 3600 psig, mounted in pairs per bus across seven tanks total, and must comply with DOT FMVSS 304 and CGA C6.5 standards. Installation and pressure testing occur at the contractor's facility; the contractor delivers completed cradle assemblies to OCTA's Santa Ana Base for final bus installation, with all work to complete within 365 days at an estimated contract value of $2,721,744.00 firm fixed-price. Warranty covers one year from completion of eight-hour in-service testing with twenty-four-hour support across three operating bases. The remaining opportunities in the dataset—a Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice, a Sourcewell law-enforcement-equipment cooperative contract, two fleet inventory and parts management solicitations, and various vehicle-maintenance and trailer-repair contracts—do not involve fuel tank floats and do not suggest material activity under this code beyond the Orange County opportunity.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows geographic concentration in California with the Orange County Transportation Authority engagement, and broader activity appears insufficient to characterize a regional or national trend. Transit authorities represent the primary issuing-body type for commodity-level fuel-system components in the current posting set, driven by fleet electrification and alternative-fuel adoption in public transportation. The Orange County procurement reflects a discrete modernization project rather than ongoing consumables sourcing, and no repeat buyers or standing supply agreements are evident in recent opportunities. Firms pursuing this code should monitor transit authorities in growth corridors and regions with formal alternative-fuel mandates, particularly in California, the Pacific Northwest, and Northeast corridors where CNG and hydrogen transition programs drive equipment replacement cycles.
