UNSPSC 26101780: Oil injector or metering valve

Lubricating oil dispensing or metering device that measures and injects lubricant as required.

UNSPSC 26101780 Oil injector or metering valve (Commodity) describes components used in fuel-system and engine-control applications, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on school bus fleet maintenance and repair services, specifically air-conditioning system servicing and bulk lubricant supply. State and local governments are soliciting these services across school districts and county systems rather than procuring the injector or valve components directly; the code appears to capture downstream fleet-maintenance work driven by demand for reliable transportation infrastructure in education systems. The solicitations show school districts and their maintenance vendors handling refrigerant systems on multiple fuel types (diesel, electric, propane, gasoline) and acquiring bulk motor oil and synthetic transmission fluid to support large fleet operations, with technician certification in refrigerant handling and API-specification lubricant standards as baseline qualifications.

Issuing bodies include large school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia serving over 182,000 students, and Parkway School District in Missouri), which dominate recent activity. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for school bus air-conditioning maintenance and repair (due August 7, 2026, with a Small Business Encouragement Program participation requirement mandating minimum 20 percent of eligible expenditures directed to SBEP-certified subcontractors in the Tampa Bay area), Gwinnett County Public Schools' IFB for 18,750 gallons of bulk motor oil for low-emission diesel engines, 19,000 quarts of bottled motor oil, and 3,000 gallons of bulk synthetic transmission fluid annually (bids due September 30, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. EST through Euna Procurement, with a contract term of December 2, 2026 through December 1, 2027 and four one-year renewal options), and Parkway School District's RFB for bus and vehicle OEM parts and service covering blanket purchase orders on an as-needed basis (due May 19, 2026). Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Missouri; the code shows limited breadth across other jurisdictions in the current opportunity set.
