UNSPSC 27112901: Grease guns

UNSPSC 27112901 Grease guns (Commodity) encompasses the lubrication products and automotive fluids that state and local governments actually procure for fleet maintenance, facilities operations, and vehicle servicing. Recent solicitations show grease guns as one component within broader lubrication and automotive-fluid packages—the School Board of Marion County, Florida's ITB 4188MF, for instance, specified RT Litoplex grease tubes alongside diesel engine oil, synthetic motor oils, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, and diesel exhaust fluid. The City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00418 similarly listed grease guns among 19 line items of automotive shop equipment and supplies. School districts, county public schools, municipal departments, and transit/fleet operators drive demand under this code. Parkway School District procured lubrication products under a blanket purchase-order agreement; Marion County Schools, Gwinnett County Public Schools (the largest school system in Georgia, serving over 182,000 students), and the City of Orlando each issued term contracts for engine oil, lubricants, and related automotive fluids on an as-needed basis. Vendor qualifications typically require proof of established brand credentials, API certification where applicable, current insurance (Commercial General Liability, Business Automobile Liability, and Product Liability at $1,000,000 per occurrence), and compliance with state preference requirements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Marion County Schools' six-month term contract (ITB 4188MF, bids due August 12, 2026) specified delivery to seven locations across Marion County with firm pricing through March 30, 2027 and three optional one-year renewals; Gwinnett County Public Schools issued B-2704BM (bids due September 30, 2026) for 18,750 gallons of bulk motor oil annually plus bottled motor oil and synthetic transmission fluid, with contract term December 2, 2026 through December 1, 2027 and four optional one-year renewal periods. The City of Orlando's IFB 260538 (due September 25, 2026) bundled new-fluid supply and used-fluid recycling as integrated services. The City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00418 (quotes due July 22, 2026) covered grease guns and related supplies for various city departments. Parkway School District's blanket purchase order (Solicitation 2751, due October 27, 2026) remained open for ongoing lubrication-product orders. The Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's IFB/DWM/2606-1270045 (bids due October 2, 2026) addressed pump-parts replacement rather than grease guns directly.
