UNSPSC 27112911: Oil cup

A device used to supply a small quantity of oil to the lubrication section of machine, equipment and motor.

UNSPSC 27112911 Oil cup, a Commodity code, addresses lubrication and fluid distribution components for automotive and equipment maintenance operations across state and local government fleets. State and local buyers under this code procure small-volume consumable supplies and replacement parts—oil cups, grease fittings, fluid couplers, hose assemblies, and related lubrication system components—as part of routine fleet maintenance and equipment servicing. The solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies including city purchasing departments, county boards of commissioners, and school district procurement offices, with activity spanning municipal fleet operations, wastewater treatment infrastructure, and emergency management standby equipment pools. Recent opportunities reflect both standalone component procurement (oil cups, grease guns, couplers, and fluid-transfer hardware) and broader system-level procurement where lubrication components anchor larger equipment specifications such as compressed air and lubrication systems for fleet maintenance facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department solicited automotive shop equipment and supplies including grease guns and hydraulic couplers through RFQ 26-P-00418 (due July 22, 2026). Paulding County, Georgia issued RFP #26024-1601 for a turnkey compressed air and lubrication system at its Fleet Maintenance Facility (due March 20, 2026). The City of Valdosta, Georgia sought bulk oils and lubricants through ITB #38-26 (due April 21, 2026). The School Board of Sarasota County, Florida established a supply agreement for automotive repair parts through Bid #26-0124 (due February 12, 2026), which includes lubrication-related consumables as secondary line items within a broader parts catalog. Worth County, Georgia's RFP for a four-post lift (due March 2, 2026) and the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice for Bredel pump parts (due May 21, 2026) both involve lubrication system components as ancillary elements to primary equipment procurement. Activity is lighter than typical for maintenance supplies codes, reflecting the narrow scope of oil cups as discrete commodities versus their integration into broader fleet-service and equipment-maintenance frameworks.
