UNSPSC 27112917: Grease gun hose

A component or part on a tool used to apply lubricant through an aperture to a specific point, usually on a grease fitting or 'nipple'.

UNSPSC 27112917 Grease gun hose is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader lubrication and automotive-fluid supply market. State and local governments buy grease gun hoses as part of integrated automotive and fleet maintenance procurement, typically bundled with other lubricants, engine oils, transmission fluids, and related equipment. Recent opportunities show that school districts, municipal fleet departments, and wastewater management agencies purchase these items on an as-needed basis under blanket purchase orders and term contracts that span six months to one year, with pricing firm for the contract period and automatic or on-call delivery. The work is straightforward product supply with no complex installation or specialized services — vendors stock inventory, respond to orders, and deliver FOB destination within stated timeframes, usually five business days or less. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (notably large systems like Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia with over 182,000 students), city purchasing departments, county school boards, and municipal departments managing fleet operations and wastewater treatment facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The School Board of Marion County, Florida issued ITB 4188MF (bids due August 12, 2026) for engine oil, lubricants, and automotive fluids including greases under a six-month term contract through March 30, 2027 with multiple delivery locations across the county. Gwinnett County Public Schools (Georgia) posted B-2704BM (bids due September 30, 2026) for 18,750 gallons of bulk motor oil and transmission fluid annually under a one-year contract with four optional renewals. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department issued RFQ 26-P-00418 (quotes due July 22, 2026) for 19 line items including grease guns and automotive shop supplies for delivery within five working days. Parkway School District posted solicitation 2751 (bids due October 27, 2026) for lubrication products on a blanket purchase order basis. The City of Orlando issued IFB 260538 for motor oil, lubricants, and used-fluid recycling collection. Activity is concentrated among school districts and city fleet operations, with less frequent but recurring municipal wastewater and watershed management procurement.
