UNSPSC 27112918: Grease gun injector

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

UNSPSC 27112918 Grease gun injector is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure motor oils, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, diesel exhaust fluid, greases, transmission fluids, and related automotive maintenance products on blanket purchase order and term-contract bases for fleet operations. School districts, county governments, and city departments are the primary issuing bodies, with school systems showing particular activity volume due to the scale of their vehicle fleets. The scope spans both bulk delivery (tanker truck shipments of 200 to 2,000 gallons) and packaged products (quarts and drums), with vendors responsible for logistics, hazardous waste handling, and in some cases installation of dispensing infrastructure such as DEF tanks with electric pumps. Suppliers must meet American Petroleum Institute licensing and equipment-manufacturer specification requirements (Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Mack, Navistar) and carry workers' compensation and commercial liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence minimums. Contracts typically run six months to one year with optional renewal periods.
