UNSPSC 27131604: Pneumatic lubricators

UNSPSC 27131604 Pneumatic lubricators is a Commodity code that captures specialized industrial maintenance products and components purchased by state and local governments to support fleet operations, water and wastewater infrastructure, and facility systems. Recent solicitations show the code being applied broadly to fluid-service equipment and actuator parts rather than pneumatic lubricators in the strict sense. Collier County, Florida and Seminole County, Florida are the primary recent buyers; both are pursuing single-source procurements for incumbent vendors supplying maintenance consumables and replacement components that support specialized installed equipment. The kinds of work being solicited include fleet lubricants and transmission fluids (Collier County's five-year single-source with Schaeffer Manufacturing), valve operators and power equipment parts for water and wastewater systems (Collier County's three-year single-source with Illinois Tool Works dba E.H. Wachs), and proprietary actuator replacement parts for wastewater treatment plants (Seminole County's sole-source procurement of REXA actuator components through PRO-CO, Inc.).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, specifically among county-level water, wastewater, and fleet management departments pursuing single-source and sole-source notices rather than competitive bidding. Collier County Procurement Services Division posted a Notice of Intent to Single Source Schaeffer Manufacturing Company (PUR17431) on June 29, 2026 for engine oils, transmission fluids, and grease products with a proposed five-year term starting October 1, 2026; the response deadline to contest the designation was May 12, 2026. Collier County also posted a Notice of Intent to Single Source Illinois Tool Works dba E.H. Wachs (PUR16720) on June 29, 2026 for power valve operators and valve equipment for potable, wastewater, and irrigation systems with a three-year term, with objection deadline July 20, 2026. Seminole County issued a sole-source procurement (SS5253) on June 2, 2026 for REXA actuator replacement and repair parts distributed by PRO-CO, Inc., with a vendor response deadline of June 1, 2026. Geographic activity outside Florida is not evident in the recent opportunity set.
