UNSPSC 27131610: Lubricator or regulator repair kits

UNSPSC 27131610 Lubricator or regulator repair kits is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader range of fleet maintenance and repair services than the nominal code name suggests. Recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code actually seek school bus air-conditioning maintenance and repair, motor oil and transmission fluid supply, and OEM parts and service for bus fleets. The issuing bodies are school districts—Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia, and Parkway School District in Missouri—reflecting a pattern of district-level fleet maintenance procurement. The work spans diagnostic and repair labor (refrigerant system service, EPA and MACS compliance), consumable supply (bulk motor oil meeting API CK-4 or higher standards, synthetic transmission fluid), and parts distribution agreements with OEM coverage and warranty provisions.

Recent opportunities posted in Florida, Georgia, and Missouri show geographic spread across the South and Midwest. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 26286RFQDST for school bus A/C maintenance and repair with responses due August 7, 2026, requiring technician certification in both R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerants and including a 20 percent subcontractor participation goal for Small Business Encouragement Program vendors in the Tampa Bay area. Gwinnett County Public Schools (serving over 182,000 students) issued IFB PE77021NONST2027000000210 for 18,750 gallons of annual bulk motor oil for low-emission diesel engines, 19,000 quarts of bottled motor oil, and 3,000 gallons of synthetic transmission fluid, with digital bids due September 30, 2026 through Euna Procurement; the initial contract term runs December 2, 2026 through December 1, 2027 with up to four one-year renewal options. Parkway School District in Missouri posted RFB 26120 for bus and vehicle OEM parts and service on a blanket purchase order basis with responses due May 19, 2026, requiring qualified vendors to maintain adequate inventory, obtain unavailable parts within three days, and carry comprehensive insurance at $1,000,000 combined single limits.
