UNSPSC 40141736: Grease fitting

UNSPSC 40141736 Grease fitting is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure bulk and packaged engine oil, motor oil, synthetic lubricants, greases, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, diesel exhaust fluid, and related automotive maintenance fluids for fleet and facilities operations. The code captures lubrication and fluid-management services including delivery, installation of bulk-storage infrastructure, and used-fluid collection and recycling. Issuing bodies span school districts (Parkway School District, Marion County School Board, Gwinnett County Public Schools), cities (City of Orlando, City of Tampa), and county departments (Atlanta Department of Watershed Management). Most opportunities are structured as term contracts or blanket purchase orders with as-needed ordering rather than fixed-volume commitments, and many include firm pricing for six to twelve months with optional renewals. Vendors typically must demonstrate compliance with API or manufacturer specifications, maintain appropriate insurance (Commercial General Liability and Product Liability coverage of $1,000,000 or more), and furnish delivery logistics, hazardous-waste handling capability, and sometimes installation and maintenance of fluid-storage equipment.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with solicitations posted from Georgia, Florida, and Florida counties in the past two months. The School Board of Marion County, Florida issued ITB 4188MF (bids due August 12, 2026) for a six-month term contract spanning diesel engine oil, synthetic motor oils in multiple grades, greases, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, diesel exhaust fluid, and brake cleaner, with award anticipated September 22, 2026 and delivery to seven locations across the county. Gwinnett County Public Schools (Georgia's largest school system) solicited B-2704BM (bids due September 30, 2026) for 18,750 gallons of bulk motor oil annually, 19,000 quarts of bottled motor oil, and 3,000 gallons of synthetic transmission fluid under a December 2, 2026–December 1, 2027 contract with four optional one-year renewals. The City of Orlando issued IFB 260538 (bids due September 25, 2026) for new vehicle fluid delivery and used-fluid recycling as an integrated service.
