UNSPSC 40161513: Fuel filters

UNSPSC 40161513 Fuel filters is a Commodity code covering discrete filtration products for vehicle maintenance that state and local governments procure for fleet operations and facilities management. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring motor vehicle filters—oil, air, fuel, transmission, coolant, and hydraulic variants—for school bus fleets, municipal vehicle maintenance, water treatment plant operations, and general automotive shop inventory. The Pinellas County School District, Colquitt County (Georgia), Rockwood School District, and South Dakota Department of Transportation have each posted bids for automotive and motor vehicle filters within the past four months. Issuing bodies span school districts, county purchasing departments, city governments, and state transportation agencies; school districts and county fleet operations represent the most active recent buyers. Work includes supply of new filters on a firm fixed-price or catalog-discount basis, with delivery timelines typically requiring fulfillment within five to seven business days of order and quantities ranging from dozens to hundreds of units annually depending on fleet size.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pinellas County Schools, City of Tampa, Rockwood School District), Georgia (Colquitt County), South Dakota, and Texas, with additional activity in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Pinellas County School District's sealed IFB 26AM010 for motor vehicle filters with bids due July 27, 2026, covering 26 line items across oil, air, fuel, transmission, coolant, and hydraulic filters with an estimated annual contract value of $55,000; Colquitt County's sealed bid PE77891NONST2027000000100 for 53 distinct vehicle filter line items, bids due October 14, 2026, for a one-year term beginning January 1, 2027; and South Dakota Department of Transportation's IFB 26IFB19776 for automotive filters across four regional shop locations, with cross-referencing to WIX numbers as a delivery requirement. Contracts are awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a firm fixed-price basis, typically for one-year terms with optional renewal periods. Many jurisdictions impose geographic or residency preferences (Pinellas County requires business location within 40 miles of the service center) and compliance with state-specific vendor registration, debarment certification, and procurement portal requirements.
