UNSPSC 71171702: Lube oil monitoring service

Service to monitor lube oil condition in machines, engines and other components.

UNSPSC 71171702 Lube oil monitoring service is a Commodity code that in state and local practice encompasses water quality, environmental contamination, and facility-condition monitoring services—not automotive or industrial lubricant testing. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code to classify diverse monitoring, sampling, analysis, and laboratory testing work, including sewer spill response, waterborne pathogen detection, environmental assessment, and Legionella water management across multiple facility types and operational contexts.

State and local issuing bodies using the code span water and sewer departments (Forsyth County Georgia, Santa Clara County California, Hillsborough County Florida, City of Orlando), healthcare facilities, state environmental agencies (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection), county developmental centers, regional transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and housing authorities. Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with particular density in Georgia, Florida, California, Texas, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include Forsyth County's ITQ for sewer spill monitoring, sampling, analysis, and regulatory reporting (due November 12, 2026); Santa Clara County's solicitation for waterborne pathogen testing and environmental microbiology services supporting healthcare dialysis clinics, requiring ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and CDC ELITE certification for Legionella culture testing (due October 22, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB for comprehensive water and wastewater laboratory services including drinking water compliance, wastewater process control, and groundwater monitoring across 32 line items (due September 24, 2026); and the Orange County Transportation Authority's methane detection system service and maintenance contract under prevailing wage requirements with an estimated value of $260,000 over four years (bids due June 1, 2026). Other recent examples include housing authority Legionella water management program implementation (San Antonio), state air quality monitoring infrastructure (Nevada schools and daycares lead testing, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality PM2.5 monitoring), and municipal backflow prevention assembly testing (Gwinnett County Georgia). The code attracts RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs across single-award and continuing-services structures, with contract terms typically ranging from one to five years and optional renewal periods common.
