UNSPSC 73152005: Lubrication oil service

A lubrication services include replacing the oils and fluids within the lubrication system. Inspections and tests are also made to ensure that the automatic lubrication system is functioning correctly.

UNSPSC 73152005 Lubrication oil service is a Commodity code capturing the supply of engine oils, lubricants, and related automotive fluids for fleet operations across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments procure lubrication products under this code primarily through blanket purchase orders and term contracts for as-needed delivery to support their vehicle fleets—school districts, county boards, transit agencies, and municipalities ordering oils, greases, transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids, diesel exhaust fluid, and specialty products on fixed-price or discount schedules. The issuing-body mix is broad and typical: school districts (Parkway School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Marion County Public Schools), county governments (Marion County, Hillsborough County, Waukesha County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipalities (City of Detroit, City of Newark) all solicit under this code. A representative recent opportunity is the School Board of Marion County, Florida's ITB 4188MF, posted September 21, 2026, due August 12, 2026, requesting bids on a six-month term contract (October 1, 2026–March 30, 2027) for diesel heavy-duty engine oil (bulk and quarts), synthetic blend motor oils, greases, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, diesel exhaust fluid (45,000 gallons bulk with tank installation and automatic delivery service), and brake cleaner, with all products to meet equipment-manufacturer specifications and API licensing requirements and delivery to multiple school locations across Marion County.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and New Jersey. The Florida venues (Marion County schools, Hillsborough County schools, Hillsborough County commissioners) account for three recent solicitations; Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears twice, supporting ongoing fleet-maintenance contracts at state-supported living centers. Parkway School District (Missouri) and the School Board of Marion County (Florida) illustrate the typical buyer—a public-entity fleet operator with seasonal or as-needed purchasing patterns and preference for consolidated delivery and firm pricing over the contract term. The code sees steady baseline activity driven by mandatory maintenance cycles and regulatory compliance (EPA emissions fluids, refrigerant handling); award values are generally modest (Marion County's ITB estimated annual spend is implicit in six-month quantities, and historical Texas HHSC vehicle-repair contracts reference $24,000–$35,000 annual spend for associated services). Responsiveness windows are typically six to eight weeks, and most solicitations require electronic submission through state procurement portals, API or manufacturer certifications for fluids, and delivery to multiple locations.
