UNSPSC 73152006: Toll blending lubricant service

Toll blending lubricant service is also called contract manufacturing or contract blending, is process in which the production of lubricants blending is outsourced. Scientists can take your formula, raw materials, and packaging and turn it into a finished product, ready for shipping.

UNSPSC 73152006 Toll blending lubricant service (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The City of Lubbock, Texas posted an Invitation to Bid in May 2026 for a replacement rate of flow controller and 16-inch butterfly valve assembly for potable water treatment, not lubricant blending or servicing. The equipment being procured—a venturi-type flow controller with 0–144 inches water column range paired with an AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve for the North Water Treatment Plant—falls within water infrastructure and treatment equipment, not lubricant supply or blending services. The code shows little recent relevant activity aligned with its nominal scope of toll blending lubricant service.

The single recent opportunity under this code is the City of Lubbock ITB 26-19653-YB, due May 27, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-bid site visit scheduled for May 20, 2026. The equipment must be factory-assembled and tested to 0.5 percent accuracy, feature a cast iron body constructed to ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 with Type 316 stainless steel components, and fit within 46.5 inches. Sealed bids were submitted through the City's Bonfire portal or by hand delivery. The procurement is open to qualified vendors; the City of Lubbock applies a local vendor preference for contracts under $500,000 when the local bid is within five percent of the lowest non-resident bid. No budget or award value is listed, and no set-aside designations apply. Bidders must provide three project references, a notarized non-collusion affidavit, conflict-of-interest disclosures, and vendor risk assessments addressing cybersecurity and personally identifiable information handling. Firm pricing must hold for a minimum of sixty days on an F.O.B. delivered basis with delivery expected within two weeks.
