UNSPSC 78181503: Oil or transmission fluid change service

UNSPSC 78181503 Oil or transmission fluid change service (Commodity) encompasses vehicle fleet maintenance work that state and local governments buy on an as-needed basis, ranging from single oil-change services to comprehensive preventive maintenance contracts for multi-vehicle fleets. Recent solicitations show school districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipal transportation authorities procuring lubrication products, engine fluids, transmission servicing, and integrated fleet maintenance that includes oil changes as one line item within broader repair scopes. The issuing bodies span school districts (Parkway School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Marion County Public Schools), county departments (Hillsborough County, Marion County, Waukesha County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), city governments (St. Cloud, Detroit, Newark, Albuquerque, Santa Monica), and transit authorities (Austin Community College, Texas A&M University). Work is performed both at contractor facilities and at government fleet maintenance yards, with service-delivery models ranging from blanket purchase orders for bulk lubrication supply to full-service vehicle repair contracts where oil changes are embedded within hourly labor rates and OEM parts discounts.

Recent opportunities show geographically dispersed activity across Texas, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, California, Colorado, Arizona, Georgia, and the District of Columbia. Representative current solicitations include Parkway School District (Solicitation 2751, due October 27, 2026) requesting bids for lubrication products under a blanket purchase order, Marion County Public Schools (ITB 4188MF, due August 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.) soliciting engine oil, lubricants, and automotive fluids including diesel heavy-duty oil, synthetic blends, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, and diesel exhaust fluid across a six-month term, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB-26-00420, due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time) procuring comprehensive Ford vehicle maintenance and repair services covering approximately 1,400+ vehicles with an estimated three-year contract value of $4.3 million. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (Solicitation HHS0018022, due October 19, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.) is requesting vehicle repair services at Austin State Supported Living Center including oil changes, brake repair, alignments, and air conditioning, with historical spend of $24,999 annually. The code sees sustained volume from school boards and county fleets purchasing routine consumables and from state agencies and municipalities establishing on-call repair pools where oil service is a standard line item within broader maintenance contracts.
