UNSPSC 78181701: Vehicle fueling service

UNSPSC 78181701 Vehicle fueling service is a Commodity code covering the delivery, supply, and operational management of fuel to state and local government fleet operations, including diesel, gasoline, compressed natural gas, and renewable fuels delivered to storage tanks, dispensing stations, and fueling facilities. State and local governments procure this service across departments managing municipal fleets, transit agencies, fire and forestry services, schools, utilities, counties, and specialized facilities such as airport fueling operations and rental car centers. Issuing bodies span state departments (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, California Department of General Services, State of Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County, Escambia County, Solano County, Broward County), municipalities (City of Pittsburgh, City of Detroit, City of St. Cloud, City of Kissimmee Utility Authority), and transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority). The scope of work includes bulk fuel supply and delivery with NYMEX or OPIS rack-based pricing; fuel tank inspection, maintenance, and repair at above-ground and underground storage facilities; compressed natural gas fueling station operation and maintenance; mobile CNG fueling equipment leasing and operation; fuel management software and dispensing pump replacement; and airport or rental car facility fueling operations. Contracts commonly require compliance with prevailing wage, environmental and safety regulations (EPA, air quality management, aboveground petroleum storage acts), insurance with general liability minimums of $1 million to $5 million depending on scope, and performance guarantees with liquidated damages for service interruption.
