UNSPSC 83101602: Supply of fuel oil

UNSPSC 83101602 Supply of fuel oil, a Commodity code, covers recurring supply and delivery of diesel fuel and heating fuel to state and local facilities. The code sees procurement activity from county and municipal utilities, public works departments, and state agencies operating landfills, fire stations, and water treatment infrastructure. Recent opportunities reflect two primary use cases: weekly or as-needed bulk fuel delivery to operational sites (such as landfill central facilities and fire stations) indexed to commodity pricing or fixed markup, and routine maintenance services for above-ground fuel vault fill stations that serve emergency response operations. Citrus County, Florida is procuring approximately 1,600 gallons per week of Ultra Low Sulfur #2 red-dyed diesel for the Central Landfill under ITB 26-104, with pricing tied to Oil Price Information Service Port of Tampa rates plus a fixed markup and a three-year initial contract term beginning September 8, 2026. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is soliciting bids under IFB 4CA08086 for recurring maintenance of twelve above-ground fuel vault fill stations across Mariposa, Madera, and Merced counties, with contract term November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2029, requiring STI/SPFA aboveground tank system inspection certification and prevailing wage compliance. The City of Stamford, Connecticut is requesting bids for #2 Heating Fuel Dyed and #2 ULS Diesel Dyed under ITB 2027.0074, with responses due September 14, 2026.

Recent procurement spans county utilities in Florida and Georgia, state forestry agencies in California, municipal public works and water systems across the Southeast, and special-purpose water authorities in Mississippi. Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Citrus County landfill fuel, Collier County water treatment), Georgia (Jones County water systems, Glynn County sewer infrastructure), California (CAL FIRE fuel vaults), and Connecticut (Stamford municipal fuel), with secondary activity in Mississippi (utility water extensions) and South Carolina (fire department infrastructure). The code shows steady but moderate activity concentrated among utilities managing rotating asset maintenance contracts and municipal governments operating central service facilities; no dominant repeat buyer pattern emerges. Fuel supply contracts typically run three years with renewal options and are awarded to the lowest responsive bidder using index-based or fixed-price structures. Bidders should expect prevailing wage requirements in some jurisdictions, insurance and bonding standards around $1 million general liability, and compliance with state fuel specifications (ultra-low sulfur content, dye requirements, cetane ratings for specific engine types).
