The USDA APHIS PPQ awarded a single-award blanket purchase agreement to Pico Propane Operating, LLC with a potential value of $500,000 to supply aviation fuel over three years. The BPA enables the agency to place fixed-price calls for delivery of 3,200 gallons of 100 low lead blue dyed aviation fuel to locations in San Antonio, TX in support of APHIS PPQ operations. Four sample calls valued at $21K each were provided for fuel deliveries between November 2023 to February 2026. The originating special notice indicated APHIS PPQ's intent to enter a basic ordering agreement with Pico Propane for eighty thousand gallons of the specified aviation fuel annually over three years to support aircraft operations at its Edinburg, TX facility. As the fuel type is not available through DLA Energy and no cost savings were identified, the notice deemed only the local vendor as reasonably able to meet the agency's needs in compliance with statutory guidelines. The purpose of both the BPA and intended ordering agreement is to provide consistent, timely fuel supplies for APHIS PPQ programs that monitor and detect invasive agricultural threats.
