Blanket Purchase Agreement 140F0418A0014

The Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Barr Distributing Company Inc., a for-profit, woman-owned small business, to provide bulk fuel delivery services to the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge in Alabama. The BPA, valued at up to $150,000, covers the delivery of diesel and unleaded gasoline to the Refuge from 2018 through 2023 on an as-needed basis, with orders typically ranging from a few hundred gallons up to an estimated 5,000 gallons annually. The contracted services include delivering the fuel within 48 hours and meeting all applicable fuel quality standards to support the ongoing operations of the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge. Many of the individual BPA call orders were set aside for small businesses, though some were unrestricted. The Fish and Wildlife Service has issued multiple task orders to Barr Distributing Company Inc. under this BPA, with firm fixed price values ranging from several hundred dollars up to over $6,000 per delivery order.

The Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, managed by the Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service, relies on the consistent and timely delivery of bulk diesel and gasoline fuel to power its operations and maintain its fleet of vehicles and equipment. By awarding this BPA to Barr Distributing Company Inc., a woman-owned small business, the agency has been able to fulfill the Refuge's fuel requirements through a streamlined procurement process while supporting small business participation in its contracting activities.
