Mandatory Contract for Liquified Petroleum Gas for District 5

The California Statewide Contract 1-22-68-19C is a mandatory Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) procurement vehicle designed to provide propane services for California state agencies, with a specific focus on Caltrans District 5. The contract enables government entities, including state departments, California State Universities, University of California system, K-12 schools, and community colleges, to purchase LPG through a dynamic pricing structure based on Butane Propane Newsletter market prices plus a contractor differential. The contract covers propane deliveries with minimum quantity requirements of 60% tank capacity and includes provisions for emergency deliveries, detention charges, and trip charges.

The master IDV is awarded to AMERIGAS PROPANE LP by the California Department of General Services (DGS) Statewide Procurement division. The contract is effective from September 30, 2022, through September 29, 2026, with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods. It is a statewide contract specifically covering California, with a primary service area in Caltrans District 5. The contract utilizes UNSPSC code 15111501 for Propane and NIGP code 40503 for Butane and Propane products, ensuring precise categorization of the procurement vehicle.

Under this IDV, at least one notable contract award has been made: a $13,000 procurement by the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation for 13,000 gallons of LPG for Correctional Treatment Facilities during fiscal year 2025-2026. The award to AmeriGas Propane LP is structured with a unit price of $1.00 per gallon and aligns with the master contract's performance period. While the contract documentation indicates multiple potential contractors serving different California districts (including Ferrellgas and Suburban Propane), this specific award demonstrates the practical application of the statewide LPG procurement mechanism for meeting state agency fuel requirements.
