NIGP 12040: Fuel Tanks, Boat

NIGP 12040 Fuel Tanks, Boat is an Item code that encompasses marine fuel supply services to state and local governments, based on recent solicitation activity. State and local governments procure ethanol-free marine gasoline through waterfront dispensing facilities — boat docks or marinas — operating on an as-needed basis to support Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources, Emergency Services, and Stormwater operations. Suppliers are typically required to maintain inventory at County-approved facilities within specified geographic radii, operate extended hours year-round (including weekends and holidays), and accommodate government vessel fueling. Pricing models generally call for a percentage markup applied to the contractor's supplier cost per gallon, with invoices itemized by department, vessel, and gallons purchased. Sarasota County has been the repeat issuer in recent opportunities, indicating activity in the municipal and county purchasing base. Suppliers must demonstrate prior waterfront marine fuel experience through governmental, industrial, or commercial references and carry comprehensive insurance including pollution liability coverage.

Sarasota County, Florida dominates recent solicitation activity under this code. Sarasota County issued two successive Invitations for Quotes for marine fuel supply — solicitation 262897MF (due September 7, 2026) and rebid 262916KR (due October 9, 2026) — both seeking suppliers for a three-year initial term to deliver approximately 8,000 gallons annually from a waterfront facility within two miles of 1059 North Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. The rebid round imposed a $150,000 per-contract-year threshold and required the markup pricing model with cost verification and audit rights. No recent opportunities under this specific code appear in other states or jurisdictions in the source material.
