Recent activity shows solicitation across Georgia, with the Dougherty County School System (DCSS) in Albany posting RFQ 019-PUR-2026 on April 23, 2026, for 555 five-gallon containers of MPC Classic 250 Floor Wax or approved equivalent (response due May 14, 2026), and the Columbus Consolidated Government issuing RFB 26-0030 on February 16, 2026, for bulk oils and lubricants to support the METRA Transit System (response due March 11, 2026). The Columbus procurement specifies eight petroleum products in annual quantities ranging from 1,000 pounds of chassis grease to 4,000 gallons each of motor oil and transmission fluid. Both solicitations allow FOB delivery to designated facilities and require Material Safety Data Sheets and standard compliance documentation; the METRA contract includes Federal Transit Administration and Georgia Department of Transportation funding with associated DBE participation and federal work-authorization requirements. Award authority to single or multiple vendors varies by issuing body discretion.
