The contract covers the purchase and delivery of up to 315,000 gallons of DEF over a two-year period. The DEF will be supplied in bulk to five METRO bus operating facilities located in Houston: Kashmere BOF (5700 Eastex Freeway), West BOF (11555 Westpark Drive), Polk BOF (5700 Polk), Fallbrook BOF (111 Fallbrook Drive), and Hiram Clarke BOF (4175 Uptown Drive).

The DEF product must meet or exceed CUMMINS, ISO 22241-1, and AUS32 specifications, with specific requirements for urea content (31.8-33.2% by weight), density (9.07-9.12 lbs/gal at 68°F), and maximum allowable levels for various contaminants including alkalinity, biuret, insoluble matter, aldehydes, and trace metals. The contractor is responsible for cleanup of spills and damages caused by its employees, and must provide detailed invoices for each delivery identifying the ordering and receiving METRO staff members. METRO's Project Manager must review and approve all deliveries. The document does not specify pricing terms, set-aside provisions, or funding sources, which would typically be found in accompanying bid instructions or contract terms documents.
