The Award Posting Notice #2 is issued by the State of South Carolina, specifically involving the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission and the State Fiscal Accountability Authority's Division of Procurement Services. The solicitation (Number 5400027733) seeks to procure a single 3,000-gallon aircraft fuel truck, with an online bid submission deadline of February 28, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET through the SCEIS system. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams on January 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET, with questions due by 5:00 PM ET that same day. The anticipated award date is March 11, 2025, with delivery required within 12 months after purchase order receipt, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The procurement requires a self-propelled refueling truck with specific technical specifications, including a diesel-powered engine with at least 250 horsepower, automatic transmission, air brakes with ABS, and an aluminum or stainless-steel tank. Critical compliance requirements include adherence to FAA, NFPA, and DOT regulations, with mandatory features such as a Scully overfill prevention system, digital metering system, and aviation-grade fuel delivery hoses. The solicitation mandates a minimum 5-year warranty on the tank and a 3-year warranty on the chassis. No specific budget range is stated, and state preferences do not apply to vehicle procurements, suggesting broad vendor eligibility. The truck will be delivered to 2553 Airport Boulevard, West Columbia, SC 29170, with vendors required to submit comprehensive technical documentation alongside their electronic bids.
