About this file
This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for establishing a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for fuel supply at the Kulm Wetland Management District in North Dakota. The solicitation seeks to establish a single or multi-vendor BPA with a not-to-exceed amount of $250,000 for the purchase and delivery of three fuel types: Unleaded Gas, Clear Diesel (highway-on road), and Dyed Diesel (off-road). The fuel will be delivered to bulk storage tanks located at 6887 77th Street SE, Kulm, North Dakota 58456, with deliveries to be made upon request by the contracting officer.
The RFQ specifies that vendors must provide current price per gallon for each fuel type, list all delivery fees, and provide estimated delivery times. Minimum call amount is $50.00, and individual field station personnel are limited to $10,000 per call. Authorized callers include maintenance mechanics, station managers, administrative officers, and biotechs. The government will evaluate offers based on best value, considering current price per gallon delivered for each fuel type and estimated delivery time. The performance period is from 04/01/2025 through 03/31/2030, with offers due by 03/28/2025 at 1700 ED, and all fuel must be delivered using the Government Purchase Card as the payment method.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers. (1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.
(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-
(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or
(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day
RFQ 140FS225Q0062 KULM WMD Page 19 of 20 specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.
(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.
(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.
