9140--Diesel Fuel Delivery - #2 Dyed

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 is procuring diesel fuel delivery services for the Richmond VA Medical Center through solicitation number 36C24625Q1093. The contract requires a vendor to provide monthly deliveries of #2 dyed diesel fuel for emergency backup generator top-offs, with an estimated 3,250 gallons per month totaling approximately 39,000 gallons annually. Contractors must coordinate with the Contracting Officer's Representative, maintain detailed delivery records, and provide 24/7 emergency delivery services. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 13 procedures and evaluated based on technical/management approach and pricing criteria. The solicitation was issued on August 27, 2025, with quotes due by September 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM EDT.

This procurement is designated for small business contractors only, requiring vendors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) as verified small businesses. The contract involves servicing 18 tanks that support 22 generators with a combined fuel storage capacity of 100,000 gallons, with individual tank sizes ranging from 500 to 15,000 gallons. Performance will occur at the Richmond VA Medical Center, specifically at the Warehouse Loading Dock, where delivery trucks must navigate within 50 feet of most tanks, though at least one tank requires a 100+ foot hose for access. The tanks include both above-ground and underground installations, and monthly performance will be monitored by the Contracting Officer's Representative or Electrical Supervisor. While the documents do not specify the total contract value, the annual fuel requirement of 39,000 gallons provides the primary scope metric for potential bidders.
