AL wheeler NWR bulk fuel BPA

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for bulk fuel delivery services to the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge in Decatur, Alabama. The procurement involves the delivery of two types of fuel: 6,000 gallons of non-ethanol gasoline and 9,000 gallons of dyed diesel (off-road ultra-low sulfur) annually, with minimum delivery orders of 500 gallons and delivery required within 48 hours of order placement. Offerors must provide comprehensive proposals including technical capabilities, past performance references, and management plans, with deliveries scheduled Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM to the refuge's bulk fuel storage tanks. The evaluation will prioritize technical capabilities and past performance significantly more than price, with additional factors including technical experience, capacity, and technical approach. Proposals are due June 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with an anticipated award date of July 1, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The BPA carries an authorized limit of $250,000 with individual call orders not to exceed $10,000, and the period of performance extends from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030, structured as a base year with four optional years. Pricing will be calculated using the OPIS Rack Wholesale Contract Average Price as a "loaded price" that includes rack price, delivery costs, taxes, and fees. All work will be performed at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge in Decatur, Alabama, specifically Lawrence and Morgan counties, where Service Contract Act wage determinations apply with minimum wages of $17.75 per hour for contracts entered after January 30, 2022. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and comply with national fuel quality standards, including ultra-low sulfur diesel specifications of 15ppm maximum.
