Bituminous Coal

The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command issued a Special Notice indicating their intent to award a sole-source contract to Gebhardt Post Plant & Sawmill for the purchase of 1,000 tons of Bituminous Stoker Coal to support the Malmstrom Air Force Base Central Heat Plant. Market research has determined that Gebhardt Post Plant & Sawmill is the only entity capable of meeting the exact specifications required for this coal.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide an opportunity for any responsible sources to submit a quotation that demonstrates how competition would be advantageous to the government. The due date for responses is April 5, 2024, and the award will be made without further notice if no affirmative responses are received. The key requirements include specific coal quality standards, delivery schedule, and testing procedures. This is not a competitive solicitation, but the government will consider any quotation that clearly shows how competition would benefit the government's interests.
