Disaster proof above ground storage tank (AST) for diesel fuel

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), specifically the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Cumberland, is seeking a contractor to provide and install a 12,000-gallon disaster proof Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) for diesel fuel. The procurement will involve a comprehensive installation process, including site preparation, concrete pad construction, tank mounting, fuel system connections, and system testing. Potential vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), have appropriate insurance, and demonstrate capabilities within NAICS Code 332420 for Metal Tank Manufacturing. The market research questionnaire requires vendors to provide detailed information about their business size, small business program eligibility, quote preparation timelines, and design submission capabilities. Responses to the market research questionnaire are due by June 12, 2025, at 10:00 am EST, and all future solicitation information will be distributed exclusively through SAM.gov.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract, meaning it is open to all qualified businesses. The project involves installing the AST at the end of building SB (Powerhouse) and includes additional requirements such as connecting to existing backup generators, transferring existing fuel, implementing spill prevention plans, and conducting system testing. While no specific award value is mentioned, the business size standard for the NAICS category is $23.98 Million. The contract will require strict adherence to federal, state, and local safety standards, with contractors needing to navigate complex security protocols typical of a correctional facility. The project timeline and specific delivery dates are not explicitly stated, but the market research phase suggests the actual solicitation and contract award will occur in the near future following the June 12 response deadline.
