East Glacier National Park Propane Delivery

The National Park Service, specifically the Intermountain Region, is seeking a contractor to supply and deliver bulk propane to ten tanks located on the eastern side of Glacier National Park. The solicitation (140P1425R0033) requires approximately 11,500 gallons of propane to be delivered annually to locations including Saint Mary, Rising Sun, Logan Pass, Cutbank Creek, Many Glacier, and Goat Haunt. This is a firm fixed-price, multi-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a base year and four option years, running from 06/30/2025 to 06/29/2030. Pricing will be determined using the Butane-Propane News (BPN) newsletter, with contractors required to provide a fixed markup. The evaluation will be based on the lowest-price technically acceptable offeror, with proposals due by 06/23/2025 at 1:00 PM Mountain Time.

The contract is a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 325120 and a small business size standard of 1,200 employees. Unique delivery requirements include specialized coordination for the Goat Haunt location, which involves crossing the international border into Canada and using park-owned transfer equipment. The contract encompasses complex logistical challenges, such as potential waiting times during barge transfers and the need for drivers to have passports and Canadian truck insurance. Delivery locations span the eastern region of Glacier National Park, from near the Canadian border at Waterton to the southern park areas, covering seven distinct sites. The contract will require precise scheduling of propane fills, including coordinating first fills for locations like the Logan Pass Visitor Center after road opening and planning an end-of-season delivery in October.
