The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service is soliciting quotations for fuel supply under Solicitation Number 1232SA26Q0240. The procurement includes three fuel line items: 20,000 gallons of premium off-road summer-blend diesel, 10,000 gallons of premium off-road winter-blend diesel (50% number 1 and 50% number 2), and 3,000 gallons of regular unleaded fuel. Contractors must be located within 100 miles of the delivery location and capable of completing each delivery within three business days of request. The Government will evaluate quotations based on lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with awards determined by price, technical acceptability including meeting all specifications and availability for timely delivery, and past performance. Quotations must be submitted via email to amber.sampson@usda.gov with the subject line "Quote for 1232SA26Q0240" no later than March 5, 2026, and offerors must hold their prices firm for 365 calendar days from the receipt date.

This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside with a small business size standard of 950 employees, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to compete for the award. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement for one year of performance, with the first delivery required by approximately April 1, 2026. Deliveries are planned on an as-needed basis occurring approximately every 25 to 35 days throughout the year, with summer-blend diesel required May through October, winter-blend diesel required January through March and December, and unleaded fuel required year-round. All fuel must be delivered to an underground tank located at S8822 Sunset Drive, Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin 53578 on an F.O.B. Destination basis. Contractors must include all delivery charges in their quotations, and the Government will make one award based on the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer that represents best value.
