GLAC - Purchase and Delivery of Propane

The National Park Service Intermountain Region is soliciting quotes for the purchase and delivery of 15,000 gallons of propane to Glacier National Park's West Side facilities. The procurement requires delivery to 13 underground and above-ground tanks across eight locations, including Lake McDonald Valley, Apgar Visitor Center, and Polebridge Ranger Station, where the propane will heat park maintenance buildings and power emergency generation equipment. Vendors must demonstrate technical capability to meet Statement of Work requirements, maintain equipment in good condition, provide a local point of contact within 45 minutes of delivery locations, and adhere to park road regulations and safety protocols. The evaluation will focus on two primary factors: price, determined using Butane-Propane News newsletter pricing with a fixed contractor markup, and technical capability, including quality standards, delivery timelines, and proximity requirements. Quotes are due by July 28, 2025, with deliveries requested between July 23, 2025, and July 23, 2026, during normal business hours Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, excluding federal holidays.

This solicitation operates under NAICS code 325120 for Industrial Gas Manufacturing and is not set aside for small businesses, making it an unrestricted competition open to all qualified vendors. The contract period spans one year from July 31, 2025, to July 31, 2026, with the 15,000-gallon requirement distributed across tank capacities ranging from 500 to 4,000 gallons at various park facilities. Performance will occur at Glacier National Park, located at 61 Scoyen Circle, West Glacier, Montana 59936, with specific coordinates provided for each of the nine delivery locations including lift stations, visitor centers, entrance stations, and ranger stations. The solicitation includes detailed tank location maps and coordinates, Department of Labor wage determinations for Montana service contract workers, and comprehensive delivery and safety requirements. No incumbent contractor or budget range information is specified in the available documentation, and an amendment dated July 23, 2025, has been issued but its contents are not detailed in the summary materials.
