Maintenance and inspection of on-site fuel storage and dispensing systems

The Department of Energy, through Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), seeks maintenance and inspection services for on-site fuel storage and dispensing systems, with proposals due July 2, 2026 and a mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled for June 11, 2026 at 1:30 PM.

Place of performance is PPPL's Forrestal Campus in Princeton, New Jersey. The scope covers semi-annual formal inspections and manufacturer-required maintenance for six fuel system assets: two diesel generators (900 kW and 2,600 kW), two diesel tanker trucks (5,000 and 7,500 gallons), one No. 2 fuel oil boiler system (25,000 gallons), and one multi-compartment fuel dispensing system (3,000 gallons) serving gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel. All systems include storage tanks, level indication/alarm systems, and Diesel-Pure filtering systems requiring regular filter changes. The contractor must also provide on-call emergency repair services and routine preventive maintenance on a time-and-material basis with hourly rates.

The contractor must be STI-certified for aboveground tank system inspections, licensed and insured, and an approved distributor/installer of all system components. Work must comply with American Petroleum Institute (API), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), STI SP001 standards, OSHA 29 CFR 1910, and DOE 10 CFR 851. All work shall be performed during normal business hours (7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday–Friday), with emergency services allowed outside these hours when directly authorized.

The contract is a firm fixed-price term agreement with a two-year base period (August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2028) and three one-year option periods extending through July 31, 2031. The current wage determination (2015-4193, Rev. 12) for Fuel Distribution Mechanic applies. Award will be made to the responsive, responsible offeror whose quotation is most advantageous considering price, schedule, and other factors.
