NC-pocosin lakes NWR BPA bulk fuel

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for bulk fuel delivery services to support the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in Columbia, North Carolina. The procurement covers the supply and delivery of highway diesel fuel (ultra-low sulfur, 15 ppm maximum) and unleaded gasoline (87 octane, no ethanol/methanol) with specific delivery requirements including minimum loads of 300 gallons and maximum loads of 2,000 gallons per delivery. Offerors must demonstrate technical experience with bulk fuel delivery services, provide a technical approach and management plan, and submit past performance references for evaluation. The evaluation criteria prioritize technical capabilities and past performance significantly more than price, with awards going to the most advantageous offer that conforms to solicitation requirements. Proposals are due by June 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with an anticipated award date of July 1, 2025.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with no current incumbent contractors identified in the solicitation materials. The BPA carries a total limit of $250,000 with individual call limits of $10,000, and the contract performance period spans five years from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030. The estimated annual fuel consumption includes 7,500 gallons of diesel and 5,000 gallons of gasoline, with deliveries scheduled during core working hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) directly into the facility's above-ground storage tanks. Pricing will be based on Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) Rack Price with a +/- 5% variance on delivery day plus a fixed markup, and payments will be processed via Fleet Miscellaneous Card. The place of performance is the Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge facility in Pantego, North Carolina, serving counties including Dare, Hyde, Martin, Tyrrell, and Washington.
