Propane for Ute Mountain Ute Agency

The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office is soliciting proposals for propane delivery services to the Ute Mountain Ute Agency in Towaoc, Colorado. The solicitation (140A0725Q0001) seeks liquid propane delivery for two separate tanks, with a total required volume of 47,500 gallons over a one-year contract period. Quotations must be submitted electronically to adam.lowery@bia.gov, with the most recent amendment extending the submission deadline to January 31, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST. Questions from potential offerors were initially due by January 3, 2025, with agency responses anticipated by January 7, 2025. The procurement will be awarded on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis, with technical acceptability determined by the offeror's ability to provide liquid propane that complies with all local, state, and federal regulations.

The solicitation has undergone multiple set-aside modifications, initially targeting Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs), then transitioning to Indian Economic Enterprises (IEEs), and finally being opened to all small businesses through Amendment 0002. Deliveries will be made to two specific locations: a 1,000-gallon tank at the Bureau of Indian Affairs (102 Chief Green Street) and an 18,000-gallon tank at the Enforcement/Corrections Center. The contract requires propane deliveries within 3 business days of request during normal working hours (8:00 AM - 4:30 PM MST, Monday-Friday), with provisions for emergency weekend and holiday deliveries. The technical point of contact for coordinating deliveries is Keith Yessilth, the Facility Manager, who will manage specific quantity requests via email. Tanks are not to be filled beyond 80% capacity, and the contract will run for one year from the date of award.
