San Luis NWR Complex 10-year Fuel BPA

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting quotations for a 10-year Blanket Purchase Agreement to supply bulk fuel to the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge Complex in California. The procurement requires the delivery of clear ultra-low sulfur #2 diesel and unleaded regular gasoline (87 Octane with 10% ethanol) on an on-call basis, with delivery mandated within one day of notification. Vendors must be located within 60 miles of the four delivery sites: San Luis NWR (Los Banos), Blue Goose Fire Cache (Los Banos), Merced NWR (Merced), and San Joaquin River NWR (Vernalis). Evaluation will be conducted on a weighted basis, with technical acceptability (including past performance and ability to meet one-day delivery requirements) and fair and reasonable pricing rated equally. The deadline for quotation submission is March 23, 2026, at 8:00 AM EST, with offers to be submitted via email to Contracting Officer Joni Dutcher. Amendment 1 to Section L was issued on February 23, 2026, addressing submission procedures and clarifying that under uncontrollable circumstances such as pandemics or natural disasters, contractors may bill only for goods received and must allow remaining BPA funds to be de-obligated.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with the Government anticipating the award of approximately three BPAs to responsible offerors meeting technical and pricing requirements. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The total authorized spending ceiling across all awarded BPAs is $950,000 over the 10-year contract period (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2036), with individual call orders capped at $60,000. Estimated annual fuel consumption across all four locations totals approximately 21,150 gallons, comprising 9,874 gallons of diesel and 3,200 gallons of unleaded gasoline at San Luis NWR, 3,640 gallons of diesel at Blue Goose Fire Cache, and 2,808 gallons of diesel plus 1,628 gallons of unleaded at Merced NWR. Pricing will be calculated based on the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) rack price adjusted daily plus the contractor's fixed mark-up per gallon, with all applicable taxes and delivery fees included in the quoted price. Performance will take place across four wildlife refuge locations in California's San Joaquin Valley region.
