Supply and Deliver Propane

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Pacific West Region is seeking a small business contractor to supply and deliver propane to the Stehekin district of North Cascades National Park through a five-year indefinite delivery requirements contract. The solicitation (RFQ 140P8325Q0008) requires delivery of between 8,000 and 13,000 gallons of liquid propane gas annually to multiple facilities and approximately 16 individual houses, with deliveries coordinated during business hours. Interested offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit a comprehensive quote package that includes pricing, technical capability, three customer references, and contractor details. The government will evaluate offers based on a combined assessment of price, technical merits, and past performance, with technical and past performance factors being approximately equal to price. Quotation submissions are due by Friday, April 18, 2025, at 1:00 pm PDT, with quotes to be submitted electronically to John Flatt, the Contracting Officer at North Cascades National Park.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a total estimated contract value under $150,000, covering a base year from April 25, 2025, to November 30, 2025, with four potential option years extending through November 30, 2029. The unique delivery logistics require contractors to access Stehekin only by public ferry, barge, or private vessel, with propane tanks located within 12 miles of the boat/barge landing. Contractors must comply with Washington State and federal transportation regulations, obtain necessary licenses and certifications, and fill tanks when propane levels fall below 30%. The solicitation allows for pricing flexibility, permitting price fluctuations within 10% of the established annual price without formal modification and allowing a nominal administrative/delivery fee above the bulk propane price. Delivery locations include the Maintenance Yard, Golden West Visitor Center, Wastewater Treatment Plant, and residential properties with tank sizes ranging from 125 to 1,000 gallons.
