2023-04 Fuel Oil Bid

The Bethany-Orange-Woodbridge Regional Purchasing Cooperative has issued Solicitation Number 598 for a fuel supply contract covering heating oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel for multiple participating agencies in New Haven County, Connecticut. The cooperative seeks to select one or more vendors to provide these fuel products to the Towns of Bethany, Orange, and Woodbridge, as well as the Amity Regional School District and Regional School District Number 16. The contract period will run from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, with a bid opening scheduled for December 19, 2022, at 10:00 am in Woodbridge Town Hall. Vendors were permitted to submit questions during a specific Q&A period from December 13, 2022, at 9:00 am EST to December 15, 2022, at 4:00 pm EST. The solicitation specifies delivery terms as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be defined by the responding vendors. No specific line items or estimated quantities were provided in the documentation, indicating that vendors will need to propose comprehensive pricing for the required fuel products.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, suggesting the bid is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information was disclosed in the available documentation, and there were no mentions of specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The solicitation did not provide an estimated contract value or budget range, leaving potential pricing details to be determined through the competitive bidding process. The contract will be administered through the Town of Woodbridge, with Anthony Genovese serving as the primary contact point for vendors. While the lack of specific quantity estimates and total contract value makes it difficult to ascertain the precise scope of the procurement, the multi-jurisdictional nature of the cooperative suggests a potentially significant fuel supply requirement for the participating municipal and school district agencies.
