650-560006 /central alabama farme propane for portable tanks

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the provision of propane for portable tanks to be used by the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) in the Selma District Five region. ALDOT is seeking vendors to supply propane to refill their portable propane tanks, which are used to heat tack material for filling potholes and crack sealing on state and national highway system roads. The agency estimates needing approximately 50 gallons of propane per month for this purpose, and they have several different sized tanks (100 pounds, 30 pounds, and 20 pounds) that will need to be refilled on an as-needed basis. The contract period is for fiscal year 2025, from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. Vendors must be able to deliver the propane to the ALDOT facility located in Marion Junction, Alabama.

This opportunity is open to any qualified vendors, and the State of Alabama has provided a standard set of terms and conditions that will apply to the resulting contract. The state is tax-exempt, and vendors must be registered in the Alabama Buys procurement system to participate. The state reserves the right to conduct cost analysis and price reasonableness assessments during the procurement process. While no specific budget amount is disclosed, this appears to be a relatively small-scale, routine procurement for ongoing maintenance operations in the Selma ALDOT district.
