Aviation Engine Oil (Rebid)

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Capital City Airport Division, issued Request for Bids (RFB 605 1900000126) on August 16, 2018, for the supply of aviation engine oil products. This rebid solicitation seeks five line items of AeroShell aviation engine oils in varying grades and quantities: 5 cases of Oil 80, 5 cases of Oil 100, 15 cases of Oil W80, 44 cases of Oil W100, and 41 cases of Oil W 15W 50 multigrade, with approximate annual usage totaling 1,320 quarts across all grades. All products must meet SAE specifications J-1966 and J-1899 and applicable Military specifications (US MIL-L-6082E and US MIL-L-22851D) for piston aircraft engine break-in and general use applications. Delivery and billing are directed to the Capital City Airport Division at 90 Airport Road, Building 401, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601. Bids must be submitted by August 30, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. to the KYTC Division of Purchases in Frankfort, Kentucky, and bidders are required to submit pricing for each line item and comply with multiple affidavit requirements, including certification of campaign finance law compliance, sales tax registration status, state tax compliance, and ethics prohibitions under Kentucky Revised Statutes. For additional information, bidders should contact Sheila Durham at 502-782-3975.

Bidders may claim resident bidder status subject to appropriate documentation, and qualified nonprofit organizations serving individuals with severe disabilities may claim preferential bidder status under applicable Kentucky statutes. Online bidding is prohibited, and bids must be submitted with the signature of an authorized agent or electronically through the designated system. No incumbent vendors or specific budget range was identified in the solicitation materials. The procurement does not specify an award value; however, the relatively modest quantities and annual usage totals suggest this is a specialized supply contract for a state aviation facility rather than a large-scale procurement. Interested bidders must prepare comprehensive submissions addressing all specified requirements and compliance certifications to be considered for award.
