Aviation fuel juneau, AK

Airlift Northwest (ALNW), on behalf of UW Medicine Supply Chain, is seeking a supplier of Jet A Aviation Fuel for its Juneau, Alaska base through a Request for Proposals (RFP No. 6210). The procurement is for a comprehensive aviation fuel supply contract, covering a primary three-year period from September 1, 2025, to August 30, 2028, with potential extensions up to a total of nine years. The successful vendor will be responsible for delivering aviation fuel meeting ASTM D1655 specifications directly to ALNW's 15,000-gallon storage tank at Juneau International Airport, with a mandatory 24-hour response time for refueling and priority service during emergencies. Current fuel consumption is approximately 102,003 gallons annually, requiring approximately 13 deliveries per year. Proposals are due by 12:00 PM Pacific Time on Friday, June 6, 2025, with bidder questions accepted until May 23, 2025, at 12:00 PM Pacific Time. The pricing structure will be dynamically based on the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) Pacific Northwest Jet fuel prior week's average, inclusive of all applicable taxes, fees, and delivery charges. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, fuel quality, delivery capabilities, and compliance with specified requirements.

The RFP encourages participation by Minority and Women's Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Small Businesses, though no minimum participation levels are mandated. Potential bidders must register with UW Medicine's vendor management system and comply with specified insurance requirements. Credit terms of 30 days from invoice are specified, with provisions for quarterly performance reviews. Vendors will be required to demonstrate fuel quality, traceability, and certification capabilities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the annual fuel consumption of 102,003 gallons provides a baseline for potential contract value. Bidders must be prepared to work in Washington State and integrate with ALNW's existing fuel storage infrastructure, which includes a 15,000-gallon storage tank and requirements for a dedicated onsite truck with a Prist injector system. The procurement process includes comprehensive documentation requirements, including a detailed questionnaire and pricing template that allows for granular cost breakdowns covering various fuel-related fees and charges.
