Bulk Fuel (SDA 506-0005)

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered MDC18180 for bulk fuel delivery services across three conservation areas in different regions of Missouri. The procurement seeks vendors to provide fuel delivery to the Drury-Mincy Conservation Area (diesel, Ozark Region), Andy Dalton Shooting Range and Outdoor Education Center (unleaded, Southwest Region), and Rockwoods Reservation (diesel, St. Louis Region). Vendors must submit bids specifying their maximum margin above the OPIS (Oil Price Information Service) rack pricing for an initial contract period with three potential one-year renewal options. The solicitation requires vendors to complete and submit Exhibit A and any applicable exhibits, with submission methods including electronic submission through the MissouriBUYS system or hard copy delivery to the Department of Conservation. The bid period opens on March 15, 2018, at 9:30:00 PM GMT and closes on April 26, 2018, at 8:00:00 PM GMT. Delivery terms are Free On Board Destination with Net 45 Days payment terms, and vendors must provide pricing for both the initial contract period and potential renewal periods.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation, and there are no explicit requirements for disadvantaged business enterprises. The documents do not disclose a specific total contract value or budget range, though the contract covers fuel delivery for three distinct conservation area locations. Payment will be structured based on the vendor's proposed margin above OPIS rack pricing, allowing flexibility in pricing strategy. The contract appears to be funded by the State of Missouri, specifically through the Department of Conservation's budget. While specific fuel quantity requirements are not detailed, the solicitation suggests the potential for ongoing fuel delivery needs across these conservation and outdoor education sites. Vendors will be evaluated primarily on their proposed pricing margins and ability to meet the delivery requirements for diesel and unleaded fuel to the specified locations.
