Contract: B-20 WITH B-5 OPTION BIODIESEL FUEL SUPPLY AND DELIVERY

The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, is issuing a Request for Bid (RFB) for B-20 and B-5 biodiesel fuel supply and delivery services to state agencies throughout New Hampshire. The primary deliverable is the supply and delivery of biodiesel fuel via tractor-trailer to the NHDOT Fuel Distribution center at UNH Campus in Durham, New Hampshire, with the State reserving the right to add or delete additional delivery locations throughout the contract term. All fuel must comply with ASTM specifications for B-20 and B-5 biodiesel blends with seasonal cloud point requirements ranging from +20°F to -5°F, and deliveries must be completed within 48 hours of order receipt, including weekends and holidays. Bidders must submit pricing using either an index-based format tied to OPIS Biodiesel Racks postings with a fixed mark-up per gallon, or a locked fixed-price format at the State's discretion; under the fixed-price format, a performance bond equal to 25 percent of the guaranteed volume is required. All pricing must be in U.S. dollars, include delivery and all other costs with no additional surcharges, be listed to four decimal places maximum, and include all taxes and fees. The State requires monthly consumption reports, quarterly and annual usage reports by agency, and comprehensive delivery documentation including dip stick readings, bills of lading, and tank identification information. The contract term runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028, with a two-year extension option subject to mutual agreement and Governor and Executive Council approval; the bid due date is June 9, 2026, at 9:00 AM Eastern Time, with questions due by May 29, 2026, and State responses due by June 5, 2026.

The RFB document does not specify any set-aside designations, restrictions on organization types, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the procurement documentation; however, the State indicates that estimated annual usage figures are provided for informational purposes only and do not represent minimum or guaranteed quantities, meaning actual contract value will depend on the State's consumption needs and the pricing submitted by successful bidders. The procurement is open to qualified vendors capable of supplying and delivering biodiesel fuel meeting the specified ASTM standards and operational requirements, with vendor contact information and signed transmittal letters required as part of the bid submission.
