Fuel for District 5 with emergency conditions

The State of Illinois, Bureau of Strategic Sourcing, is seeking bids for the supply of both regular #2 diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel blends for District 5. The state intends to establish contracts for the delivery of these fuels on an as-needed basis during regular business hours. Vendors are required to bid a per-gallon differential that accounts for all delivery costs, and the final price will be automatically adjusted weekly based on the Chicago-area low posted rack prices from the DTN Energy publication. Fuel must meet or exceed current ASTM requirements and Illinois pollution control regulations. The contract will be awarded by delivery location to the low group total bidder meeting the stated requirements. The bid submission deadline is July 8, 2019.

This contracting opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not provided information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor has it specified any existing infrastructure or technology that may require integration. The total award value or budget range for this contract has also not been disclosed.
