Fuel Supply and Delivery to Districts 1, 6, and 8

The State of Nebraska, through the Department of Administrative Services (DAS), Materiel Division, State Purchasing Bureau (SPB), is seeking a qualified vendor to provide Fuel Supply and Delivery services for Districts 1, 6, and 8. The procurement involves a comprehensive fuel delivery contract for various fuel types, including ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) #1, ULSD #2, blended diesel fuels (70/30, 60/40, 50/50), and gasoline products (E10, E30, E85). The contract requires vendors to deliver fuel to multiple Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) facilities across the state, with specific requirements including delivery within 48 hours of notification, during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM). Vendors must provide metered delivery tickets and maintain fixed pricing for the first year of the contract. The solicitation requires bidders to complete a detailed cost proposal bid sheet, specifying pricing for each fuel type at various locations with documented tank capacities and estimated annual usage. The bid response is due on March 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with the initial contract term set for one year from execution, and the state reserving the right to extend the contract.

The procurement does not explicitly outline any set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The contract appears to be open to all qualified fuel suppliers capable of meeting the specified delivery and pricing requirements. The total potential contract value is not directly stated, but the bid sheet indicates significant fuel volume across numerous NDOT facilities, with estimated annual usage ranging from 250 to 45,000 gallons per product per location. The state maintains flexibility in the contract, reserving the right to deny requested price increases and requiring vendors to provide the full proportionate benefit of any price decreases. Notably, the state is exempt from federal fuel taxes, which may impact overall pricing structures. The procurement covers fuel delivery to multiple districts, including locations in Lincoln, Seward, Greenwood, Falls City, Auburn, Palmyra, Nebraska City, Tecumseh, Beatrice, Pawnee, Lexington, North Platte, Ogallala, Mullen, Valentine, and O'Neill, suggesting a comprehensive statewide fuel supply contract.
