MODOT Central District Bulk Oil

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Central District has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) seeking vendors to supply bulk oil products, specifically motor oils and hydraulic oils, through a multiple-award contract. The solicitation covers various oil grades including 15W-40, 5W-30, 10W-30 motor oils, and universal hydraulic/transmission oil, available in both bulk quantities and 55-gallon drum packaging. Vendors must provide comprehensive product details including brand names, manufacturer information, and unit pricing for each item. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed-pricing basis, with orders determined by price, product availability, and delivery capabilities. Bids are due by August 9, 2021, at 2:00 PM CDT, with the initial contract period running from the award date through July 30, 2022, and two optional one-year renewal periods available. Delivery requirements include a mandatory 2-business day advance notification, and deliveries must occur during normal business hours with a MoDOT representative present.

The solicitation actively encourages participation from minority-owned and women-owned businesses, with specific goals of 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) preferences are also incorporated into the procurement. Vendors must provide pump meter certification from the past 12 months, Materials Safety Data Sheets for each product, and accept responsibility for cleanup of over-filled tanks and removal of empty drums. The contract includes provisions for both re-refined and virgin oil products, with a preference for re-refined options. Price increases may be requested after the first three months of the contract period, subject to written justification and MoDOT approval. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates the contract will be multiple-award, allowing for several vendors to be selected based on their ability to meet the specified requirements and provide competitive pricing.
