Rebid of 2026 Gasoline & Diesel Fuel Bid

South Hills Area Council of Governments (SHACOG) Purchasing Alliance issued a rebid of its 2026 Gasoline & Diesel Fuel Bid, with submissions due October 29, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. through the PennBid platform. It is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for participating municipalities, municipal authorities, emergency service organizations, water and sewer authorities, ambulance authorities, volunteer fire departments, and school districts in Allegheny and Butler counties, Pennsylvania. Individual participating municipalities make awards, not SHACOG.

Scope covers gasoline meeting ASTM D4814 and ultra-low sulfur diesel meeting ASTM D975 at 15 ppm sulfur, compliant with the 1990 Federal Clean Air Act and applicable federal, state, county, and local environmental rules. Winter diesel may be elected September through March with a winterization differential (cloud point 0°F, pour point -15°F). Delivery occurs within two working days by metered truck to sites that participating municipalities specify. Orders are capped at 8,500 gallons for gasoline only, 7,500 gallons for diesel only, and 8,000 gallons for combined orders.

Pricing uses the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) daily report, with Pittsburgh averages as the base, plus a fixed per-gallon margin that covers overhead, profit, transportation, and all levies and taxes. The margin holds for the full term. No surcharges, fees, or other price adjustments apply, except that the vendor may request adjustments for shipping, transportation, labor, or raw material cost changes after the initial 75-day period, with 15 days' written notice. The successful vendor must supply daily OPIS reports with invoices and report volumes at contract conclusion if requested.

The contract period runs from September 25, 2026 through September 24, 2027, or until the next bid opening, whichever occurs sooner. Each bid requires a $1,000 bid bond, and bids remain valid for 75 days after opening. A performance bond equal to 100% of the estimated purchase may be required when a total estimated purchase exceeds $24,500. The attached tabulation records bids from Glassmere Fuel Service Inc, Guttman Energy, and Melzer's Fuel Service, with line items awarded on lowest price across quantity brackets. Mobile Diesel Efficient received no bids.
