Statewide Bulk Fuel Zone 4

The State of Idaho Division of Purchasing is conducting a Statewide Bulk Fuel procurement for Zone 4, which includes jurisdictions such as Camas County and Albion City. The solicitation is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the purchase of various fuel products, specifically gasoline, diesel #1 and #2 fuel, and biodiesel fuel for delivery to government agencies and public entities. Vendors must provide pricing based on the OPIS RackFax Rack Average price plus a fixed margin, with the bid price required to include freight, blending fees, and other associated costs. The contract term is one year with the potential for up to four additional one-year renewals. Bidders must comply with specific fuel specifications, including ASTM standards, octane and sulfur requirements, and delivery parameters. The bid response is due by August 5, 2024, and contractors must submit their pricing using the provided Bid Schedule attachment. Evaluation will likely focus on compliance with fuel specifications, pricing margin, and ability to meet delivery requirements across multiple sites in Zone 4.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, and workers compensation insurance, with the State of Idaho and its agencies listed as additional insured parties. The contract will be mandatory for all State of Idaho agencies and optional for other public agencies within the state. Contractors must agree to extend contract pricing, terms, and conditions to all Idaho public agencies as defined in the ITB. An administrative fee of 1.25% will be required to be remitted to the state. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the scope suggests a significant fuel procurement covering multiple government entities across Zone 4, potentially representing a substantial annual contract value. Vendors must demonstrate the capability to provide consistent fuel supply across various delivery sites and meet the technical specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.
