SW contract for bulk propane gas

The state of Maryland is seeking to establish an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide bulk propane gas at a firm fixed price to various state and local agencies across the state. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item basis for each of the six defined regions within Maryland. Bidders may bid on as many regions as desired, but are not required to bid on all. The bid price will be determined by the vendor's fixed cost plus the average weekly OPIS posted closing price for propane at the Mont Belvieu, Texas pipeline for the week of delivery. Agencies included in the contract have existing propane gas tanks of varying types and sizes, as detailed in the provided Agency List. The contract term is not specified, but the previous IFB indicated a three-year term with two one-year renewal options.

This solicitation does not include a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) subcontracting goal, but Small Business Reserve vendors are encouraged to respond. No incumbent contractor information is provided, and the total contract value or budget range is not specified. The State reserves the right to award multiple contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for each region.
