A 10-year Blanket Purchase Agreement for bulk fuel procurement has been issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Department of the Interior for delivery to the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. The solicitation, numbered 140F0S26Q0022, is a full and open competition with a total small business set-aside, requiring offerors to be small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration. The agreement will supply three fuel types—clear ultra-low sulfur #2 diesel, unleaded gasoline with 10% ethanol, and marine-grade non-ethanol gasoline—with pricing to be submitted by contractors in response to individual call orders over the agreement’s term. The maximum government obligation over the full 10-year period is capped at $750,000, with no minimum guarantee. Offerors must locate their fuel delivery operations within 22 miles of the refuge and demonstrate the ability to deliver fuel within one business day of a call order, during standard business hours Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.

Contractors must submit comprehensive proposals including SF-18, SAM registration with UEI, past performance references, fuel station location details, and a signed compliance statement, all submitted via email by the April 9, 2026, deadline. The contract incorporates numerous Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses governing labor standards, equal opportunity, trafficking in persons, Buy American compliance, employment eligibility, paid sick leave, privacy training, supply chain security, ethics, whistleblower protections, and electronic invoicing. Payment must be processed exclusively through the Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, with WAWF not permitted. The contracting officer is Joni Dutcher, while the contracting officer’s representative has not yet been designated. No formal attachments, packaging, marking, or inspection standards are specified beyond compliance with general federal requirements, and all fuel deliveries must conform to federal regulations without explicit industry standards cited in the solicitation.
