91--MS-FWS NOXUBEE NWR-FUEL BPA SETUP

This contract establishes a Blanket Purchasing Agreement (BPA) for the delivery of bulk fuel, specifically 87 Octane Unleaded Gas and #2 On-Road Diesel, to the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge in Brooksville, Mississippi, under the authority of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The BPA has a five-year period of performance from June 15, 2026, to June 14, 2031, with an authorized spending ceiling of $250,000 over its life, though no firm commitments or specific order quantities are defined at the time of award. Pricing is based on the OPIS rack price plus a negotiated mark-up per gallon, with deliveries required under FOB Destination terms to the refuge site. The procurement is structured as a firm-fixed-price commercial acquisition under FAR Part 12, and is fully set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB), requiring offerors to self-certify their status and provide documentation to verify ownership and control in accordance with SBA regulations. All contractors must hold an active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) in SAM.gov and comply with extensive federal compliance clauses, including whistleblower protections, restrictions on ByteDance, Kaspersky, and other covered telecommunications and surveillance products, and requirements to report executive compensation and subcontractor awards. Payment must be submitted electronically via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), and accelerated payment terms must be offered to small business subcontractors. The contracting officer, Keith Rose, is the primary point of contact, with delivery coordination handled by Travis Carpenter at the refuge. Technical proposals must include a narrative outlining delivery methodology, identification of key personnel, and proof of past performance on at least three similar bulk fuel delivery projects. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery point, with final authority resting with the government. No formal packaging, marking, or bar-coding specifications are mandated beyond basic shipping labels identifying ship number and total containers, consistent with commercial item procedures. Offerors must submit proposals via email by June 12, 2026, with no page limits or multi-volume structure required, and all representations must be certified as accurate under penalty of the False Claims Act.
