91--Propane

The contract is for the supply, delivery, and monitoring of propane to Bureau of Indian Education facilities under a Firm Fixed Price arrangement, with a performance period from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027. The primary delivery location is Pine Ridge School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, where propane tanks of 1,000 and 500 gallons will be refueled on a bi-weekly basis and as needed during school hours. The contractor is required to install and maintain electronic tank monitoring systems to independently track propane levels and ensure a minimum 20% fuel reserve at all times, while also providing immediate spill reporting and cleanup in compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations. All deliveries occur under FOB Destination terms, with acceptance conducted by the government at the site of delivery, and payment must be submitted electronically via the Internet Payment Platform. The contract is strictly an Indian Economic Enterprise small business set-aside under NAICS code 324110, with offerors required to self-certify their status as such and provide UEI and CAGE codes. Evaluation follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable model, where proposals must pass all criteria—price, set-aside compliance, and capability—on a pass/fail basis, with no negotiations allowed. Technical acceptability requires the ability to deliver propane consistently, operate monitoring systems, and comply with safety, environmental, and reporting obligations. The contract incorporates numerous FAR clauses addressing labor rights, equal opportunity, trafficking prevention, employment verification, Buy American requirements, payment by electronic funds transfer, whistleblower protections, and safeguarding of federal contract information. No packaging, preservation, or labeling specifications are detailed, and no formal contract value is stated due to unpopulated pricing fields in Section B. The Indian Education Acquisition Office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, administers the contract with Leah Azure listed as the primary point of contact for submissions, though no Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer’s Representative is named at this time. Proposals must be submitted electronically as a single PDF file via email by May 14, 2026, and are subject to penalties for false certifications under federal law.
