Description
The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services is issuing a competitive solicitation to establish statewide contracts for the purchase and delivery of various fuel products—including gasoline, diesel (ULSD), biodiesel blends, renewable diesel, and related additives—to eligible state, local, and tribal purchasers. The contract will be structured with “Keep‑Full” (continuous tank‑level management) and “Will‑Call” (on‑demand delivery) award categories across seven geographic regions, and contractors must submit firm fuel‑price margins based on OPIS Low rates, plus per‑mile delivery fees. The award will be a 36‑month base term with a possible 24‑month performance‑based extension.
• Scope covers fuel supply (gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, renewable diesel, isobutanol, bio‑iso‑octane, DEF) and optional additives across the entire state of Washington.
• Two delivery models: “Keep‑Full” (continuous inventory) and “Will‑Call” (as‑needed), each with separate award slots per region.
• Pricing must be submitted as a margin over OPIS Low rates (which already include Washington CAR and CFS compliance costs); delivery costs are charged per‑mile for defined mileage buckets.
• Contractor must carry substantial insurance (≥ $5 M commercial automobile liability, pollution endorsements, etc.) and meet extensive reporting, VMF (0.05 %) and compliance obligations.
