Fuel for Utilities & Energy

Auburn University is seeking sealed competitive bids to supply a range of petroleum fuels—including undyed ultra‑low‑sulfur diesel, 89‑octane alcohol‑free gasoline, 87‑octane E‑10 gasoline, and #2 fuel oil (both under 5,000 gal and 5,000 gal or greater)—for its utilities, campus vehicles, and boiler operations. Bids must be submitted electronically through the JAGGAER portal by the sealed‑until deadline, with delivery required within 48 hours of order receipt and freight prepaid (FOB Destination). Pricing follows a cost‑plus structure: vendors provide a regional rack price plus a single fixed add‑on per product (two add‑ons for #2 oil based on volume). The contract is initially for one year with the possibility of up to four one‑year renewals, and the University may award on a line‑item basis, negotiate, or request oral presentations. Compliance certifications (Alabama sales‑tax registration, debarment status, E‑Verify, and immigration) are mandatory, and the University encourages subcontracting with small and disadvantaged businesses. • Supply of ULSD, 89‑octane, 87‑octane, and #2 fuel oil with ASTM D‑396 specifications for #2 oil. • Cost‑plus pricing: rack price + fixed add‑on (same per product, separate for #2 oil volume breakpoints). • Delivery within 48 hours, FOB Destination; penalties for late delivery. • One‑year term, renewable up to five years total; optional oral presentations and SB/SDB subcontracting requirements.
