68--Sources Sought For Propane Delivery

The U.S. Geological Survey is issuing a Sources‑Sought notice to identify qualified contractors—particularly small businesses (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB)—capable of providing ongoing liquid propane (LP) deliveries to the USGS Conte Research Laboratory in Turners Falls, MA. The lab operates an 18,000‑gallon above‑ground tank and requires automatic fill‑ups 4–6 times per year, each delivery of approximately 9,000 gallons (about 50 % of tank capacity) to be completed within 7 days of a request. Deliveries will be made via tractor‑trailer (or modified bobtail trucks) over two bridges with specific weight ratings, and must occur between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday‑Friday, excluding federal holidays. Contractors must hold all required Massachusetts fuel‑delivery licenses, have inspected vehicles and equipment, perform pre‑fill visual tank inspections, record tank levels before and after off‑load, and submit delivery reports and bills of lading. All work is to be performed under a Blanket Purchase Order, with the contractor providing all personnel, tools, and equipment; no facility staff will assist with unloading or storage. Interested firms must submit, by 10:00 a.m. ET on May 13 2026, a response via email to Dayna Parkin (dayna_parkin@ios.doi.gov) that includes the company’s name, address, phone, UEI, a capability statement detailing relevant performance in the past three fiscal years (including role, contacts, and references), and the firm’s size status. Respondents must be registered in SAM and have current online representations and certifications for small‑business status. This market research will inform future RFQ development; no contract award is implied by this notice.
