Deliveries require a typical advance notice of 48 hours and should occur during business hours, excluding federal holidays. Invoices for delivered fuel will be issued by the supplier, detailing the quantity, pricing, and applicable taxes, with payments made via Government Purchase Card unless an authorized BPA Call is executed. Historically, fuel purchases for 2023 and 2024 are referenced but not detailed within the document. This solicitation illustrates the government's procurement strategy to ensure adequate fuel supplies for operational purposes while adhering to fixed pricing and delivery terms.
