1. INTRODUCTION

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command – Fort Irwin (MICC – Fort Irwin), located at U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Fort Irwin, California, is issuing this Sources Sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) FAR Part 10 to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support the requirement for the continuous bulk supply and tanker delivery of Odorized Grade HD-5 Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) (ASTM D1835 / GPA Standard 2140) to four (4) Directorate of Public Works (DPW)-managed bulk storage tank farms at USAG Fort Irwin and the National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California 92310. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement, if a requirement materializes. Based on the responses to this Sources Sought notice/market research, this requirement may be set-aside for small businesses (in full or in part) or procured through full and open competition. All small business Set-Aside categories will be considered, including 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) concerns. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged, and no feedback or evaluations will be provided to companies regarding their submissions. The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 324110 (Petroleum Refineries), with a corresponding Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard of 1,500 employees, and Product Service Code (PSC) 6830 (Gases: Compressed and Liquefied). The Government anticipates awarding a single Indefinite-Delivery, Requirements Contract (FAR 52.216-21) utilizing Firm-Fixed-Price with Economic Price Adjustment (FFP-EPA) unit pricing tied to the Mont Belvieu Propane Spot Index under RFO FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services). The anticipated Period of Performance consists of one (1) 12-month Base Period (May 01, 2027 – April 30, 2028), four (4) 12-month Option Periods (May 01, 2028 – April 30, 2032), and one (1) optional 6-month extension period (May 01, 2032 – October 31, 2032). This is a follow-on requirement to Contract Number W9124B-25-F-A049 (and predecessor Contract Number W9124B-20-C-0005) held by AePex Energy. Note that USAG Fort Irwin anticipates a future Utility Energy Services Contract (UESC) natural gas line conversion that may reduce or conclude bulk propane demand prior to the end of the five-year ordering period; accordingly, the Government does not guarantee a minimum or exact volume under the contemplated Requirements contract structure.
