Diesel Fuel Supply for U.S. Embassy Pretoria

The U.S. Embassy seeks a local fuel station to supply diesel to authorized post technicians on an as-needed basis through a blanket purchase agreement. Technicians will collect fuel directly from the contractor’s station, which must be within 5 km of the U.S. Government Annex or Chancery; the contractor will not deliver fuel to residences. Estimated demand is 6,000 liters monthly and 70,000 liters annually, but these quantities are not guaranteed, and purchases will be made through individual BPA calls capped at $10,000 or 4,000 liters each. Diesel must meet specified quality requirements, including a maximum sulfur content of 50 ppm and no water, sediment, microbial contamination, adulteration, or blending. The contractor must maintain sufficient supply, dispense fuel into government-provided bowsers or vehicle-mounted tanks, provide quality documentation when requested and at least quarterly, use calibrated pumps, and issue transaction receipts. The draft scope includes bracketed alternatives and unfilled terms for station details, operating hours, pricing, tax treatment, and invoicing; the posting also requires an expression of interest and company profile, fixed pricing confirmation, and System for Award Management registration.
