The Billings Area Indian Health Service (IHS) intends to award a fixed-price commercial item contract in response to Request for Quotation (RFQ)-10-15-058-REL. The solicitation is issued on an unrestricted basis. The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-83.

STATEMENT OF WORK: The Contractor shall supply and deliver bulk propane to the Northern Cheyenne Service Unit employee quarters and Northern Cheyenne Health Center located in Lame Deer, Montana. An 18,000 gallon propane tank is used to supply the propane for two Teledyne Laars boilers, one Weil-McClain boiler, and two water heaters in the Mechanical room at the health center. Included in the proposal is a 250 gallon heliport tank that is used to supply propane to one TRANE unit heater in the Ambulance garage.
