How to bid on an IDIQ Contract for LP Gas Utilities at Fort Stewart, GA (Dept. of the Army)
What the Army is buying and why it matters
The Department of the Army needs a contractor to provide Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas utility services for heating and operational needs at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia. This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, meaning the Army will order services as needed over the contract period.
The work involves monthly bulk LP gas deliveries to storage tanks across the installations, including garrison areas, ranges, and outlying areas. The contractor will also be responsible for the installation, maintenance, testing, and purging of LP gas systems. A key requirement is maintaining an automatic delivery schedule to ensure tank levels never drop below 20%.

This Request for Proposal (RFP) was published on July 22, 2026. The deadline for submitting your proposal is August 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. All proposals must be submitted by this time.
It is important to submit your response well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute technical issues. Late submissions are generally not considered.
Who this opportunity suits

Highlight your experience with automatic delivery scheduling and your plan for ensuring tank levels never fall below 20%.
