Northern California Area Office (NCAO) Power Plant

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Bureau of Reclamation's Northern California Area Office (NCAO) is seeking to replenish oil supplies for three power plants: Trinity, Shasta, and John Francis Carr. The goal of this contract is to address significant oil shortages identified during an inspection of the power plants' oil inventory. The timely procurement of Chevron GST oil ISO 68 is critical to prevent potential shutdowns of the power plants. Work Details The contractor is required to supply a total of 5,900 gallons of new Chevron GST oil ISO 68, distributed as follows: - 2,000 gallons for Trinity Power Plant - 2,400 gallons for Shasta Power Plant - 1,500 gallons for John Francis Carr Power Plant. Deliveries must be made in bulk and coordinated on separate dates for each plant but must be completed on the same day as the initial arrival at each site. The oil must meet specific characteristics including API gravity of 31.7 and viscosity specifications as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW). The contractor must provide all necessary labor, tools, equipment, transportation, and incidental services to fulfill this requirement. Period of Performance The contract period will align with the delivery schedule for the oil replenishment. Place of Performance Deliveries will take place at three locations: - Trinity Power Plant (400 Trinity Powerhouse Rd., Lewiston, CA 96052) - Shasta Power Plant (16349 Shasta Dam Blvd., Shasta Lake, CA 96019) - John Francis Carr Power Plant (12250 Judge Franis Carr Powerhouse Rd., Redding, CA 96003). Bidder Requirements This solicitation is set aside for small businesses. Bidders must be registered with current representations and certifications. Additionally, bidders must quote all line items; partial quotes will not be accepted. The product must be sourced from authorized distributors or manufacturers due to specific brand requirements. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The opportunity appears to have a confirmed closely related prior contract, 140R2025A0009-140R2026F0029, awarded to Specialized Government Sourcing for $32,049 (04/09/26–04/08/27). The prior award is described as a BPA call for salt/ISO 68 oil, which aligns with the current requirement to procure and deliver Chevron GST oil ISO 68 in bulk to the Trinity, Shasta, and John Francis Carr power plants. This suggests the work is a continuation of sourcing and supplying ISO 68 oil for NCAO power plant operations.
