Standing offer: Into-plane aviation fuel
United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC): 15101504 – Aviation fuel
National Master Standing Offer (NMSO)
What do we buy
Public Services and Procurement Canada seeks to establish a NMSO for the government of Canada’s departments, agencies, Crown corporations, and organizations participating in the Canadian Collaborative Procurement Initiative (CCPI).
This procurement tool is used for the supply and delivery of aviation fuel into aircraft at identified airports in Canada to any authorized user.
How do we buy
- Into-plane aviation fuel is procured through the National Fuel Procurement Program (NFPP), which provides a structured approach for procuring bulk fuels to the Federal Government
- The standing offer (SO) is retendered biannually, with prices that require regular refreshes, as they are allowed to fluctuate with the petroleum markets
- Authorised users can issue call-ups up to $1M. The PSPC SO authority may issue the call-up for amounts exceeding $1M
- Each requirement is consolidated by airport and fuel type. Only 1 SO is issued for each consolidated requirement
- Award by lowest price per consolidated requirement ensures maximum competition and promotes multiple SOs
- There are 13 suppliers that service 63 airports in every province and territory except Nunavut
- Authorised users are clearly identified in the SOs, but the addition of new users is permitted under the SO
Socio-economic aspects
Small and medium-sized enterprises: This opportunity is open to all bidders through an open bidding process.
Value / Savings / Considerations
By leveraging the consolidated business volume through the use of SOs, CCPI participants benefit from having quick access to a wide selection of suppliers for the purchase of aviation fuel while also achieving economies of scale and cost-efficiency.
