No other commercial provider offers comparable station-level pricing data segmented by PADD region, RFG mandate status, and branded/unbranded classification at the granularity required by the EIA. OPIS is the only source that can satisfy this requirement. The anticipated period of performance is for one base year and five, one-year option periods. This notice of intent is for information purposes only. All sources eligible to meet this requirement must respond in writing.

A request for documentation will not be considered as an affirmative response.
