California DGS is seeking market input to shape a future statewide renewable diesel solicitation.
- **Government buyer:** State of California, Department of General Services (DGS), Procurement Division (DGS-PD), Statewide Procurement.
- **Opportunity:** Request for Information (RFI) on statewide supply of renewable diesel for state agencies’ industrial and heavy-duty diesel engines, including red-dyed fuel where required. No purchase quantity, annual volume, or part number is specified.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No fuel OEM or supplier is named. Kinder Morgan is mentioned only as an example of a possible pipeline transport provider, not as a fuel manufacturer or selected vendor.
- **Product and preliminary requirements:** Renewable diesel final blend must contain renewable hydrocarbon diesel and may include up to 5% biodiesel. It must meet ASTM D975 No. 2-D S15, applicable California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements, and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Seasonal summer and winter blends are required.
  - Maximum cloud point: -9°C for winter blend and -4°C for summer blend.
  - Maximum biodiesel content: 5% by volume; cold-soak filter-blocking tendency maximum 1.2; oxidative stability at least six hours; fuel must be clear and bright.
  - Quality provisions include lot traceability, sampling and testing, certificates of analysis, and contaminant-free transport equipment. Biodiesel, if included, must meet ASTM D6751 Grade 2-B S15 and come from a BQ-9000-certified producer.
- **Carbon intensity:** The RFI asks suppliers about the feasibility and impact of a carbon-intensity threshold of 40 or less; this is a question for market research, not a confirmed final requirement.
- **Contract outlook:** A future contract is expected to be mandatory for state agencies and may be available to local government agencies. The anticipated term is three years, with two optional one-year extensions. The RFI itself does not establish a contract period.
